The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see commit 7f818906: "x86: don't use 'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy about virtual address checking. So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual addresses: - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space. - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more obvious when it transforms a file offset into a (kernel-half) virtual address. - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX. This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this. So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'. Namely by just checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the rest. That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we didn't, we'd have the address space hole).

The asm constraints for the strncpy_from_user() result were missing an early clobber, which tells gcc that the last output arguments are written before all input arguments are read.

Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> [ since this API is rarely used and no in-kernel user relies on a 'len' return value (they only rely on negative return values) this miscompile was never noticed in the field.

copy_to/from_user and all its variants (except the atomic ones) can take a page fault and perform non-trivial work like taking mmap_sem and entering the filesyste/pagecache. Unfortunately, this often escapes lockdep because a common pattern is to use it to read in some arguments just set up from userspace, or write data back to a hot buffer. In those cases, it will be unlikely for page reclaim to get a window in to cause copy_*_user to fault. With the new might_lock primitives, add some annotations to x86. I don't know if I caught all possible faulting points (it's a bit of a maze, and I didn't really look at 32-bit). But this is a starting point. Boots and runs OK so far.

movsl_mask is currently defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c, which contains code specific to Intel CPUs. However, movsl_mask is used in the non-CPU specific code in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c, which breaks the compilation when support for Intel CPUs is compiled out. This patch solves this problem by moving movsl_mask's definition close to its users in arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c.
