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.

+Code documentation
+------------------
+
+Given a kernel configuration, the kernel may generate Rust code documentation,
+i.e. HTML rendered by the ``rustdoc`` tool.
+
+.. only:: rustdoc and html
+
+ This kernel documentation was built with `Rust code documentation
+ <rustdoc/kernel/index.html>`_.
+
+.. only:: not rustdoc and html
+
+ This kernel documentation was not built with Rust code documentation.
+
+A pregenerated version is provided at:
+
+ https://rust.docs.kernel.org
+
+Please see the :ref:`Code documentation <rust_code_documentation>` section for
+more details.
