commit 56b88a3bf97a39d3f4f010509917b76a865a6dc8 upstream.

We have to exclude memory locations &lt;= PAGE_SIZE from
the condition and let the kernel mode fault path catch it.
Otherwise a kernel NULL pointer exception will be reported
as a kernel user space access.

Fixes: d2313084e2c (um: Catch unprotected user memory access)

Don't include ptrace uapi stuff in arch headers, it will
pollute the kernel namespace and conflict with existing
stuff.
In this case it fixes clashes with common names like R8.

tracehook_report_syscall_entry() is allowed to fail,
in case of failure we have to abort the current syscall.

If the kernel tries to access user memory without copy_from_user()
a trap will happen as kernel and userspace run in different processes
on the host side. Currently this special page fault cannot be resolved
and will happen over and over again. As result UML will lockup.
This patch allows the page fault code to detect that situation and
causes a panic() such that the root cause of the unprotected memory
access can be found and fixed.

syscall() is implemented in libc.so/a (e.g. for glibc, in "syscall.o"),
so for normal ".o" files, it is undefined, neither can be found within
kernel wide, so will break modpost.

Since ".o" files is OK, can simply export 'syscall' symbol, let modpost
know about that, then can fix this issue.

The related error (with allmodconfig under um):

    MODPOST 1205 modules
  ERROR: "syscall" [fs/hostfs/hostfs.ko] undefined!
