bpf ppc64: Access only if addr is kernel address
On PPC64 with KUAP enabled, any kernel code which wants to access userspace needs to be surrounded by disable-enable KUAP. But that is not happening for BPF_PROBE_MEM load instruction. So, when BPF program tries to access invalid userspace address, page-fault handler considers it as bad KUAP fault: Kernel attempted to read user page (d0000000) - exploit attempt? (uid: 0) Considering the fact that PTR_TO_BTF_ID (which uses BPF_PROBE_MEM mode) could either be a valid kernel pointer or NULL but should never be a pointer to userspace address, execute BPF_PROBE_MEM load only if addr is kernel address, otherwise set dst_reg=0 and move on. This will catch NULL, valid or invalid userspace pointers. Only bad kernel pointer will be handled by BPF exception table.
