Subject: [PATCH v2 05/11] test_user_copy: Check legit kernel accesses
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 16:21:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438960924-23628-6-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1438960924-23628-1-git-send-email-james.hogan@imgtec.com>

Check that the use of the user accessors for accessing kernel memory
succeed as expected after set_fs(get_ds()) is used to increases the
address limit, as used by the kernel to directly invoke system call code
with kernel pointers.

The tests are basically the same as the tests normally expected to be
treated as invalid, but without any user addresses (no reversed copies),
and with the result inverted such that they should succeed instead.

New tests:
- legitimate all-kernel copy_from_user
- legitimate all-kernel copy_to_user
- legitimate kernel get_user
- legitimate kernel put_user
