Subject: [PATCH 02/23] usercopy: Enforce slab cache usercopy region boundaries

From: David Windsor <dave@...lcore.net>

This patch adds the enforcement component of usercopy cache whitelisting,
and 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.

The SLAB and SLUB allocators are modified to deny all copy operations
in which the kernel heap memory being modified falls outside of the cache's
defined usercopy region.
