This implements arch_within_stack_frames() for MIPS that validates if an

With CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY enabled, MIPS now passes the LKDTM tests
USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO, USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM and
USERCOPY_STACK_BEYOND on a Creator Ci40.
Since the MIPS kernel does not use frame pointers, we re-use the MIPS
kernels stack frame unwinder which uses instruction inspection to deduce
the stack frame size. As such it introduces a larger performance penalty
than on arches which use the frame pointer.
Hmm, given x86's plans to drop the frame pointer, I wonder if the
inter-frame checking code should be gated by a CONFIG. This (3%) is a
rather high performance hit to take for a relatively small protection
(it's mainly about catching too-large-reads, since most
too-large-writes will be caught by the stack canary).
What do you think?
If x86 is going to move to a more expensive stack unwinding method than
the frame pointer then I guess it may end up seeing a similar
performance hit to what we see on MIPS. In that case it might make sense
to add a CONFIG for this such that only those who wish to make the trade
off of performance for the added protection need enable it.
Thanks,
Matt

This indicates an additional 3% overhead for inspecting the kernel stack
when CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY is enabled.
This patch is based on Linux v4.13-rc4, and for correct operation on
microMIPS depends on my series "MIPS: Further microMIPS stack unwinding
fixes"
