Re: [PATCH v3 02/11] mm: Hardened usercopy

This is the start of porting PAX_USERCOPY into the mainline kernel. This
is the first set of features, controlled by CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY. The
work is based on code by PaX Team and Brad Spengler, and an earlier port
from Casey Schaufler. Additional non-slab page tests are from Rik van Riel.

This patch contains the logic for validating several conditions when
performing copy_to_user() and copy_from_user() on the kernel object
being copied to/from:
- address range doesn't wrap around
- address range isn't NULL or zero-allocated (with a non-zero copy size)
- if on the slab allocator:
- object size must be less than or equal to copy size (when check is
implemented in the allocator, which appear in subsequent patches)
- otherwise, object must not span page allocations
- if on the stack
- object must not extend before/after the current process task
- object must be contained by the current stack frame (when there is
arch/build support for identifying stack frames)
- object must not overlap with kernel text

This doesn't work when copying CMA allocated memory since CMA purposely
allocates larger than a page block size without setting head pages.
Given CMA may be used with drivers doing zero copy buffers, I think it
should be permitted.

Something like the following lets it pass (I can clean up and submit
the is_migrate_cma_page APIs as a separate patch for review)
