From 6c0c21adc742a255f0203ef76ef0ed6c8c3b0630 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Windsor Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2017 22:50:47 -0400 Subject: usercopy: Mark kmalloc caches as usercopy caches Mark the kmalloc slab caches as entirely whitelisted. These caches are frequently used to fulfill kernel allocations that contain data to be copied to/from userspace. Internal-only uses are also common, but are scattered in the kernel. For now, mark all the kmalloc caches as whitelisted. 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.
