Revision 7a7003b1da010d2b0d1dc8bf21c10f5c73b389f1 authored by Mark Rutland on 02 November 2017, 16:12:03 UTC, committed by Catalin Marinas on 02 November 2017, 18:33:08 UTC
It's possible for a user to deliberately trigger __dump_instr with a
chosen kernel address.

Let's avoid problems resulting from this by using get_user() rather than
__get_user(), ensuring that we don't erroneously access kernel memory.

Where we use __dump_instr() on kernel text, we already switch to
KERNEL_DS, so this shouldn't adversely affect those cases.
