From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> Hi, As reported by syzboot [1] and [2], when trying to read vsyscall page by using bpf_probe_read_kernel() or bpf_probe_read(), oops may happen. Thomas Gleixner had proposed a test patch [3], but it seems that no formal patch is posted after about one month [4], so I post it instead and add an Originally-by tag in patch #2. Patch #1 makes is_vsyscall_vaddr() being a common helper. Patch #2 fixes the problem by disallowing vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault(). Patch #3 adds one test case to ensure the read of vsyscall page through bpf is rejected. Please see individual patches for more details. Comments are always welcome.
