Subject: [PATCH v5 1/5] x86/pkeys: Add PKRU as a parameter in signal handling functions

Problem description:
Let's assume there's a multithreaded application that runs untrusted
user code. Each thread has its stack/code protected by a non-zero pkey,
and the PKRU register is set up such that only that particular non-zero
pkey is enabled. Each thread also sets up an alternate signal stack to
handle signals, which is protected by pkey zero. The pkeys man page
documents that the PKRU will be reset to init_pkru when the signal
handler is invoked, which means that pkey zero access will be enabled.
But this reset happens after the kernel attempts to push fpu state
to the alternate stack, which is not (yet) accessible by the kernel,
which leads to a new SIGSEGV being sent to the application, terminating
it.

Enabling both the non-zero pkey (for the thread) and pkey zero in
userspace will not work for this use case. We cannot have the alt stack
writeable by all - the rationale here is that the code running in that
thread (using a non-zero pkey) is untrusted and should not have access
to the alternate signal stack (that uses pkey zero), to prevent the
return address of a function from being changed. The expectation is that
kernel should be able to set up the alternate signal stack and deliver
the signal to the application even if pkey zero is explicitly disabled
by the application. The signal handler accessibility should not be dictated
by whatever PKRU value the thread sets up.

Solution:
The PKRU register is managed by XSAVE, which means the sigframe contents
must match the register contents - which is not the case here. We want
the sigframe to contain the user-defined PKRU value (so that it is
restored correctly from sigcontext) but the actual register must be
reset to init_pkru so that the alt stack is accessible and the signal
can be delivered to the application. It seems that the proper fix here
would be to remove PKRU from the XSAVE framework and manage it
separately, which is quite complicated. As a workaround, do this:

        orig_pkru = rdpkru();
        wrpkru(orig_pkru & init_pkru_value);
        xsave_to_user_sigframe();
        put_user(pkru_sigframe_addr, orig_pkru)

This change is split over multiple patches.

In preparation for writing PKRU to sigframe in a later patch, pass in PKRU as
an additional parameter down the chain from handle_signal:
        setup_rt_frame()
          xxx_setup_rt_frame()
            get_sigframe()
              copy_fpstate_to_sigframe()
                copy_fpregs_to_sigframe()

There are no functional changes in this patch.
