kdb: Fix the putarea helper function
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.110 commit e2a26253921920861f17fffcab1ec926807ad2ae bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I574AL Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=e2a26253921920861f17fffcab1ec926807ad2ae -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit c1cb8142 ] Currently kdb_putarea_size() uses copy_from_kernel_nofault() to write *to* arbitrary kernel memory. This is obviously wrong and means the memory modify ('mm') command is a serious risk to debugger stability: if we poke to a bad address we'll double-fault and lose our debug session. Fix this the (very) obvious way. Note that there are two Fixes: tags because the API was renamed and this patch will only trivially backport as far as the rename (and this is probably enough). Nevertheless Christoph's rename did not introduce this problem so I wanted to record that!
