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: Selects the RX source of the UARTx device.
+
+ When read, each file shows the list of available options with currently
+ selected option marked by brackets "[]". The list of available options
+ depends on the selected file.
+
+ e.g.
+ cat /sys/bus/platform/drivers/aspeed-uart-routing/\*.uart_routing/uart1
+ [io1] io2 io3 io4 uart2 uart3 uart4 io6
+
+ In this case, UART1 gets its input from IO1 (physical serial port 1).
