[PATCH 1/2] /proc/kcore: Fix SMAP violation when dumping vsyscall user page

[PATCH 1/2] /proc/kcore: Fix SMAP violation when dumping vsyscall user page

[Jia Zhang]

The commit df04abfd181a
("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data") introduces a
bounce buffer to work around CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y. However,
accessing vsyscall user page will cause SMAP violation in this way.

In order to fix this issue, simply replace memcpy() with copy_from_user()
may work, but using a common way to handle this sort of user page may be
useful for future.

Currently, only vsyscall page requires KCORE_USER.

[PATCH 2/2] x86/mm/64: Add vsyscall page to /proc/kcore conditionally

[Jia Zhang]

The vsyscall page should be visible only if
vsyscall=emulate/native when dumping /proc/kcore.

nit, we use { } when there's more than 1 line code 

anyway the approach looks ok to me

[PATCH v2 0/2] /proc/kcore: Fix SMAP violation when dumping vsyscall user page

[Jia Zhang]

This patchset was validated with the combinations of pti=on/off and vsyscall=native/emulate/none.
In addition, CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is always enabled.

v2:
  - Use { } around kclist_add() when there's more than 1 line code
