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.

+config SECURITY_LOADPIN_VERITY
+ bool "Allow reading files from certain other filesystems that use dm-verity"
+ depends on SECURITY_LOADPIN && DM_VERITY=y && SECURITYFS
+ help
+ If selected LoadPin can allow reading files from filesystems
+ that use dm-verity. LoadPin maintains a list of verity root
+ digests it considers trusted. A verity backed filesystem is
+ considered trusted if its root digest is found in the list
+ of trusted digests.
+
+ The list of trusted verity can be populated through an ioctl
+ on the LoadPin securityfs entry 'dm-verity'. The ioctl
+ expects a file descriptor of a file with verity digests as
+ parameter. The file must be located on the pinned root and
+ start with the line:
+
+ # LOADPIN_TRUSTED_VERITY_ROOT_DIGESTS
+
+ This is followed by the verity digests, with one digest per
+ line.
