commit bffe30dd9f1f3b2608a87ac909a224d6be472485 upstream.
The #VC handler must run in atomic context and cannot sleep. This is a
problem when it tries to fetch instruction bytes from user-space via
copy_from_user().
Introduce a insn_fetch_from_user_inatomic() helper which uses
__copy_from_user_inatomic() to safely copy the instruction bytes to
kernel memory in the #VC handler.

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.
