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.

+ accel/rocket Rockchip NPU driver
+=====================================
+
+The accel/rocket driver supports the Neural Processing Units (NPUs) inside some
+Rockchip SoCs such as the RK3588. Rockchip calls it RKNN and sometimes RKNPU.
+
+The hardware is described in chapter 36 in the RK3588 TRM.
+
+This driver just powers the hardware on and off, allocates and maps buffers to
+the device and submits jobs to the frontend unit. Everything else is done in
+userspace, as a Gallium driver (also called rocket) that is part of the Mesa3D
+project.
+
+Hardware currently supported:
