lkdtm: fix ACCESS_USERSPACE test
Add a copy_to_user() call to the ACCESS_USERSPACE test prior to attempting direct dereferencing of the user address to ensure the page is present. Otherwise, a fault occurs on arm kernels even prior to the introduction of CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN, and there is no difference in behavior for CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN=n vs CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN=y. Before this change, for any value of CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN: lkdtm: Performing direct entry ACCESS_USERSPACE lkdtm: attempting bad read at b6fe8000 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address b6fe8000 After this change, for CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN=n: lkdtm: Performing direct entry ACCESS_USERSPACE lkdtm: attempting bad read at b6efc000 lkdtm: attempting bad write at b6efc000 After this change, for CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN=y: lkdtm: Performing direct entry ACCESS_USERSPACE lkdtm: attempting bad read at b6f7d000 Unhandled fault: page domain fault (0x01b) at 0xb6f7d000 ...
