dcache: Define usercopy region in dentry_cache slab cache
When a dentry name is short enough, it can be stored directly in the dentry itself (instead in a separate kmalloc allocation). These dentry short names, stored in struct dentry.d_iname and therefore contained in the dentry_cache slab cache, need to be coped to userspace. cache object allocation: fs/dcache.c: __d_alloc(...): ... dentry = kmem_cache_alloc(dentry_cache, ...); ... dentry->d_name.name = dentry->d_iname; example usage trace: filldir+0xb0/0x140 dcache_readdir+0x82/0x170 iterate_dir+0x142/0x1b0 SyS_getdents+0xb5/0x160 fs/readdir.c: (called via ctx.actor by dir_emit) filldir(..., const char *name, ...): ... copy_to_user(..., name, namlen) fs/libfs.c: dcache_readdir(...): ... next = next_positive(dentry, p, 1) ... dir_emit(..., next->d_name.name, ...) In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the dentry_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 dynamic 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.
