usercopy: Avoid HIGHMEM pfn warning
commit 314eed3 upstream. When running on a system with >512MB RAM with a 32-bit kernel built with: CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY=y all execve()s will fail due to argv copying into kmap()ed pages, and on usercopy checking the calls ultimately of virt_to_page() will be looking for "bad" kmap (highmem) pointers due to CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at ../arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:83! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.3.0-rc8 khadas#6 Hardware name: Dell Inc. Inspiron 1318/0C236D, BIOS A04 01/15/2009 EIP: __phys_addr+0xaf/0x100 ... Call Trace: __check_object_size+0xaf/0x3c0 ? __might_sleep+0x80/0xa0 copy_strings+0x1c2/0x370 copy_strings_kernel+0x2b/0x40 __do_execve_file+0x4ca/0x810 ? kmem_cache_alloc+0x1c7/0x370 do_execve+0x1b/0x20 ... The check is from arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c: VIRTUAL_BUG_ON((phys_addr >> PAGE_SHIFT) > max_low_pfn); Due to the kmap() in fs/exec.c: kaddr = kmap(kmapped_page); ... if (copy_from_user(kaddr+offset, str, bytes_to_copy)) ... Now we can fetch the correct page to avoid the pfn check. In both cases, hardened usercopy will need to walk the page-span checker (if enabled) to do sanity checking.
