The check_object_size() helper under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is designed to skip any checks where the length is known at compile time as a reasonable heuristic to avoid "likely known-good" cases. However, it can only do this when the copy_*_user() helpers are, themselves, inline too.
Using find_vmap_area() requires taking a spinlock. The check_object_size() helper can call find_vmap_area() when the destination is in vmap memory. If show_regs() is called in interrupt context, it will attempt a call to copy_from_user_nmi(), which may call check_object_size() and then find_vmap_area(). If something in normal context happens to be in the middle of calling find_vmap_area() (with the spinlock held), the interrupt handler will hang forever.
The copy_from_user_nmi() call is actually being called with a fixed-size length, so check_object_size() should never have been called in the first place. Given the narrow constraints, just replace the __copy_from_user_inatomic() call with an open-coded version that calls only into the sanitizers and not check_object_size(), followed by a call to raw_copy_from_user().
