Subject: [PATCH 4.14 163/183] vfs/proc/kcore, x86/mm/kcore: Fix SMAP fault when dumping vsyscall user page

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jia Zhang <zhang.jia@...ux.alibaba.com>


[ Upstream commit 595dd46ebfc10be041a365d0a3fa99df50b6ba73 ]

Commit:

  df04abfd181a ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data")

... introduced a bounce buffer to work around CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y.
However, accessing the vsyscall user page will cause an SMAP fault.

Replace memcpy() with copy_from_user() to fix this bug works, but adding
a common way to handle this sort of user page may be useful for future.

Currently, only vsyscall page requires KCORE_USER.
