This patch implements Kernel Userspace Access Protection for
book3s/32.
Due to limitations of the processor page protection capabilities,
the protection is only against writing. read protection cannot be
achieved using page protection.
The previous patch modifies the page protection so that RW user
pages are RW for Key 0 and RO for Key 1, and it sets Key 0 for
both user and kernel.
This patch changes userspace segment registers are set to Ku 0
and Ks 1. When kernel needs to write to RW pages, the associated
segment register is then changed to Ks 0 in order to allow write
access to the kernel.
In order to avoid having the read all segment registers when
locking/unlocking the access, some data is kept in the thread_struct
and saved on stack on exceptions. The field identifies both the
first unlocked segment and the first segment following the last
unlocked one. When no segment is unlocked, it contains value 0.
As the hash_page() function is not able to easily determine if a
protfault is due to a bad kernel access to userspace, protfaults
need to be handled by handle_page_fault when KUAP is set.

[mpe: Drop allow_read/write_to/from_user() as they're now in kup.h,
and adapt allow_user_access() to do nothing when to == NULL]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
