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.

+OpenRISC Generic SoC
+====================
+
+Boards and FPGA SoC's which support the OpenRISC standard platform. The
+platform essentially follows the conventions of the OpenRISC architecture
+specification, however some aspects, such as the boot protocol have been defined
+by the Linux port.
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+ - compatible: Must include "opencores,or1ksim"
+
+CPU nodes:
+----------
+A "cpus" node is required. Required properties:
+ - #address-cells: Must be 1.
+ - #size-cells: Must be 0.
+A CPU sub-node is also required for at least CPU 0. Since the topology may
+be probed via CPS, it is not necessary to specify secondary CPUs. Required
+properties:
+ - compatible: Must be "opencores,or1200-rtlsvn481".
+ - reg: CPU number.
+ - clock-frequency: The CPU clock frequency in Hz.
+Example:
+ cpus {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+ cpu@0 {
+ compatible = "opencores,or1200-rtlsvn481";
+ reg = <0>;
+ clock-frequency = <20000000>;
+ };
+ };
+
+
+Boot protocol
+-------------
+The bootloader may pass the following arguments to the kernel:
+ - r3: address of a flattened device-tree blob or 0x0.
