Subject: [PATCH] x86: Enforce only whole copies for ssp_set()

The regset set interface takes pos and count arguments to allow for
partial copies. No callers use a non-zero pos, but ptrace allows for the
count to be specified. It limits count to be a multiple of regset size, so
this still allows for a zero size to be passed to ssp_set().

In ssp_set(), user_regset_copyin() returns success for copying zero bytes,
which means user_ssp can later be accessed uninitialized. So add
enforcement for this case. The other regset's also enforce pos == 0, so do
that as well even though there is no caller today.

In the case of partial copies, some regsets return -EINVAL and some
return -EFAULT. -EINVAL seems more appropriate, so use that error code.

Hi x86 maintainers,

While debugging this I wrote a shadow stack ptrace selftest that tries
a bunch of invalid values. I thought to save it for a future series
with selftests enhancements, unless you'd like to see it sooner.

Thanks,

Rick
