[PATCH v2 15/30] xfs: Define usercopy region in xfs_inode slab cache

From: Kees Cook

From: David Windsor <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The XFS inline inode data, stored in struct xfs_inode_t field
i_df.if_u2.if_inline_data and therefore contained in the xfs_inode slab
cache, needs to be copied to/from userspace.

cache object allocation:
fs/xfs/xfs_icache.c:
xfs_inode_alloc(...):
...
ip = kmem_zone_alloc(xfs_inode_zone, KM_SLEEP);

fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_inode_fork.c:
xfs_init_local_fork(...):
...
if (mem_size <= sizeof(ifp->if_u2.if_inline_data))
ifp->if_u1.if_data = ifp->if_u2.if_inline_data;
...

fs/xfs/xfs_symlink.c:
xfs_symlink(...):
...
xfs_init_local_fork(ip, XFS_DATA_FORK, target_path, pathlen);

example usage trace:
readlink_copy+0x43/0x70
vfs_readlink+0x62/0x110
SyS_readlinkat+0x100/0x130

fs/xfs/xfs_iops.c:
(via inode->i_op->get_link)
xfs_vn_get_link_inline(...):
...
return XFS_I(inode)->i_df.if_u1.if_data;

fs/namei.c:
readlink_copy(..., link):
...
copy_to_user(..., link, len);

generic_readlink(dentry, ...):
struct inode *inode = d_inode(dentry);
const char *link = inode->i_link;
...
if (!link) {
link = inode->i_op->get_link(dentry, inode, &done);
...
readlink_copy(..., link);

In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
xfs_inode slab cache in which userspace copy operations are allowed.

This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches can
now check that each copy operation involving cache-managed memory falls
entirely within the slab's usercopy region.

This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
