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.

+
+Panfrost DRM client usage stats implementation
+==============================================
+
+The drm/Panfrost driver implements the DRM client usage stats specification as
+documented in :ref:`drm-client-usage-stats`.
+
+Example of the output showing the implemented key value pairs and entirety of
+the currently possible format options:
+
+::
+ pos: 0
+ flags: 02400002
+ mnt_id: 27
+ ino: 531
+ drm-driver: panfrost
+ drm-client-id: 14
+ drm-engine-fragment: 1846584880 ns
+ drm-cycles-fragment: 1424359409
+ drm-maxfreq-fragment: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-curfreq-fragment: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-engine-vertex-tiler: 71932239 ns
+ drm-cycles-vertex-tiler: 52617357
+ drm-maxfreq-vertex-tiler: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-curfreq-vertex-tiler: 799999987 Hz
+ drm-total-memory: 290 MiB
+ drm-shared-memory: 0 MiB
+ drm-active-memory: 226 MiB
+ drm-resident-memory: 36496 KiB
+ drm-purgeable-memory: 128 KiB
+
+Possible `drm-engine-` key names are: `fragment`, and `vertex-tiler`.
+`drm-curfreq-` values convey the current operating frequency for that engine.
+
+Users must bear in mind that engine and cycle sampling are disabled by default,
+because of power saving concerns. `fdinfo` users and benchmark applications which
+query the fdinfo file must make sure to toggle the job profiling status of the
+driver by writing into the appropriate sysfs node::
+
+ echo <N> > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/panfrost/[a-f0-9]*.gpu/profiling
+
+Where `N` is either `0` or `1`, depending on the desired enablement status.
