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 enables support for configuring Data Center Bridging (DCB)
+ features on DCB capable Ethernet adapters via rtnetlink. Say 'Y'
+ if you have a DCB capable Ethernet adapter which supports this
+ interface and you are connected to a DCB capable switch.
+
+ DCB is a collection of Ethernet enhancements which allow DCB capable
+ NICs and switches to support network traffic with differing
+ requirements (highly reliable, no drops vs. best effort vs. low
+ latency) to co-exist on Ethernet.
+
+ DCB features include:
+ Enhanced Transmission Selection (aka Priority Grouping) - provides a
+ framework for assigning bandwidth guarantees to traffic classes.
+ Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) - a MAC control pause frame which
+ works at the granularity of the 802.1p priority instead of the
+ link (802.3x).
+
+ If unsure, say N.
