The patching page set up as a writable alias may be in quadrant 0 (userspace) if the temporary mm path is used. This causes sanitiser failures if so. Sanitiser failures also occur on the non-mm path because the plain memset family is instrumented, and KASAN treats the patching window as poisoned. Introduce locally defined patch_* variants of memset that perform an uninstrumented lower level set, as well as detecting write errors like the original single patch variant does. copy_to_user() is not correct here, as the PTE makes it a proper kernel page (the EAA is privileged access only, RW). It just happens to be in quadrant 0 because that's the hardware's mechanism for using the current PID vs PID 0 in translations. Importantly, it's incorrect to allow user page accesses. Now that the patching memsets are used, we also propagate a failure up to the caller as the single patch variant does.

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.
