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.

+
+Xilinx Zynq MPSoC Firmware Interface
+-------------------------------------
+The zynqmp-firmware node describes the interface to platform firmware.
+ZynqMP has an interface to communicate with secure firmware. Firmware
+driver provides an interface to firmware APIs. Interface APIs can be
+used by any driver to communicate with PMC(Platform Management Controller).
+
+Embedded Energy Management Interface (EEMI)
+----------------------------------------------
+The embedded energy management interface is used to allow software
+components running across different processing clusters on a chip or
+device to communicate with a power management controller (PMC) on a
+device to issue or respond to power management requests.
+
+Any driver who wants to communicate with PMC using EEMI APIs use the
+functions provided for each function.
+
+IOCTL
+------
+IOCTL API is for device control and configuration. It is not a system
+IOCTL but it is an EEMI API. This API can be used by master to control
+any device specific configuration. IOCTL definitions can be platform
+specific. This API also manage shared device configuration.
+
+The following IOCTL IDs are valid for device control:
+- IOCTL_SET_PLL_FRAC_MODE 8
+- IOCTL_GET_PLL_FRAC_MODE 9
+- IOCTL_SET_PLL_FRAC_DATA 10
+- IOCTL_GET_PLL_FRAC_DATA 11
+
+Refer EEMI API guide [0] for IOCTL specific parameters and other EEMI APIs.
