usercopy: Check valid lifetime via stack depth
One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack check. The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1], he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no longer present on the stack). Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures have actually implemented the common global register alias. Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures. The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests (once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.
