commit 416721ff05fddc58ca531b6f069de250301de6e5 upstream.
Commit 21855cac82d3 ("riscv/mm: Prevent kernel module to access user
memory without uaccess routines") added early exits/deaths for page
faults stemming from accesses to user-space without using proper
uaccess routines (where sstatus.SUM is set).
Unfortunatly, this is too strict for some BPF programs, which relies
on BPF exhandler fixups. These BPF programs loads "BTF pointers". A
BTF pointers could either be a valid kernel pointer or NULL, but not a
userspace address.
Resolve the problem by calling the fixup handler in the early exit
path.

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.
