ARM: 9485/1: mm: acquire mmap write lock around show_pte() for user faultsgrafted
When CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=y, and cmdline "user_debug=31" is set, a user fault may trigger show_pte() without any lock. If another thread in the same process concurrently calls munmap(), the page table pages may be freed while show_pte() is still traversing them, causing a use-after-free in show_pte(). If CONFIG_ARM_LPAE=y, this may cause a kernel panic if the pages table of PMD are freed when show_pte() is running. Acquire mmap_write_lock() around show_pte() for user faults to fix the contention. For user faults, additionally restrict that show_pte() is called only when the addr is a user-space address (addr < TASK_SIZE). This is because the lock of tsk->mm only protects the virtual memory of user address space, furthermore, dumping the page tables of a kernel-space address for user faults is unnecessary and may have security implications. Keep everything unchanged for kernel faults, because the kernel is already in the "oops" state, acquiring a lock may risk a deadlock.

+ * Queued spinlock
+ *
+ * A 'generic' spinlock implementation that is based on MCS locks. For an
+ * architecture that's looking for a 'generic' spinlock, please first consider
+ * ticket-lock.h and only come looking here when you've considered all the
+ * constraints below and can show your hardware does actually perform better
+ * with qspinlock.
+ *
+ * qspinlock relies on atomic_*_release()/atomic_*_acquire() to be RCsc (or no
+ * weaker than RCtso if you're power), where regular code only expects atomic_t
+ * to be RCpc.
+ *
+ * qspinlock relies on a far greater (compared to asm-generic/spinlock.h) set
+ * of atomic operations to behave well together, please audit them carefully to
+ * ensure they all have forward progress. Many atomic operations may default to
+ * cmpxchg() loops which will not have good forward progress properties on
+ * LL/SC architectures.
+ *
+ * One notable example is atomic_fetch_or_acquire(), which x86 cannot (cheaply)
+ * do. Carefully read the patches that introduced
+ * queued_fetch_set_pending_acquire().
+ *
+ * qspinlock also heavily relies on mixed size atomic operations, in specific
+ * it requires architectures to have xchg16; something which many LL/SC
+ * architectures need to implement as a 32bit and+or in order to satisfy the
+ * forward progress guarantees mentioned above.
+ *
