2019-11-02uaccess: Add strict non-pagefault kernel-space read functionDaniel Borkmann
Add two new probe_kernel_read_strict() and strncpy_from_unsafe_strict() helpers which by default alias to the __probe_kernel_read() and the __strncpy_from_unsafe(), respectively, but can be overridden by archs which have non-overlapping address ranges for kernel space and user space in order to bail out with -EFAULT when attempting to probe user memory including non-canonical user access addresses [0]: 4-level page tables: user-space mem: 0x0000000000000000 - 0x00007fffffffffff non-canonical: 0x0000800000000000 - 0xffff7fffffffffff 5-level page tables: user-space mem: 0x0000000000000000 - 0x00ffffffffffffff non-canonical: 0x0100000000000000 - 0xfeffffffffffffff The idea is that these helpers are complementary to the probe_user_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe_user() which probe user-only memory. Both added helpers here do the same, but for kernel-only addresses. Both set of helpers are going to be used for BPF tracing. They also explicitly avoid throwing the splat for non-canonical user addresses from 00c42373d397 ("x86-64: add warning for non-canonical user access address dereferences"). For compat, the current probe_kernel_read() and strncpy_from_unsafe() are left as-is.
