Martin Schwidefsky	52149ba6b0	[S390] user readable uninitialised kernel memory. A user space program can read uninitialised kernel memory by appending to a file from a bad address and then reading the result back. The cause is the copy_from_user function that does not clear the remaining bytes of the kernel buffer after it got a fault on the user space address.

[S390] user readable uninitialised kernel memory.

A user space program can read uninitialised kernel memory
by appending to a file from a bad address and then reading
the result back. The cause is the copy_from_user function
that does not clear the remaining bytes of the kernel
buffer after it got a fault on the user space address.

This introduces new user-copy operations which are optimized for
copying more than 256 Bytes on new hardware.
