mm/core: Do not enforce PKEY permissions on remote mm access
We try to enforce protection keys in software the same way that we do in hardware. (See long example below). But, we only want to do this when accessing our *own* process's memory. If GDB set PKRU[6].AD=1 (disable access to PKEY 6), then tried to PTRACE_POKE a target process which just happened to have some mprotect_pkey(pkey=6) memory, we do *not* want to deny the debugger access to that memory. PKRU is fundamentally a thread-local structure and we do not want to enforce it on access to _another_ thread's data. This gets especially tricky when we have workqueues or other delayed-work mechanisms that might run in a random process's context. We can check that we only enforce pkeys when operating on our *own* mm, but delayed work gets performed when a random user context is active. We might end up with a situation where a delayed-work gup fails when running randomly under its "own" task but succeeds when running under another process. We want to avoid that. To avoid that, we use the new GUP flag: FOLL_REMOTE and add a fault flag: FAULT_FLAG_REMOTE. They indicate that we are walking an mm which is not guranteed to be the same as current->mm and should not be subject to protection key enforcement. Thanks to Jerome Glisse for pointing out this scenario.
