x86/mm: Disallow vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault()
[ Upstream commit 32019c659ecfe1d92e3bf9fcdfbb11a7c70acd58 ]
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

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
The oops is triggered when:
1) A bpf program uses bpf_probe_read_kernel() to read from the vsyscall
page and invokes copy_from_kernel_nofault() which in turn calls
__get_user_asm().
2) Because the vsyscall page address is not readable from kernel space,
a page fault exception is triggered accordingly.
3) handle_page_fault() considers the vsyscall page address as a user
space address instead of a kernel space address. This results in the
fix-up setup by bpf not being applied and a page_fault_oops() is invoked
due to SMAP.
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().
