Subject: [PATCH] parisc: Check region is readable by user in
 raw_copy_from_user()

Because of the way the _PAGE_READ is handled in the parisc PTE, an
access interruption is not generated when the kernel reads from a
region where the _PAGE_READ is zero. The current code was written
assuming read access faults would also occur in the kernel.

This change adds user access checks to raw_copy_from_user().  The
prober_user() define checks whether user code has read access to
a virtual address. Note that page faults are not handled in the
exception support for the probe instruction. For this reason, we
precede the probe by a ldb access check.
