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.

+Date: March 2023
+Contact: nipun.gupta@amd.com
+Description:
+ Writing y/1/on to this file will cause rescan of the bus
+ and devices on the CDX bus. Any new devices are scanned and
+ added to the list of Linux devices and any devices removed are
+ also deleted from Linux.
+
+ For example::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/cdx/rescan
+

+Contact: nipun.gupta@amd.com
+Description:
+ Vendor ID for this CDX device, in hexadecimal. Vendor ID is
+ 16 bit identifier which is specific to the device manufacturer.
+ Combination of Vendor ID and Device ID identifies a device.

+What: /sys/bus/cdx/devices/.../enable
+Date: October 2023
+Contact: abhijit.gangurde@amd.com
+Description:
+ CDX bus should be disabled before updating the devices in FPGA.
+ Writing n/0/off will attempt to disable the CDX bus and.
+ writing y/1/on will attempt to enable the CDX bus. Reading this file
+ gives the current state of the bus, 1 for enabled and 0 for disabled.
+
+ For example::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/cdx/.../enable
+

+Date: March 2023
+Contact: nipun.gupta@amd.com
+Description:
+ Writing y/1/on to this file resets the CDX device or all devices
+ on the bus. On resetting the device, the corresponding driver is
+ notified twice, once before the device is being reset, and again
+ after the reset has been complete.
+
+ For example::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/cdx/.../reset
+
+What: /sys/bus/cdx/devices/.../remove
+Date: March 2023
+Contact: tarak.reddy@amd.com
+Description:
+ Writing y/1/on to this file removes the corresponding
+ device from the CDX bus. If the device is to be reconfigured
+ reconfigured in the Hardware, the device can be removed, so
+ that the device driver does not access the device while it is
+ being reconfigured.
+
+ For example::
+
+ # echo 1 > /sys/bus/cdx/devices/.../remove

+Description:
+ This attribute indicates the CDX ID of the device.
+ That is in the format:
+ cdx:vXXXXdXXXXsvXXXXsdXXXXcXXXXXX,
+ where:
+
+ - vXXXX contains the vendor ID;
+ - dXXXX contains the device ID;
+ - svXXXX contains the subsystem vendor ID;
+ - sdXXXX contains the subsystem device ID;
+ - cXXXXXX contains the device class.
