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.

+ KernelMemorySanitizer (KMSAN) is a dynamic detector of uses of
+ uninitialized values in the kernel. It is based on compiler
+ instrumentation provided by Clang and thus requires Clang to build.
+
+ An important note is that KMSAN is not intended for production use,
+ because it drastically increases kernel memory footprint and slows
+ the whole system down.
+
+ See <file:Documentation/dev-tools/kmsan.rst> for more details.

+ help
+ If the compiler supports -fsanitize-memory-param-retval, KMSAN will
+ eagerly check every function parameter passed by value and every
+ function return value.
+
+ Disabling KMSAN_CHECK_PARAM_RETVAL will result in tracking shadow for
+ function parameters and return values across function borders. This
+ is a more relaxed mode, but it generates more instrumentation code and
+ may potentially report errors in corner cases when non-instrumented
+ functions call instrumented ones.
