Changbin Du 2c4f1fcbef kprobe: Do not use uaccess functions to access kernel memory that can fault
The userspace can ask kprobe to intercept strings at any memory address,
including invalid kernel address. In this case, fetch_store_strlen()
would crash since it uses general usercopy function, and user access
functions are no longer allowed to access kernel memory.

For example, we can crash the kernel by doing something as below:

$ sudo kprobe 'p:do_sys_open +0(+0(%si)):string'

This can be fixed by using probe_mem_read() instead, as it can handle faulting
kernel memory addresses, which kprobes can legitimately do.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
