On plain ARMv8.0 devices (A53,A57,A73), strncpy_from_user_nofault() sometimes
fails to copy `filename_user` string correctly. This breaks su ofc, breaking
some apps like Termux (Play Store ver), ZArchiver and Root Explorer.
This does NOT seem to affect newer ARMv8.2+ CPUs (A75/A76 and newer)
My speculation? ARMv8.0 has weak speculation :)
here we replace `strncpy_from_user_nofault()` with another routine:
- access_ok() to validate the pointer
- strncpy_from_user() to copy and validate string
- manual null-termination just in case, as strncpy_from_user_nofault also does it
- remove that memset, seems useless as it is an strncpy, not strncat
Kind of mimicking _nofault, but yes with this one we allow pagefaults.
Tested on:
- ARMv8.0 A73.a53, A57.a53, A53.a53
- ARMv8.2 A76.a55
