[PATCH 2/7] test_user_copy: Check unchecked accessors

From: James Hogan
Date: Wed Aug 05 2015 - 11:49:35 EST


Currently the test_user_copy module only tests the user accessors which
already check the address with access_ok(). Corresponding unchecked
accessors exist however which may be used after access_ok() is checked.
Since the addresses the test uses are known to be valid kernel
addresses, test these unchecked accessors too, as well as access_ok()
itself.

For legitimate user accesses we test the corresponding unchecked macros.
They should all work just as well as the checking versions.

Similarly, for legitimate kernel accesses the unchecked macros are
expected to succeed, and access kernel rather than user memory.

For invalid user accesses we only test the corresponding unchecked
macros in configurations where the behaviour is both known and
important to verify the implementation. Currently this is only enabled
for MIPS with Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) enabled, where user
accesses MUST use the EVA loads/stores, which can only access valid user
mode memory anyway.

New tests:
- legitimate access_ok VERIFY_READ
- legitimate access_ok VERIFY_WRITE
- legitimate __copy_from_user
- legitimate __copy_to_user
- legitimate __get_user
- legitimate __put_user
- illegal all-kernel __copy_from_user
- illegal reversed __copy_from_user
- illegal all-kernel __copy_to_user
- illegal reversed __copy_to_user
- illegal __get_user
- illegal __put_user
- legitimate kernel access_ok VERIFY_READ
- legitimate kernel access_ok VERIFY_WRITE
- legitimate all-kernel __copy_from_user
- legitimate all-kernel __copy_to_user
- legitimate kernel __get_user
- legitimate kernel __put_user
