Subject: [PATCH 3.16 051/136] ARM: mm: fix alignment handler faults under
 memory pressure

3.16.80-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@...linux.org.uk>

commit 67e15fa5b487adb9b78a92789eeff2d6ec8f5cee upstream.

When the system has high memory pressure, the page containing the
instruction may be paged out.  Using probe_kernel_address() means that
if the page is swapped out, the resulting page fault will not be
handled because page faults are disabled by this function.

Use get_user() to read the instruction instead.
