If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Peter Zijlstra commit 6e15eb3ba6c0249c9e8c783517d131b47db995ca upstream. The LBR 'from' adddress is under full userspace control; ensure we validate it before reading from it. Note: is_module_text_address() can potentially be quite expensive; for those running into that with high overhead in modules optimize it using an RCU backed rb-tree.
