From 3e2a4c183ace8708c69f589505fb82bb63010ade Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2014 15:54:38 -0800 Subject: test: check copy_to/from_user boundary validation To help avoid an architecture failing to correctly check kernel/user boundaries when handling copy_to_user, copy_from_user, put_user, or get_user, perform some simple tests and fail to load if any of them behave unexpectedly. Specifically, this is to make sure there is a way to notice if things like what was fixed in commit 8404663f81d2 ("ARM: 7527/1: uaccess: explicitly check __user pointer when !CPU_USE_DOMAINS") ever regresses again, for any architecture. Additionally, adds new "user" selftest target, which loads this module.
