>Description:
man 9 copystr says:

copystr()     Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
                   from kernel-space address kfaddr to kernel-space address
                   kdaddr.

I believe this is incorrect since the destination address is in user
space
>How-To-Repeat:
man 9 copystr
>Fix:
     Replace the mentioned piece with:

 copystr()     Copies a NUL-terminated string, at most len bytes long,
                   from kernel-space address kfaddr to user-space address
                   kdaddr.
