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:
+ This file allows you to turn debug output from the st driver
+ off if you write a '0' to the file or on if you write a '1'.
+ Note that debug output requires that the module be compiled
+ with the #define DEBUG set to a non-zero value (this is the
+ default). If DEBUG is set to 0 then this file will not
+ appear in sysfs as its presence is conditional upon debug
+ output support being compiled into the module.
