[RFC PATCH 1/2] uaccess: Add mechanism for key checked access to user memory

From: Janis Schoetterl-Glausch
Date: Wed Jan 26 2022 - 12:34:13 EST


KVM on s390 needs a mechanism to do accesses to guest memory
that honors storage key protection.

On s390 each physical page is associated with 4 access control bits.
On access, these are compared with an access key, which is either
provided by the instruction or taken from the CPU state.
Based on that comparison, the access either succeeds or is prevented.

KVM on s390 needs to be able emulate this behavior, for example during
instruction emulation, when it makes accesses on behalf of the guest.
Introduce ...copy_{from,to}_user_key functions KVM can use to achieve
this. These differ from their non key counterparts by having an
additional key argument, and delegating to raw_copy_from/to_user_key
instead of raw_copy_{from,to}_user. Otherwise they are the same.
If they were to be maintained in architecture specific code they would
be prone to going out of sync with their non key counterparts.
To prevent this, add them to include/linux/uaccess.h.
In order to allow use of ...copy_{from,to}_user_key from common code,
the key argument is ignored on architectures that do not provide
raw_copy_{from,to}_user_key and the functions become functionally
identical to ...copy_{from,to}_user.
