Linux kernel source tree

dump_user_range() is used to copy the user page to a coredump file, but if a hardware memory error occurred during copy, which called from __kernel_write_iter() in dump_user_range(), it crashes, CPU: 112 PID: 7014 Comm: mca-recover Not tainted 6.3.0-rc2 #425 pc : __memcpy+0x110/0x260 lr : _copy_from_iter+0x3bc/0x4c8 ... Call trace: __memcpy+0x110/0x260 copy_page_from_iter+0xcc/0x130 pipe_write+0x164/0x6d8 __kernel_write_iter+0x9c/0x210 dump_user_range+0xc8/0x1d8 elf_core_dump+0x308/0x368 do_coredump+0x2e8/0xa40 get_signal+0x59c/0x788 do_signal+0x118/0x1f8 do_notify_resume+0xf0/0x280 el0_da+0x130/0x138 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x68/0xc0 el0t_64_sync+0x188/0x190 Generally, the '->write_iter' of file ops will use copy_page_from_iter() and copy_page_from_iter_atomic(), change memcpy() to copy_mc_to_kernel() in both of them to handle #MC during source read, which stop coredump processing and kill the task instead of kernel panic, but the source address may not always a user address, so introduce a new copy_mc flag in struct iov_iter{} to indicate that the iter could do a safe memory copy, also introduce the helpers to set/cleck the flag, for now, it's only used in coredump's dump_user_range(), but it could expand to any other scenarios to fix the similar issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
