From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel at iogearbox.net>

commit 75a1a607bb7e6d918be3aca11ec2214a275392f4 upstream.

Add two new probe_kernel_read_strict() and strncpy_from_unsafe_strict()
helpers which by default alias to the __probe_kernel_read() and the
__strncpy_from_unsafe(), respectively, but can be overridden by archs
which have non-overlapping address ranges for kernel space and user
space in order to bail out with -EFAULT when attempting to probe user
memory including non-canonical user access addresses [0]:

  4-level page tables:
    user-space mem: 0x0000000000000000 - 0x00007fffffffffff
    non-canonical:  0x0000800000000000 - 0xffff7fffffffffff

  5-level page tables:
    user-space mem: 0x0000000000000000 - 0x00ffffffffffffff
    non-canonical:  0x0100000000000000 - 0xfeffffffffffffff

The idea is that these helpers are complementary to the probe_user_read()
and strncpy_from_unsafe_user() which probe user-only memory. Both added
helpers here do the same, but for kernel-only addresses.

Both set of helpers are going to be used for BPF tracing. They also
explicitly avoid throwing the splat for non-canonical user addresses from
00c42373d397 ("x86-64: add warning for non-canonical user access address
dereferences").

For compat, the current probe_kernel_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe() are
left as-is.
