Subject: [PATCH] fs/proc/kcore: reinstate bounce buffer for KCORE_TEXT regions
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2023 22:50:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230731215021.70911-1-lstoakes@gmail.com> (raw)

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.

Fixes: 2e1c0170771e ("fs/proc/kcore: avoid bounce buffer for ktext data")
