Thomas Weißschuh 3bd6137220 selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: avoid reading from VM_IO mappings 
The virtual_address_range selftest reads from the start of each mapping
listed in /proc/self/maps.  However not all mappings are valid to be
arbitrarily accessed.

For example the vvar data used for virtual clocks on x86 [vvar_vclock] can
only be accessed if 1) the kernel configuration enables virtual clocks and
2) the hypervisor provided the data for it.  Only the VDSO itself has the
necessary information to know this.  Since commit e93d2521b2 ("x86/vdso:
Split virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping") the virtual clock data
was split out into its own mapping, leading to EFAULT from read() during
the validation.

Check for the VM_IO flag as a proxy.  It is present for the VVAR mappings
and MMIO ranges can be dangerous to access arbitrarily.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
