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:
+ If the permissive attribute is set, then writing a string in
+ the format of DDDD:BB:DD.F-REG:SIZE:MASK will allow the guest
+ to write and read from the PCI device. That is Domain:Bus:
+ Device.Function-Register:Size:Mask (Domain is optional).
+ For example::
+
+ #echo 00:19.0-E0:2:FF > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/quirks
+
+ will allow the guest to read and write to the configuration
+ register 0x0E.

+KernelVersion: 5.6
+Contact: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org
+Description:
+ List of devices which can have interrupt control flag (INTx,
+ MSI, MSI-X) set by a connected guest. It is meant to be set
+ only when the guest is a stubdomain hosting device model (qemu)
+ and the actual device is assigned to a HVM. It is not safe
+ (similar to permissive attribute) to set for a devices assigned
+ to a PV guest. The device is automatically removed from this
+ list when the connected pcifront terminates.
