lib/libkvm kvm.c
Log:
Temporarily work around a race in the kernel. The kernel does a sanity check
on the KVM memory range read via /dev/[k]mem. However, if the user buffer
takes a VM fault and blocks the process, the related kernel memory could
become invalid while the process was blocked. Try to avoid taking faults on
the user buffer by touching it first.
