From f75b1b1bedfb498cc43a992ce4d7ed8df3b1e770 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2013 18:46:00 +0200 Subject: um: Implement probe_kernel_read() UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel mode faults correctly. The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process. This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used. Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.
