Subject[PATCH v2] proc/vmcore: fix clearing user buffer by properly using clear_user()
Date
To clear a user buffer we cannot simply use memset, we have to use
clear_user(). With a virtio-mem device that registers a vmcore_cb and has
some logically unplugged memory inside an added Linux memory block, I can
easily trigger a BUG by copying the vmcore via "cp":

Some x86-64 CPUs have a CPU feature called "Supervisor Mode Access
Prevention (SMAP)", which is used to detect wrong access from the kernel to
user buffers like this: SMAP triggers a permissions violation on wrong
access. In the x86-64 variant of clear_user(), SMAP is properly
handled via clac()+stac().

To fix, properly use clear_user() when we're dealing with a user buffer.
