The ICMP filters for IPv4 and IPv6 raw sockets 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.
example usage trace:
net/ipv4/raw.c:
raw_seticmpfilter(...):
...
copy_from_user(&raw_sk(sk)->filter, ..., optlen)
raw_geticmpfilter(...):
...
copy_to_user(..., &raw_sk(sk)->filter, len)
net/ipv6/raw.c:
rawv6_seticmpfilter(...):
...
copy_from_user(&raw6_sk(sk)->filter, ..., optlen)
rawv6_geticmpfilter(...):
...
copy_to_user(..., &raw6_sk(sk)->filter, 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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
