    orangefs: Define usercopy region in orangefs_inode_cache slab cache · 6b330623
    David Windsor 提交于
    orangefs symlink pathnames, stored in struct orangefs_inode_s.link_target
    and therefore contained in the orangefs_inode_cache, need to be copied
    to/from userspace.
    
    cache object allocation:
        fs/orangefs/super.c:
            orangefs_alloc_inode(...):
                ...
                orangefs_inode = kmem_cache_alloc(orangefs_inode_cache, ...);
                ...
                return &orangefs_inode->vfs_inode;
    
        fs/orangefs/orangefs-utils.c:
            exofs_symlink(...):
                ...
                inode->i_link = orangefs_inode->link_target;
    
    example usage trace:
        readlink_copy+0x43/0x70
        vfs_readlink+0x62/0x110
        SyS_readlinkat+0x100/0x130
    
        fs/namei.c:
            readlink_copy(..., link):
                ...
                copy_to_user(..., link, len);
    
            (inlined in vfs_readlink)
            generic_readlink(dentry, ...):
                struct inode *inode = d_inode(dentry);
                const char *link = inode->i_link;
                ...
                readlink_copy(..., link);
    
    In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the
    orangefs_inode_cache slab cache in which userspace copy operations are
    allowed.
    
    This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches
    can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving
    cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region.
    
    This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY
    whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my
    understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are
    mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
