Kernel: Validate the full range of user memory passed to syscalls
We now validate the full range of userspace memory passed into syscalls
instead of just checking that the first and last byte of the memory are
in process-owned regions.
This fixes an issue where it was possible to avoid rejection of invalid
addresses that sat between two valid ones, simply by passing a valid
address and a size large enough to put the end of the range at another
valid address.
I added a little test utility that tries to provoke EFAULT in various
ways to help verify this. I'm sure we can think of more ways to test
this but it's at least a start. :^)
Thanks to mozjag for pointing out that this code was still lacking!
Incidentally this also makes backtraces work again.
Fixes #989.
