Subject: fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df04abfd181a;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data

We hit hardened usercopy feature check for kernel text access by reading
kcore file:

  usercopy: kernel memory exposure attempt detected from ffffffff8179a01f (<kernel text>) (4065 bytes)
  kernel BUG at mm/usercopy.c:75!

Bypassing this check for kcore by adding bounce buffer for ktext data.
