[RFC PATCH for 4.18 1/5] rseq: use __u64 for rseq_cs fields, validate user inputs

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Thu Jul 05 2018 - 14:06:21 EST


Change the rseq ABI so rseq_cs start_ip, post_commit_offset and abort_ip
fields are seen as 64-bit fields by both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels rather
that ignoring the 32 upper bits on 32-bit kernels. This ensures we have a
consistent behavior for a 32-bit binary executed on 32-bit kernels and in
compat mode on 64-bit kernels.

Validating the value of abort_ip field to be below TASK_SIZE ensures the
kernel don't return to an invalid address when returning to userspace
after an abort. I don't fully trust each architecture code to consistently
deal with invalid return addresses.

Validating the value of the start_ip and post_commit_offset fields
prevents overflow on arithmetic performed on those values, used to
check whether abort_ip is within the rseq critical section.

If validation fails, the process is killed with a segmentation fault.

When the signature encountered before abort_ip does not match the expected
signature, return -EINVAL rather than -EPERM to be consistent with other
input validation return codes from rseq_get_rseq_cs().
