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.

+ * The semid64_ds structure for most architectures (though it came from x86_32

+ * forth between kernel and user space.
+ *
+ * semid64_ds was originally meant to be architecture specific, but
+ * everyone just ended up making identical copies without specific
+ * optimizations, so we may just as well all use the same one.
+ *
+ * 64 bit architectures use a 64-bit long time field here, while
+ * 32 bit architectures have a pair of unsigned long values.
+ *
+ * On big-endian systems, the padding is in the wrong place for
+ * historic reasons, so user space has to reconstruct a time_t
+ * value using
+ *
+ * user_semid_ds.sem_otime = kernel_semid64_ds.sem_otime +
+ * ((long long)kernel_semid64_ds.sem_otime_high << 32)
