[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.
