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.

+ 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.
