Subject: [PATCH bpf v2 2/3] x86/mm: Disallow vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault()

From: Hou Tao <houtao1@...wei.com>

When trying to use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read vsyscall page
through a bpf program, the following oops was reported:

  BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffff600000
  #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

It seems the occurrence of oops depends on SMAP feature of CPU. It
happens as follow: a bpf program uses bpf_probe_read_kernel() to read
from vsyscall page, bpf_probe_read_kernel() invokes
copy_from_kernel_nofault() in turn and then invokes __get_user_asm().
Because the vsyscall page address is not readable for kernel space,
a page fault exception is triggered accordingly, handle_page_fault()
considers the vsyscall page address as a userspace address instead of a
kernel space address, so the fix-up set-up by bpf isn't applied. Because
the CPU has SMAP feature and the access happens in kernel mode, so
page_fault_oops() is invoked and an oops happens. If these is no SMAP
feature, the fix-up set-up by bpf will be applied and
copy_from_kernel_nofault() will return -EFAULT instead.

Considering handle_page_fault() has already considered the vsyscall page
address as a userspace address, fix the problem by disallowing vsyscall
page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault().
