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.

+Hardware random number generators
+=================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The hw_random framework is software that makes use of a
+special hardware feature on your CPU or motherboard,
+a Random Number Generator (RNG).  The software has two parts:
+a core providing the /dev/hwrng character device and its
+sysfs support, plus a hardware-specific driver that plugs
+into that core.
+
+To make the most effective use of these mechanisms, you
+should download the support software as well.  Download the
+latest version of the "rng-tools" package from:
+
+	https://github.com/nhorman/rng-tools
+
+Those tools use /dev/hwrng to fill the kernel entropy pool,
+which is used internally and exported by the /dev/urandom and
+/dev/random special files.
+
+Theory of operation
+===================
+
+CHARACTER DEVICE.  Using the standard open()
+and read() system calls, you can read random data from
+the hardware RNG device.  This data is NOT CHECKED by any
+fitness tests, and could potentially be bogus (if the
+hardware is faulty or has been tampered with).  Data is only
+output if the hardware "has-data" flag is set, but nevertheless
+a security-conscious person would run fitness tests on the
+data before assuming it is truly random.
+
+The rng-tools package uses such tests in "rngd", and lets you
+run them by hand with a "rngtest" utility.
+
+/dev/hwrng is char device major 10, minor 183.
+
+CLASS DEVICE.  There is a /sys/class/misc/hw_random node with
+two unique attributes, "rng_available" and "rng_current".  The
+"rng_available" attribute lists the hardware-specific drivers
+available, while "rng_current" lists the one which is currently
+connected to /dev/hwrng.  If your system has more than one
+RNG available, you may change the one used by writing a name from
+the list in "rng_available" into "rng_current".

+About the Intel RNG hardware, from the firmware hub datasheet
+=============================================================
+
+The Firmware Hub integrates a Random Number Generator (RNG)
+using thermal noise generated from inherently random quantum
+mechanical properties of silicon. When not generating new random
+bits the RNG circuitry will enter a low power state. Intel will
+provide a binary software driver to give third party software
+access to our RNG for use as a security feature. At this time,
+the RNG is only to be used with a system in an OS-present state.
+
+Intel RNG Driver notes
+======================
+
+FIXME: support poll(2)
+
+.. note::
+
+	request_mem_region was removed, for three reasons:
+
+	1) Only one RNG is supported by this driver;
+	2) The location used by the RNG is a fixed location in
+	   MMIO-addressable memory;
+	3) users with properly working BIOS e820 handling will always
+	   have the region in which the RNG is located reserved, so
+	   request_mem_region calls always fail for proper setups.
+	   However, for people who use mem=XX, BIOS e820 information is
+	   **not** in /proc/iomem, and request_mem_region(RNG_ADDR) can
+	   succeed.
