Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Check that access_process_vm() has a valid target

From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

Check that access_process_vm() is accessing a valid mapping in the target
process.

This limits ptrace() accesses and accesses through /proc/<pid>/maps to only
those regions actually mapped by a program.
