powerpc/perf: callchain validate kernel stack pointer bounds
The interrupt frame detection and loads from the hypothetical pt_regs are not bounds-checked. The next-frame validation only bounds-checks STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, which does not include the pt_regs. Add another test for this. The user could set r1 to be equal to the address matching the first interrupt frame - STACK_INT_FRAME_SIZE, which is in the previous page due to the kernel redzone, and induce the kernel to load the marker from there. Possibly this could cause a crash at least. If the user could induce the previous page to contain a valid marker, then it might be able to direct perf to read specific memory addresses in a way that could be transmitted back to the user in the perf data.
