metag/uaccess: Fix access_ok()
The __user_bad() macro used by access_ok() has a few corner cases noticed by Al Viro where it doesn't behave correctly: - The kernel range check has off by 1 errors which permit access to the first and last byte of the kernel mapped range. - The kernel range check ends at LINCORE_BASE rather than META_MEMORY_LIMIT, which is ineffective when the kernel is in global space (an extremely uncommon configuration). There are a couple of other shortcomings here too: - Access to the whole of the other address space is permitted (i.e. the global half of the address space when the kernel is in local space). This isn't ideal as it could theoretically still contain privileged mappings set up by the bootloader. - The size argument is unused, permitting user copies which start on valid pages at the end of the user address range and cross the boundary into the kernel address space (e.g. addr = 0x3ffffff0, size > 0x10). It isn't very convenient to add size checks when disallowing certain regions, and it seems far safer to be sure and explicit about what userland is able to access, so invert the logic to allow certain regions instead, and fix the off by 1 errors and missing size checks. This also allows the get_fs() == KERNEL_DS check to be more easily optimised into the user address range case. We now have 3 such allowed regions: - The user address range (incorporating the get_fs() == KERNEL_DS check). - NULL (some kernel code expects this to work, and we'll always catch the fault anyway). - The core code memory region.
