One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether
an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping
the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive
bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object
crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too
heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack
check.
The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM
try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is
working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was
expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1],
he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when
exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything
except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at
least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the
stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer
should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no
longer present on the stack).
Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures
have actually implemented the common global register alias.
Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset
from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures.
The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests
(once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.
