[patch 3/3] [PATCH] prctl: Add PR_SET_MM codes to set up mm_struct entires v3

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Mon Dec 12 2011 - 15:17:39 EST

When we restore a task we need to set up text, data and data
heap sizes from userspace to the values a task had at
checkpoint time. This patch adds auxilary prctl codes for that.

While most of them have a statistical nature (their values
are involved into calculation of /proc/<pid>/statm output)
the start_brk and brk values are used to compute an allowed
size of program data segment expansion. Which means an arbitrary
changes of this values might be dangerous operation. So to restrict
access the following requirements applied to prctl calls:

- The process has to have CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability granted.
- For all opcodes except start_brk/brk members an appropriate
VMA area must exist and should fit certain VMA flags,
such as:
- code segment must be executable but not writable;
- data segment must not be executable.

start_brk/brk values must not intersect with data segment
and must not exceed RLIMIT_DATA resource limit.

Still the main guard is CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability check.

Note the kernel should be compiled with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
support otherwise these prctl calls will return -EINVAL.

v2:
- Add a check for vma start address, testing for vma ending
address is not enough. From Kees Cook.
- Add some sanity tests for assigned addresses.
v3:
- Make code CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE dependant.
- Drop get_task_mm call since "current" is known
to be running and we have control over it (from
Andrew Morton).
