Public bug reported:
Kees Cook is requesting the following be enabled for our Raspi2/3
enabled kernel:
config CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN
bool "Enable use of CPU domains to implement privileged no-access"
depends on MMU && !ARM_LPAE
default y
help
Increase kernel security by ensuring that normal kernel accesses
are unable to access userspace addresses. This can help prevent
use-after-free bugs becoming an exploitable privilege escalation
by ensuring that magic values (such as LIST_POISON) will always
fault when dereferenced.
CPUs with low-vector mappings use a best-efforts implementation.
Their lower 1MB needs to remain accessible for the vectors, but
the remainder of userspace will become appropriately inaccessible.
