[PATCH v3 3/5] uaccess: Add non-pagefault user-space read functions

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Wed Feb 27 2019 - 09:44:11 EST


Add probe_user_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe_user() which
allows caller to access user-space in IRQ context.

Current probe_kernel_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe() are
not available for user-space memory, because it sets
KERNEL_DS while accessing data. On some arch, user address
space and kernel address space can be co-exist, but others
can not. In that case, setting KERNEL_DS means given
address is treated as a kernel address space.

To access user-space memory without pagefault, we need
these new functions which sets USER_DS while accessing
the data.

Changes in v3:
- Use user_access_ok() for probe_user_read().
Changes in v2:
- Simplify strncpy_from_unsafe_user() using strncpy_from_user()
according to Linus's suggestion.
- Simplify probe_user_read() not using intermediate function.
