2020-06-17maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofaultChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1

2020-06-09maccess: always use strict semantics for probe_kernel_readChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
Except for historical confusion in the kprobes/uprobes and bpf tracers, which has been fixed now, there is no good reason to ever allow user memory accesses from probe_kernel_read. Switch probe_kernel_read to only read from kernel memory.

2020-06-09maccess: unify the probe kernel arch hooksChristoph Hellwig1-6/+4
Currently architectures have to override every routine that probes kernel memory, which includes a pure read and strcpy, both in strict and not strict variants. Just provide a single arch hooks instead to make sure all architectures cover all the cases.

2013-09-07um: Implement probe_kernel_read()Richard Weinberger1-0/+24
UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel mode faults correctly. The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process. This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used. Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.
