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.

+ Boot File System (BFS) is a file system used under SCO UnixWare to
+ allow the bootloader access to the kernel image and other important
+ files during the boot process. It is usually mounted under /stand
+ and corresponds to the slice marked as "STAND" in the UnixWare
+ partition. You should say Y if you want to read or write the files
+ on your /stand slice from within Linux. You then also need to say Y
+ to "UnixWare slices support", below. More information about the BFS
+ file system is contained in the file
+ <file:Documentation/filesystems/bfs.rst>.
+
+ If you don't know what this is about, say N.
+
+ To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
+ bfs. Note that the file system of your root partition (the one
+ containing the directory /) cannot be compiled as a module.
