ARC: mm: SIGSEGV userspace trying to access kernel virtual memory
As of today if userspace process tries to access a kernel virtual addres
(0x7000_0000 to 0x7ffff_ffff) such that a legit kernel mapping already
exists, that process hangs instead of being killed with SIGSEGV
Fix that by ensuring that do_page_fault() handles kenrel vaddr only if
in kernel mode.
And given this, we can also simplify the code a bit. Now a vmalloc fault
implies kernel mode so its failure (for some reason) can reuse the
@no_context label and we can remove @bad_area_nosemaphore.
Reproduce user test for original problem:
------------------------>8-----------------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
volatile uint32_t temp;
temp = *(uint32_t *)(0x70000000);
}
