[PATCH v2] x86/dumpstack: fix address space casting in show_opcodes()

From: Jann Horn
Date: Fri Aug 31 2018 - 09:52:11 EST


I sloppily passed a kernel-typed pointer to __range_not_ok(), and sparse
doesn't like that.
Make `prologue` an unsigned long and cast it to a kernel pointer when
calling probe_kernel_read(), just like ~everyone else who calls
probe_kernel_read().
Instead of __range_not_ok() with a cast, call __chk_range_not_ok directly.

Fixes: a644cf538b11 ("x86/dumpstack: Don't dump kernel memory based on usermode RIP")
