[PATCH v18 02/80] x86: ptrace debugreg checks rewrite

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

This is a mess.

Pre unified-x86 code did check for breakpoint addr
to be "< TASK_SIZE - 3 (or 7)". This was fine from security POV,
but banned valid breakpoint usage when address is close to TASK_SIZE.
E. g. 1-byte breakpoint at TASK_SIZE - 1 should be allowed, but it wasn't.

Then came commit 84929801e14d968caeb84795bfbb88f04283fbd9
("[PATCH] x86_64: TASK_SIZE fixes for compatibility mode processes")
which for some reason touched ptrace as well and made effective
TASK_SIZE of 32-bit process depending on IA32_PAGE_OFFSET
which is not a constant!:

#define IA32_PAGE_OFFSET ((current->personality & ADDR_LIMIT_3GB) ? 0xc0000000 : 0xFFFFe000)
^^^^^^^
Maximum addr for breakpoint became dependent on personality of ptracer.

Commit also relaxed danger zone for 32-bit processes from 8 bytes to 4
not taking into account that 8-byte wide breakpoints are possible even
for 32-bit processes. This was fine, however, because 64-bit kernel
addresses are too far from 32-bit ones.

Then came utrace with commit 2047b08be67b70875d8765fc81d34ce28041bec3
("x86: x86 ptrace getreg/putreg merge") which copy-pasted and ifdeffed 32-bit
part of TASK_SIZE_OF() leaving 8-byte issue as-is.

So, what patch fixes?
1) Too strict logic near TASK_SIZE boundary -- as long as we don't cross
TASK_SIZE_MAX, we're fine.
2) Too smart logic of using breakpoints over non-existent kernel
boundary -- we should only protect against setting up after
TASK_SIZE_MAX, the rest is none of kernel business. This fixes
IA32_PAGE_OFFSET beartrap as well.

As a bonus, remove uberhack and big comment determining DR7 validness,
rewrite with clear algorithm when it's obvious what's going on.

Make DR validness checker suitable for C/R. On restart DR registers
must be checked the same way they are checked on PTRACE_POKEUSR.

Question 1: TIF_DEBUG can set even if none of breakpoints is turned on,
should this be optimized?

Question 2: Breakpoints are allowed to be globally enabled, is this a
security risk?
