[PATCHv16 01/17] x86/mm: Rework address range check in get_user() and put_user()

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Sun Mar 12 2023 - 07:26:35 EST


The functions get_user() and put_user() check that the target address
range resides in the user space portion of the virtual address space.
In order to perform this check, the functions compare the end of the
range against TASK_SIZE_MAX.

For kernels compiled with CONFIG_X86_5LEVEL, this process requires some
additional trickery using ALTERNATIVE, as TASK_SIZE_MAX depends on the
paging mode in use.

Linus suggested that this check could be simplified for 64-bit kernels.
It is sufficient to check bit 63 of the address to ensure that the range
belongs to user space. Additionally, the use of branches can be avoided
by setting the target address to all ones if bit 63 is set.

There's no need to check the end of the access range as there's huge
gap between end of userspace range and start of the kernel range. The
gap consists of canonical hole and unused ranges on both kernel and
userspace sides.

If an address with bit 63 set is passed down, it will trigger a #GP
exception. _ASM_EXTABLE_UA() complains about this. Replace it with
plain _ASM_EXTABLE() as it is expected behaviour now.

The updated get_user() and put_user() checks are also compatible with
Linear Address Masking, which allows user space to encode metadata in
the upper bits of pointers and eliminates the need to untag the address
before handling it.
