From 7f9b58a646ac76db3f4edd59f8439e8c2d3c80eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Stoakes Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2023 22:50:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc/kcore: reinstate bounce buffer for KCORE_TEXT regions [ Upstream commit 17457784004c84178798432a029ab20e14f728b1 ] Some architectures do not populate the entire range categorised by KCORE_TEXT, so we must ensure that the kernel address we read from is valid. Unfortunately there is no solution currently available to do so with a purely iterator solution so reinstate the bounce buffer in this instance so we can use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in order to avoid page faults when regions are unmapped. This change partly reverts commit 2e1c0170771e ("fs/proc/kcore: avoid bounce buffer for ktext data"), reinstating the bounce buffer, but adapts the code to continue to use an iterator.
