4.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutl...@arm.com>

commit c5cea06be060f38e5400d796e61cfc8c36e52924 upstream.

If the kernel is set to show unhandled signals, and a user task does not
handle a SIGILL as a result of an instruction abort, we will attempt to
log the offending instruction with dump_instr before killing the task.

We use dump_instr to log the encoding of the offending userspace
instruction. However, dump_instr is also used to dump instructions from
kernel space, and internally always switches to KERNEL_DS before dumping
the instruction with get_user. When both PAN and UAO are in use, reading
a user instruction via get_user while in KERNEL_DS will result in a
permission fault, which leads to an Oops.

As we have regs corresponding to the context of the original instruction
abort, we can inspect this and only flip to KERNEL_DS if the original
abort was taken from the kernel, avoiding this issue. At the same time,
remove the redundant (and incorrect) comments regarding the order
dump_mem and dump_instr are called in.
