powerpc/64s: Implement KUAP for Radix MMU
Kernel Userspace Access Prevention utilises a feature of the Radix MMU
which disallows read and write access to userspace addresses. By
utilising this, the kernel is prevented from accessing user data from
outside of trusted paths that perform proper safety checks, such as
copy_{to/from}_user() and friends.
Userspace access is disabled from early boot and is only enabled when
performing an operation like copy_{to/from}_user(). The register that
controls this (AMR) does not prevent userspace from accessing itself,
so there is no need to save and restore when entering and exiting
userspace.
When entering the kernel from the kernel we save AMR and if it is not
blocking user access (because eg. we faulted doing a user access) we
reblock user access for the duration of the exception (ie. the page
fault) and then restore the AMR when returning back to the kernel.
This feature can be tested by using the lkdtm driver (CONFIG_LKDTM=y)
and performing the following:
# (echo ACCESS_USERSPACE) > [debugfs]/provoke-crash/DIRECT
If enabled, this should send SIGSEGV to the thread.
We also add paranoid checking of AMR in switch and syscall return
under CONFIG_PPC_KUAP_DEBUG.
