Subject: [v2 PATCH] add param that allows bootline control of hardened usercopy
Date:   Tue, 26 Jun 2018 08:50:30 -0400
Message-Id: <1530017430-5394-1-git-send-email-crecklin@redhat.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

Enabling HARDENED_USER_COPY causes measurable regressions in the
networking performances, up to 8% under UDP flood.

A generic distro may want to enable HARDENED_USER_COPY in their default
kernel config, but at the same time, such distro may want to be able to
avoid the performance penalties in with the default configuration and
disable the stricter check on a per-boot basis.

This change adds a boot parameter that to conditionally disable
HARDENED_USERCOPY at boot time.

v1->v2:
	remove CONFIG_HUC_DEFAULT_OFF
	default is now enabled, boot param disables
	move check to __check_object_size so as to not break optimization of
		__builtin_constant_p()
	include linux/atomic.h before linux/jump_label.h
