Currently, we may perform a copy_to_user (through
simple_read_from_buffer()) while holding a context's register_lock,
while accessing the context save area.
This change uses a temporary buffer for the context save area data,
which we then pass to simple_read_from_buffer.
Includes changes from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>.

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.
