sysrq-t ends up invoking show_opcodes() for each task which tries to access the user space code of other processes, which is obviously bogus. It either manages to dump where the foreign task's regs->ip points to in a valid mapping of the current task or triggers a pagefault and prints "Code: Bad RIP value.". Both is just wrong. Add a safeguard in copy_code() and check whether the @regs pointer matches currents pt_regs. If not, do not even try to access it. While at it, add commentary why using copy_from_user_nmi() is safe in copy_code() even if the function name suggests otherwise.

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.
