powerpc/ptrace: Expose HASHKEYR register to ptrace
The HASHKEYR register contains a secret per-process key to enable unique hashes per process. In general it should not be exposed to userspace at all and a regular process has no need to know its key. However, checkpoint restore in userspace (CRIU) functionality requires that a process be able to set the HASHKEYR of another process, otherwise existing hashes on the stack would be invalidated by a new random key. Exposing HASHKEYR in this way also makes it appear in core dumps, which is a security concern. Multiple threads may share a key, for example just after a fork() call, where the kernel cannot know if the child is going to return back along the parent's stack. If such a thread is coerced into making a core dump, then the HASHKEYR value will be readable and able to be used against all other threads sharing that key, effectively undoing any protection offered by hashst/hashchk. Therefore we expose HASHKEYR to ptrace when CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is enabled, providing a choice of increased security or migratable ROP protected processes. This is similar to how ARM exposes its PAC keys.
