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.

+ Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB) is the data link layer (i.e.
+ the lower) part of the X.25 protocol. It offers a reliable
+ connection service to exchange data frames with one other host, and
+ it is used to transport higher level protocols (mostly X.25 Packet
+ Layer, the higher part of X.25, but others are possible as well).
+ Usually, LAPB is used with specialized X.21 network cards, but Linux
+ currently supports LAPB only over Ethernet connections. If you want
+ to use LAPB connections over Ethernet, say Y here and to "LAPB over
+ Ethernet driver" below. Read
+ <file:Documentation/networking/lapb-module.rst> for technical
+ details.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called lapb. If unsure, say N.
