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: Directory containing information about the system's IRQs.
+ Specifically, data from the associated struct irq_desc.
+ The information here is similar to that in /proc/interrupts
+ but in a more machine-friendly format. This directory contains
+ one subdirectory for each Linux IRQ number.

+ device names associated with this interrupt.

+Description: The number of times the interrupt has fired since boot. This
+ is a comma-separated list of counters; one per CPU in CPU id
+ order. NOTE: This file consistently shows counters for all
+ CPU ids. This differs from the behavior of /proc/interrupts
+ which only shows counters for online CPUs.
