From: Hou Tao <houtao1@xxxxxxxxxx> When trying to use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read vsyscall page through a bpf program, the following oops was reported: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffff600000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 3231067 P4D 3231067 PUD 3233067 PMD 3235067 PTE 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 20390 Comm: test_progs ...... 6.7.0+ #58 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) ......

It happens as follow: a bpf program uses bpf_probe_read_kernel() to read from vsyscall page, bpf_probe_read_kernel() invokes copy_from_kernel_nofault() in turn and then invokes __get_user_asm(). Because the vsyscall page address is not readable for kernel space, a page fault exception is triggered accordingly, handle_page_fault() considers the vsyscall page address as a userspace address instead of a kernel space address, so the fix-up set-up by bpf isn't applied. Because the CPU has SMAP feature and the access happens in kernel mode, so page_fault_oops() is invoked and an oops happens. If these is no SMAP feature, the fix-up set-up by bpf will be applied and copy_from_kernel_nofault() will return -EFAULT instead. Considering handle_page_fault() has already considered the vsyscall page address as a userspace address, fix the problem by disallowing vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault().
