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.

+Description:
+ Provide a place in sysfs for the devfreq-event objects.
+ This allows accessing various devfreq-event specific variables.
+ The name of devfreq-event object denoted as 'event<x>' which
+ includes the unique number of 'x' for each devfreq-event object.

+Contact: Chanwoo Choi <cw00.choi@samsung.com>
+Description:
+ The /sys/class/devfreq-event/event<x>/name attribute contains
+ the name of the devfreq-event object. This attribute is
+ read-only.

+Date: January 2017
+Contact: Chanwoo Choi <cw00.choi@samsung.com>
+Description:
+ The /sys/class/devfreq-event/event<x>/enable_count attribute
+ contains the reference count to enable the devfreq-event
+ object. If the device is enabled, the value of attribute is
+ greater than zero.
