[PATCH] x86, x86_64: Fix checks for userspace address limit

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
there seems to be bug in the _copy_to_user and _copy_from_user
functions, not allowing access to the last user page.

Also I tried to decipher the inline assembly in __range_not_ok,
and it seems to work properly, but the macro comment seems to
be misleading.

wbr,
jirka

As shown in BZ 30352 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30352)
there's an issue with reading last allowed page on x86_64.

The _copy_to_user and _copy_from_user functions use following
check for address limit:

if (buf + size >= limit)
	fail

while it should be:

if (buf + size > limit)
	fail

That's because the size represents the number of bytes being
read/write from/to buf address AND including the buf address.
So the copy function will actually never touch the limit
address even if "buf + size == limit".

Following program fails to use the last page as buffer
due to the wrong limit check.

---
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <assert.h>

#define PAGE_SIZE       (4096)
#define LAST_PAGE       ((void*)(0x7fffffffe000))

int main()
{
        int fds[2], err;
        void * ptr = mmap(LAST_PAGE, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                          MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);
        assert(ptr == LAST_PAGE);
        err = socketpair(AF_LOCAL, SOCK_STREAM, 0, fds);
        assert(err == 0);
        err = send(fds[0], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, 0);
        perror("send");
        assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
        err = recv(fds[1], ptr, PAGE_SIZE, MSG_WAITALL);
        perror("recv");
        assert(err == PAGE_SIZE);
        return 0;
}

Other place checking the addr limit is access_ok function,
which is working properly. There's just misleading comment
for the __range_not_ok macro.
