ARM: 9485/1: mm: acquire mmap write lock around show_pte() for user faultsgrafted
When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=y, and cmdline "user_debug=31" is set, a user fault may trigger show_pte() without any lock. If another thread in the same process concurrently calls munmap(), the page table pages may be freed while show_pte() is still traversing them, causing a use-after-free in show_pte(). If CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, this may cause a kernel panic if the pages table of PMD are freed when show_pte() is running. Acquire mmap_write_lock() around show_pte() for user faults to fix the contention. For user faults, additionally restrict that show_pte() is called only when the addr is a user-space address (addr < TASK_SIZE). This is because the lock of tsk->mm only protects the virtual memory of user address space, furthermore, dumping the page tables of a kernel-space address for user faults is unnecessary and may have security implications. Keep everything unchanged for kernel faults, because the kernel is already in the "oops" state, acquiring a lock may risk a deadlock.

+What: /sys/bus/css/devices/.../driver_override
+Date: June 2019
+Contact: linux-s390@vger.kernel.org
+Description: This file allows the driver for a device to be specified. When
+ specified, only a driver with a name matching the value written
+ to driver_override will have an opportunity to bind to the
+ device. The override is specified by writing a string to the
+ driver_override file (echo vfio-ccw > driver_override) and
+ may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
+ This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
+ Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
+ device from its current driver or make any attempt to
+ automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
+ matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
+ will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
+ opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
+ "none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,
+ there is no support for parsing delimiters.
+
+ Note that unlike the mechanism of the same name for pci, this
+ file does not allow to override basic matching rules. I.e.,
+ the driver must still match the subchannel type of the device.
