Under PAN emulation when dumping backtraces from things like the LKDTM EXEC_USERSPACE test[1], a double fault (which would hang a CPU) would happen because of dump_instr() attempting to read a userspace address. Make sure copy_from_kernel_nofault() does not attempt this any more.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
