The current bpf_probe_read() and bpf_probe_read_str() helpers are broken
in that they assume they can be used for probing memory access for kernel
space addresses /as well as/ user space addresses.
However, plain use of probe_kernel_read() for both cases will attempt to
always access kernel space address space given access is performed under
KERNEL_DS and some archs in-fact have overlapping address spaces where a
kernel pointer and user pointer would have the /same/ address value and
therefore accessing application memory via bpf_probe_read{,_str}() would
read garbage values.
Lets fix BPF side by making use of recently added 3d7081822f7f ("uaccess:
Add non-pagefault user-space read functions"). Unfortunately, the only way
to fix this status quo is to add dedicated bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}()
and bpf_probe_read_{user,kernel}_str() helpers. The bpf_probe_read{,_str}()
helpers are kept as-is to retain their current behavior.
The two *_user() variants attempt the access always under USER_DS set, the
two *_kernel() variants will -EFAULT when accessing user memory if the
underlying architecture has non-overlapping address ranges, also avoiding
throwing the kernel warning via 00c42373d397 ("x86-64: add warning for
non-canonical user access address dereferences").
Fixes: a5e8c07059d0 ("bpf: add bpf_probe_read_str helper")
Fixes: 2541517c32be ("tracing, perf: Implement BPF programs attached to kprobes")

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.
