This allows user memory to be written to during the course of a kprobe. It shouldn't be used to implement any kind of security mechanism because of TOC-TOU attacks, but rather to debug, divert, and manipulate execution of semi-cooperative processes. Although it uses probe_kernel_write, we limit the address space the probe can write into by checking the space with access_ok. We do this as opposed to calling copy_to_user directly, in order to avoid sleeping. In addition we ensure the threads's current fs / segment is USER_DS and the thread isn't exiting nor a kernel thread. Given this feature is meant for experiments, and it has a risk of crashing the system, and running programs, we print a warning on when a proglet that attempts to use this helper is installed, along with the pid and process name.
