Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.
Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications. For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.
Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

to <linux/sched/mm.h>
We are going to split more MM APIs out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from a couple of .c files.
The APIs that we are going to move are:
arch_pick_mmap_layout()
arch_get_unmapped_area()
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
mm_update_next_owner()
Include the header in the files that are going to need it.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"About half of most of MM. Going very early this time due to
uncertainty over the coreautounifiednumasched things. I'll send the
other half of most of MM tomorrow. The rest of MM awaits a slab merge
from Pekka."

Update the sh arch_get_unmapped_area[_topdown] functions to make use of
vm_unmapped_area() instead of implementing a brute force search.

This patch fixes the /dev/mem driver to use phys_addr_t for physical
addresses. This is required on PAE systems, especially those that run
entirely out of >4G physical memory space.

With the PMB enabled, only P1SEG and up are covered by the PMB mappings,
meaning that situations where out-of-bounds physical addresses are read
from will lead to TLB reset after the PMB miss, allowing for use cases
like dd if=/dev/mem to reset the TLB.
Fix this up to make sure the reference is between __MEMORY_START (phys)
and __pa(high_memory). This is coherent across all variants of sh/sh64
with and without MMU, though the PMB bug itself is only applicable to
SH-4A parts.
