net: Define usercopy region in struct proto slab cache
In support of usercopy hardening, this patch defines a region in the struct proto slab cache in which userspace copy operations are allowed. Some protocols need to copy objects to/from userspace, and they can declare the region via their proto structure with the new usersize and useroffset fields. Initially, if no region is specified (usersize == 0), the entire field is marked as whitelisted. This allows protocols to be whitelisted in subsequent patches. Once all protocols have been annotated, the full-whitelist default can be removed. This region is known as the slab cache's usercopy region. Slab caches can now check that each dynamically sized copy operation involving cache-managed memory falls entirely within the slab's usercopy region. This patch is modified from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's PAX_USERCOPY whitelisting code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code.
