commit 91428ca9320edbab1211851d82429d33b9cd73ef upstream. Because of the way the _PAGE_READ is handled in the parisc PTE, an access interruption is not generated when the kernel reads from a region where the _PAGE_READ is zero. The current code was written assuming read access faults would also occur in the kernel. This change adds user access checks to raw_copy_from_user(). The prober_user() define checks whether user code has read access to a virtual address. Note that page faults are not handled in the exception support for the probe instruction. For this reason, we precede the probe by a ldb access check.

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.
