[PATCH v4 1/4] syscalls: Restore address limit after a syscall

Wed Mar 22 13:38:31 PDT 2017
This patch ensures a syscall does not return to user-mode with a kernel
address limit. If that happened, a process can corrupt kernel-mode
memory and elevate privileges.
For example, it would mitigation this bug:
- https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=990
If the CONFIG_BUG_ON_DATA_CORRUPTION option is enabled, an incorrect
state will result in a BUG_ON.
The CONFIG_ARCH_NO_SYSCALL_VERIFY_PRE_USERMODE_STATE option is also
added so each architecture can optimize this change.
