Subject: [RFC v1] implement SL*B and stack usercopy runtime checks

This patch implements 2 additional checks for the data copied from
kernelspace to userspace and vice versa.  Currently there are some
very simple and cheap comparisons of supplied size and the size of
a copied object known at the compile time in copy_* functions.  This
patch enhances these checks to check against stack frame boundaries and
against SL*B object sizes.

More precisely, it checks:

1) if the data touches the stack, checks whether it fully fits in the stack
and whether it fully fits in a single stack frame.  The latter is arch
dependent, currently it is implemented for x86 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y only.
It limits infoleaks/overwrites to a single frame and arguments/local
variables only, and prevents saved return instruction pointer
overwriting.

2) if the data is from the SL*B cache, checks whether it fully fits in a
slab page and whether it overflows a slab object.  E.g. if the memory
was allocated as kmalloc(64, GFP_KERNEL) and one tries to copy 150
bytes, the copy would fail.


The checks are implemented for copy_{to,from}_user() and similar and are
missing for {put,get}_user() and similar because the base pointer might
be a result of any pointer arithmetics, and the correctness of these
arithmetics is almost impossible to check on this stage.

/dev/kmem and /dev/mem are fixed to pass this check (e.g. without
STRICT_DEVMEM it should be possible to overflow the stack frame and slab
objects).


The limitations:

The stack check does nothing with local variables overwriting and 
saved registers.  It only limits overflows to a single frame.

The SL*B checks don't validate whether the object is actually allocated.
So, it doesn't prevent infoleaks related to the freed objects.  Also if
the cache's granularity is larger than an actual allocated object size,
an infoleak of padding bytes is possible.

The slob check is missing yet.  Unfortunately, the check for slob
would have to (1) walk through the slob chunks and (2) hold the slob
lock, so it would lead to a significant slowdown.

The patch does nothing with other memory areas like vmalloc'ed areas,
modules' data and code sections, etc.  It could be an area for the
improvements.


The patch is a forwardport of the PAX_USERCOPY feature from the PaX
patch.  Most code was copied from the PaX patch with minor cosmetic
changes.  Also PaX' version of the patch has additional restrictions:

a) some slab caches has SLAB_USERCOPY flag set and copies to/from the slab
caches without the flag are denied.  Rare cases where some bytes needed
from the caches missing in the white list are handled by copying the
bytes into temporary area on the stack/heap.

b) if a malformed copy request is spotted, the event is logged and
SIGKILL signal is sent to the current task.


Questions/thoughts:

1) Is it possible to leave these checks unconditionally?  Or maybe
guarded by DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS or a new configure option?

2) Should this code put in action some monitoring/reacting mechanisms?
It makes sense to at least log the event because such overflow almost
surely is a result of a deliberate kernel bug exploitation attempt.
Whether active reactions on the event like killing is needed by default
is less obvious.

3) Maybe *_access_ok() checks should be moved to smth like
kernel_access_ok() for a more abstraction level and more comfortable
CONFIG_* guarding?  Then (2) and similar changes would be more simple.


If the patch will be ACK'ed by the maintainers, there will be separate
patches for the stack check, each of SL*Bs, x86, and /dev/*mem.  For
RFCv1 it is left as a one big blob.
