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.

+====================
+Intel Display Driver
+====================
+
+The Intel display driver provides the display, or :ref:`drm-kms`, support for
+both the :ref:`drm/xe <drm/xe>` and :ref:`drm/i915 <drm/i915>` Intel GPU
+drivers.
+
+The source code currently resides under ``drivers/gpu/drm/i915/display`` due to
+historical reasons, and it's compiled separately into both drm/xe and drm/i915
+kernel modules.
+
+The drm/xe and drm/i915 drivers are the "core" or "parent" drivers for display,
+as they initialize and own the drm device, and pass that on to the display
+driver. The display driver isn't an independent driver in that sense.
