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.

+ help
+ This is a very small read-only file system mainly intended for
+ initial ram disks of installation disks, but it could be used for
+ other read-only media as well. Read
+ <file:Documentation/filesystems/romfs.rst> for details.
+
+ To compile this file system support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called romfs. Note that the file system of your
+ root partition (the one containing the directory /) cannot be a
+ module.
+
+ If you don't know whether you need it, then you don't need it:
