/dev/mem: Add bounce buffer for copy-out
As done for /proc/kcore in commit df04abfd181a ("fs/proc/kcore.c: Add bounce buffer for ktext data") this adds a bounce buffer when reading memory via /dev/mem. This is needed to allow kernel text memory to be read out when built with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY (which refuses to read out kernel text) and without CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM (which would have refused to read any RAM contents at all). Since this build configuration isn't common (most systems with CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY also have CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM), this also tries to inform Kconfig about the recommended settings. This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's changes to /dev/mem code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
