[RFC PATCH v3 03/11] arm64: compat: Add CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS

[kevin.brodsky@arm.com (Kevin Brodsky)]

Make it possible to disable the kuser helpers by adding a KUSER_HELPERS
config option (enabled by default). When disabled, all kuser
helpers-related code is removed from the kernel and no mapping is done
at the fixed high address (0xffff0000); any attempt to use a kuser
helper from a 32-bit process will result in a segfault.

+
+	  Provide kuser helpers in a special purpose fixed-address page. The
+	  kernel provides helper code to userspace in read-only form at a fixed
+	  location to allow userspace to be independent of the CPU type fitted
+	  to the system. This permits 32-bit binaries to be run on ARMv4 through
+	  to ARMv8 without modification.
+
+	  See Documentation/arm/kernel_user_helpers.txt for details.
+
+	  However, the fixed-address nature of these helpers can be used by ROP
+	  (return-orientated programming) authors when creating exploits.
+
+	  If all of the 32-bit binaries and libraries which run on your platform
+	  are built specifically for your platform, and make no use of these
+	  helpers, then you can turn this option off to hinder such exploits.
+	  However, in that case, if a binary or library relying on those helpers
+	  is run, it will receive a SIGSEGV signal, which will terminate the
+	  program. Typically, binaries compiled for ARMv7 or later do not use
+	  the kuser helpers.
+
+	  Say N here only if you are absolutely certain that you do not need
+	  these helpers; otherwise, the safe option is to say Y.
