Add WRITE_OPD to check that you can't modify function
descriptors.

Gives the following result when function descriptors are
not protected:

	lkdtm: Performing direct entry WRITE_OPD
	lkdtm: attempting bad 16 bytes write at c00000000269b358
	lkdtm: FAIL: survived bad write
	lkdtm: do_nothing was hijacked!

Looks like a standard compiler barrier() is not enough to force
GCC to use the modified function descriptor. Had to add a fake empty
inline assembly to force GCC to reload the function descriptor.

execute_location() and execute_user_location() intent
to copy do_nothing() text and execute it at a new location.
However, at the time being it doesn't copy do_nothing() function
but do_nothing() function descriptor which still points to the
original text. So at the end it still executes do_nothing() at
its original location allthough using a copied function descriptor.

So, fix that by really copying do_nothing() text and build a new
function descriptor by copying do_nothing() function descriptor and
updating the target address with the new location.

Also fix the displayed addresses by dereferencing do_nothing()
function descriptor.

WRITE_KERN is supposed to overwrite some kernel text, namely
do_overwritten() function.

But at the time being it overwrites do_overwritten() function
descriptor, not function text.

Fix it by dereferencing the function descriptor to obtain
function text pointer. Export dereference_function_descriptor()
for when LKDTM is built as a module.

And make do_overwritten() noinline so that it is really
do_overwritten() which is called by lkdtm_WRITE_KERN().

<content type='text'>
On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.

Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 &lt;.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing&gt;:
	   0:	00 00 00 00 	.long 0x0

Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 &lt;.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing&gt;:
	   0:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.

Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 &lt;.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing&gt;:
	   0:	00 00 00 00 	.long 0x0

Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.

	Disassembly of section .rodata:

	0000000000000000 &lt;.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing&gt;:
	   0:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

<title>lkdtm: avoid printk() in recursive_loop()</title>

The recursive_loop() function is intended as a diagnostic to ensure that
exhausting the stack is caught and mitigated. Currently, it uses
pr_info() to ensure that the function has side effects that the compiler
cannot simply optimize away, so that the stack footprint does not get
reduced inadvertently.

The typical mitigation for stack overflow is to kill the task, and this
overflow may occur inside the call to pr_info(), which means it could be
holding the console lock when this happens. This means that the console
lock is never going to be released again, preventing the diagnostic
prints related to the stack overflow handling from being visible on the
console.

So let's replace the call to pr_info() with a call to
memzero_explicit(), which is not a 'magic' function name like memset()
or memcpy(), which the compiler may replace with plain loads and stores.
To ensure that the stack frames are nested rather than tail-called, put
the call to memzero_explicit() after the recursive call.
