[PATCH 1/2] Check if start address is in vma region in NOMMU function get_user_pages().

[David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>]

From: Sonic Zhang <sonic.adi@gmail.com>

Hi,

In NOMMU arch, if run "cat /proc/self/mem", data from physical address
0 are read. This behavior is different from MMU arch.  In IA32,
message "cat: /proc/self/mem: Input/output error" is reported.

This issue is rootcaused by not validate the start address in NOMMU
function get_user_pages(). Following patch solves this issue.

Thanks

Sonic Zhang
