Baoquan He reported lots of KFENCE reports when /proc/kcore is read,
e.g. with crash or even simpler with dd:
BUG: KFENCE: invalid read in copy_from_kernel_nofault+0x5e/0x120
Invalid read at 0x00000000f4f5149f:
copy_from_kernel_nofault+0x5e/0x120
read_kcore+0x6b2/0x870
proc_reg_read+0x9a/0xf0
vfs_read+0x94/0x270
ksys_read+0x70/0x100
__do_syscall+0x1d0/0x200
system_call+0x82/0xb0
The reason for this is that read_kcore() simply reads memory that might
have been unmapped by KFENCE with copy_from_kernel_nofault(). Any fault due
to pages being unmapped by KFENCE would be handled gracefully by the fault
handler (exception table fixup).
However the s390 fault handler first reports the fault, and only afterwards
would perform the exception table fixup. Most architectures have this in
reversed order, which also avoids the false positive KFENCE reports when an
unmapped page is accessed.
Therefore change the s390 fault handler so it handles exception table
fixups before KFENCE page faults are reported.
