userfaultfd: do not untag user pointers

commit e71e2ace5721a8b921dca18b045069e7bb411277 upstream.

Patch series "userfaultfd: do not untag user pointers", v5.

If a user program uses userfaultfd on ranges of heap memory, it may end
up passing a tagged pointer to the kernel in the range.start field of
the UFFDIO_REGISTER ioctl.  This can happen when using an MTE-capable
allocator, or on Android if using the Tagged Pointers feature for MTE
readiness [1].

When a fault subsequently occurs, the tag is stripped from the fault
address returned to the application in the fault.address field of struct
uffd_msg.  However, from the application's perspective, the tagged
address *is* the memory address, so if the application is unaware of
memory tags, it may get confused by receiving an address that is, from
its point of view, outside of the bounds of the allocation.  We observed
this behavior in the kselftest for userfaultfd [2] but other
applications could have the same problem.

Address this by not untagging pointers passed to the userfaultfd ioctls.
Instead, let the system call fail.  Also change the kselftest to use
mmap so that it doesn't encounter this problem.

This patch (of 2):

Do not untag pointers passed to the userfaultfd ioctls.  Instead, let
the system call fail.  This will provide an early indication of problems
with tag-unaware userspace code instead of letting the code get confused
later, and is consistent with how we decided to handle brk/mmap/mremap
in commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in
brk()/mmap()/mremap()"), as well as being consistent with the existing
tagged address ABI documentation relating to how ioctl arguments are
handled.

The code change is a revert of commit 7d0325749a6c ("userfaultfd: untag
user pointers") plus some fixups to some additional calls to
validate_range that have appeared since then.
