[ Upstream commit 303fd988ed ]
There is a confusion with regard to the source address of
memcpy_real() and calling functions. While the declared
type for a source assumes a virtual address, in fact it
always called with physical address of the source.
This confusion led to bugs in copy_oldmem_kernel() and
copy_oldmem_user() functions, where __pa() macro applied
mistakenly to physical addresses. It does not lead to a
real issue, since virtual and physical addresses are
currently the same.
Fix both the bugs and memcpy_real() prototype by making
type of source address consistent to the function name
and the way it actually used.

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.
