[PATCH v4 0/3] arm64: usercopy: Implement stack frame object validation

Hi all,

This version of Sahara's arch_within_stack_frames() series replaces the
open-coded stack walker with a call to arm64's existing walker.

Patch 2 can be tested independently with this change[0].

lkdtm's use of unallocated stack regions is a separate problem, patch 3
tries to address this.

Sahara, it would be good to get your review of this!
I'm afraid I omitted your patch-3 as it stopped the lkdtm test from working,
I suspect its not tricking the compiler, but I haven't investigated.


Thanks,

James

[0] Change to lkdtm to generate accesses that overlap stack frames.
