As of today if userspace process tries to access a kernel virtual addres
(0x7000_0000 to 0x7ffff_ffff) such that a legit kernel mapping already
exists, that process hangs instead of being killed with SIGSEGV
Fix that by ensuring that do_page_fault() handles kenrel vaddr only if
in kernel mode.
And given this, we can also simplify the code a bit. Now a vmalloc fault
implies kernel mode so its failure (for some reason) can reuse the
@no_context label and we can remove @bad_area_nosemaphore.
Reproduce user test for original problem:
------------------------>8-----------------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
volatile uint32_t temp;
temp = *(uint32_t *)(0x70000000);
}
------------------------>8-----------------

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
