[PATCH v3 30/31] usercopy: Restrict non-usercopy caches to size 0

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2017-09-20 20:45:36
Also in: linux-fsdevel, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: memory management, slab allocator, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Vlastimil Babka, Harry Yoo, Linus Torvalds

With all known usercopied cache whitelists now defined in the
kernel, switch the default usercopy region of kmem_cache_create()
to size 0. Any new caches with usercopy regions will now need to use
kmem_cache_create_usercopy() instead of kmem_cache_create().

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.
