MIPS: Bounds check virt_addr_valid
The virt_addr_valid() function is meant to return true iff virt_to_page() will return a valid struct page reference. This is true iff the address provided is found within the unmapped address range between PAGE_OFFSET & MAP_BASE, but we don't currently check for that condition. Instead we simply mask the address to obtain what will be a physical address if the virtual address is indeed in the desired range, shift it to form a PFN & then call pfn_valid(). This can incorrectly return true if called with a virtual address which, after masking, happens to form a physical address corresponding to a valid PFN. For example we may vmalloc an address in the kernel mapped region starting a MAP_BASE & obtain the virtual address: addr = 0xc000000000002000 When masked by virt_to_phys(), which uses __pa() & in turn CPHYSADDR(), we obtain the following (bogus) physical address: addr = 0x2000 In a common system with PHYS_OFFSET=0 this will correspond to a valid struct page which should really be accessed by virtual address PAGE_OFFSET+0x2000, causing virt_addr_valid() to incorrectly return 1 indicating that the original address corresponds to a struct page. This is equivalent to the ARM64 change made in commit ca219452c6b8 ("arm64: Correctly bounds check virt_addr_valid"). This fixes fallout when hardened usercopy is enabled caused by the related commit 517e1fbeb65f ("mm/usercopy: Drop extra is_vmalloc_or_module() check") which removed a check for the vmalloc range that was present from the introduction of the hardened usercopy feature.
