Re: arm64: copy_from_user access the last page of ddr has problem on 4.14 kernel

hi, Will
it is hard to try on v5.0-rc2 kernel, since there is much port
job to be done.
dst kernel buffer is looks overwriten by some same(fix) patter
start with "mmap" (0x6d6d7061) see below code (data from vmalloc),
and file is mmaped (include the last phy page of ddr.)
see below pattern and pieces of code.
not sure if there is boundary issue for copy_from_user, please
help to suggest if you got some idea from the pattern, thanks.
