openrisc: fix arbitrary kernel memory access via or1k_atomic syscallgrafted
sys_or1k_atomic() (syscall 244 in the "or1k" ABI) takes two user pointers, v1 and v2, and swaps the words they point to in hand-written assembly. l.lwz r29,0(r4) l.lwz r27,0(r5) l.sw 0(r4),r27 l.sw 0(r5),r29 The pointers are not checked with access_ok(). The four memory accesses also have no exception table entries. A caller passes a kernel address as either pointer, and the syscall reads from and writes to it directly. This gives an unprivileged process a kernel read/write primitive. It overwrites kernel data such as the sys_call_table, gaining code execution in kernel context. Check both pointers before entering the critical section. Add fixups for the four memory accesses so faults on valid but unmapped user addresses return -EFAULT.

+What: /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/h1_gpio
+Date: April 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.2
+Description:
+ As part of Chrome OS's FAFT (Fully Automated Firmware Testing)
+ tests, we need to ensure that the H1 chip is properly setting
+ some GPIO lines. The h1_gpio attribute exposes the state
+ of the lines:
+ - ENTRY_TO_FACT_MODE in BIT(0)
+ - SPI_CHROME_SEL in BIT(1)
+
+ Output will formatted with "0x%02x\n".
+
+What: /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+Date: January 2019
+KernelVersion: 5.1
+Description:
+ Write and read raw mailbox commands to the EC.
+
+ You can write a hexadecimal sentence to raw, and that series of
+ bytes will be sent to the EC. Then, you can read the bytes of
+ response by reading from raw.
+
+ For writing, bytes 0-1 indicate the message type, one of enum
+ wilco_ec_msg_type. Byte 2+ consist of the data passed in the
+ request, starting at MBOX[0]. At least three bytes are required
+ for writing, two for the type and at least a single byte of
+ data.
+
+ Example::
+
+ // Request EC info type 3 (EC firmware build date)
+ // Corresponds with sending type 0x00f0 with
+ // MBOX = [38, 00, 03, 00]
+ $ echo 00 f0 38 00 03 00 > /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+ // View the result. The decoded ASCII result "12/21/18" is
+ // included after the raw hex.
+ // Corresponds with MBOX = [00, 00, 31, 32, 2f, 32, 31, 38, ...]
+ $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/wilco_ec/raw
+ 00 00 31 32 2f 32 31 2f 31 38 00 38 00 01 00 2f 00 ..12/21/18.8...
+
+ Note that the first 16 bytes of the received MBOX[] will be
+ printed, even if some of the data is junk, and skipping bytes
+ 17 to 32. It is up to you to know how many of the first bytes of
+ data are the actual response.
