  is there method for doing this work? take kernel data to user?

I think copy_to_user is what you are looking for:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/asm-generic/uaccess.h#L253

thanks !

can this function run at user level ?

when programme is   at user level , can  I use this function to get kernel text segment data ,and then analysis it ?

no you can't. Userspace programs can only access the kernel trough a 
systemcall, otherwise userspace could read memory from other programs 
which would be dangerous (think of passwords etc).

If you want to read certain parts of kernel memory from userspace, you 
need a kernel module which uses copy_to_user, for example a character 
driver using the read or ioctl function to call copy_to_user.

The userspace then would use that character device to invoke systemcalls.

Please refer to http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ about device driver 
programing. Although the book is outdated it is a perfect point to start 
understanding the concepts.

Best regards,
Matthias
