Subject: [PATCH 17/23] dcache: define usercopy region in dentry_cache slab cache
From: David Windsor <dave@...lcore.net>
When a dentry name is short enough, it can be stored directly in
the dentry itself. These dentry short names, stored in struct
dentry.d_iname and therefore contained in the dentry_cache slab cache,
need to be coped to/from userspace.
In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in
the dentry_cache 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.
