[PATCH] usercopy: Check valid lifetime via stack depth

From: Kees Cook
Date: Wed Feb 16 2022 - 15:14:56 EST


Under CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y, when exact stack frame boundary checking
is not available (i.e. everything except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), check
a stack object as being at least "current depth valid", in the sense
that any object within the stack region but not between start-of-stack
and current_stack_pointer should be considered unavailable (i.e. its
lifetime is from a call no longer present on the stack).

Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset
from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures.

The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests
(once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) will pass again with
this fixed.
