[PATCH 13/20] maccess: always use strict semantics for probe_kernel_read

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Tue May 19 2020 - 09:46:24 EST


Except for historical confusion in the kprobes/uprobes and bpf tracers,
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 itself, and try to read user memory in the tracers only if
the address is smaller than TASK_SIZE, and the architecture has
non-overlapping address ranges.
