Subject: [PATCH 4.2 061/124] x86/mpx: Do proper get_user() when running 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>

commit 46561c3959d6307d22139c24cd0bf196162e5681 upstream.

When you call get_user(foo, bar), you effectively do a

	copy_from_user(&foo, bar, sizeof(*bar));

Note that the sizeof() is implicit.

When we reach out to userspace to try to zap an entire "bounds
table" we need to go read a "bounds directory entry" in order to
locate the table's address.  The size of a "directory entry"
depends on the binary being run and is always the size of a
pointer.

But, when we have a 64-bit kernel and a 32-bit application, the
directory entry is still only 32-bits long, but we fetch it with
a 64-bit pointer which makes get_user() does a 64-bit fetch.
Reading 4 extra bytes isn't harmful, unless we are at the end of
and run off the table.  It might also cause the zero page to get
faulted in unnecessarily even if you are not at the end.

Fix it up by doing a special 32-bit get_user() via a cast when
we have 32-bit userspace.
