Subject: [GIT PULL] kallsyms_show_value-fix updates for v5.9-rc1

Hi Linus,

Please pull this fix to my kallsyms_show_value() refactoring for
v5.9-rc1. About a month after the original refactoring landed, 0day
noticed that there was a path through the kernfs binattr read handlers
that did not have PAGE_SIZEd buffers, and the module "sections" read
handler made a bad assumption about this, resulting in it stomping on
memory when reached through small-sized splice() calls. I've added a set
of tests to find these kinds of regressions more quickly in the future
as well.

Thanks!

-Kees
