[PATCH 4.14 08/62] ARM: mm: fix alignment handler faults under memory pressure

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Nov 08 2019 - 14:20:51 EST


From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 67e15fa5b487adb9b78a92789eeff2d6ec8f5cee ]

When the system has high memory pressure, the page containing the
instruction may be paged out. Using probe_kernel_address() means that
if the page is swapped out, the resulting page fault will not be
handled because page faults are disabled by this function.

Use get_user() to read the instruction instead.
