Bodo Stroesser 81efcd3300 [PATCH] uml: more carefully test whether we are in a system call
For security reasons, UML in is_syscall() needs to have access to code in
vsyscall-page.  The current implementation grants this access by explicitly
allowing access to vsyscall in access_ok_skas().  With this change,
copy_from_user() may be used to read the code.  Ptrace access to vsyscall-page
for debugging already was implemented in get_user_pages() by mainline.  In
i386, copy_from_user can't access vsyscall-page, but returns EFAULT.

To make UML behave as i386 does, I changed is_syscall to use
access_process_vm(current) to read the code from vsyscall-page.  This doesn't
hurt security, but simplifies the code and prepares implementation of
stub-vmas.
