[PATCH v7 2/4] x86/traps: Print address on #GP

[Jann Horn]

A frequent cause of #GP exceptions are memory accesses to non-canonical
addresses. Unlike #PF, #GP doesn't come with a fault address in CR2, so
the kernel doesn't currently print the fault address for #GP.
Luckily, we already have the necessary infrastructure for decoding X86
instructions and computing the memory address that is being accessed;
hook it up to the #GP handler so that we can figure out the address
operand of the faulting instruction and print it.

Distinguish two cases:
  a) (Part of) the memory range being accessed lies in the non-canonical
     address range; in this case, is is likely that the address we
     decoded is actually the one that caused the #GP.
  b) The entire memory range of the operand we decoded lies in canonical
     address space; the #GP may or may not be related in some way to the
     address we computed. We'll still print it, but with hedging
     language in the message.

While it is already possible to compute the faulting address manually by
disassembling the opcode dump and evaluating the instruction against the
register dump, this should make it slightly easier to identify crashes
at a glance.

Note that the operand length, which we get from the instruction decoder
and use to determine whether the access straddles into non-canonical
address space, is currently somewhat unreliable; but it should be good
enough, considering that Linux on x86-64 never maps the page directly
before the start of the non-canonical range anyway, and therefore the
case where a memory range begins in that page and potentially straddles
into the non-canonical range should be fairly uncommon.
And if we do get this wrong, it only influences whether the error
message claims that the access is canonical.

Notes:
    v2:
     - print different message for segment-related GP (Borislav)
     - rewrite check for non-canonical address (Sean)
     - make it clear we don't know for sure why the GP happened (Andy)
    v3:
     - change message format to one line (Borislav)
    v4:
     - rename insn_bytes to insn_buf (Ingo)
     - add space after GPFSTR (Ingo)
     - make sizeof(desc) clearer (Ingo, Borislav)
     - also print the address (with a different message) if it's canonical (Ingo)
    v5:
     - reword comment on get_kernel_gp_address() (Sean)
     - make get_kernel_gp_address() also work on 32-bit (Sean)
     - minor nits (Sean)
     - more hedging for canonical GP (Sean)
     - let get_kernel_gp_address() return an enum (Sean)
     - rewrite commit message
    v6:
     - add comma after GPFSTR (Sean)
     - reorder variable declarations (Sean)
    v7:
      no changes
    
    I have already sent a patch to syzkaller that relaxes their parsing of GPF
    messages (https://github.com/google/syzkaller/commit/432c7650) such that
    changes like the one in this patch don't break it.
    That patch has already made its way into syzbot's syzkaller instances
    according to <https://syzkaller.appspot.com/upstream>.
