ARM: 9485/1: mm: acquire mmap write lock around show_pte() for user faultsgrafted
When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=y, and cmdline "user_debug=31" is set, a user fault may trigger show_pte() without any lock. If another thread in the same process concurrently calls munmap(), the page table pages may be freed while show_pte() is still traversing them, causing a use-after-free in show_pte(). If CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, this may cause a kernel panic if the pages table of PMD are freed when show_pte() is running. Acquire mmap_write_lock() around show_pte() for user faults to fix the contention. For user faults, additionally restrict that show_pte() is called only when the addr is a user-space address (addr < TASK_SIZE). This is because the lock of tsk->mm only protects the virtual memory of user address space, furthermore, dumping the page tables of a kernel-space address for user faults is unnecessary and may have security implications. Keep everything unchanged for kernel faults, because the kernel is already in the "oops" state, acquiring a lock may risk a deadlock.

+ Common access controllers properties
+
+ Access controllers are in charge of stating which of the hardware blocks under
+ their responsibility (their domain) can be accesssed by which compartment. A
+ compartment can be a cluster of CPUs (or coprocessors), a range of addresses
+ or a group of hardware blocks. An access controller's domain is the set of
+ resources covered by the access controller.
+
+ This device tree binding can be used to bind devices to their access
+ controller provided by access-controllers property. In this case, the device
+ is a consumer and the access controller is the provider.
+
+ An access controller can be represented by any node in the device tree and
+ can provide one or more configuration parameters, needed to control parameters
+ of the consumer device. A consumer node can refer to the provider by phandle
+ and a set of phandle arguments, specified by '#access-controller-cells'
+ property in the access controller node.
+
+ Access controllers are typically used to set/read the permissions of a
+ hardware block and grant access to it. Any of which depends on the access
+ controller. The capabilities of each access controller are defined by the
+ binding of the access controller device.
+
+ Each node can be a consumer for the several access controllers.
