sctp: Define usercopy region in SCTP proto slab cache
The SCTP socket event notification subscription information need to be copied to/from userspace. In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the struct proto slab cache in which userspace copy operations are allowed. Additionally moves the usercopy fields to be adjacent for the region to cover both. example usage trace: net/sctp/socket.c: sctp_getsockopt_events(...): ... copy_to_user(..., &sctp_sk(sk)->subscribe, len) sctp_setsockopt_events(...): ... copy_from_user(&sctp_sk(sk)->subscribe, ..., optlen) sctp_getsockopt_initmsg(...): ... copy_to_user(..., &sctp_sk(sk)->initmsg, len) This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches can now check that each dynamically sized 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.
