Hou Tao says: ==================== Fix the read of vsyscall page through bpf From: Hou Tao <houtao1@huawei.com> 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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
