Subject[PATCH 3.10 134/143] ARM: 7748/1: oabi: handle faults when loading swi instruction from userspace
Date
3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>

commit 1aa2b3b7a6c4f3dbd3671171113a20e6a6190e3b upstream.

Running an OABI_COMPAT kernel on an SMP platform can lead to fun and
games with page aging.

If one CPU issues a swi instruction immediately before another CPU
decides to mkold the page containing the swi instruction, then we will
fault attempting to load the instruction during the vector_swi handler
in order to retrieve its immediate field. Since this fault is not
currently dealt with by our exception tables, this results in a panic:

Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 4020841c
pgd = c490c000
[4020841c] *pgd=84451831, *pte=bf05859d, *ppte=00000000
Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM
Modules linked in: hid_sony(O)
CPU: 1 Tainted: G W O (3.4.0-perf-gf496dca-01162-gcbcc62b #1)
PC is at vector_swi+0x28/0x88
LR is at 0x40208420

This patch wraps all of the swi instruction loads with the USER macro
and provides a shared exception table entry which simply rewinds the
saved user PC and returns from the system call (without setting tbl, so
there's no worries with tracing or syscall restarting). Returning to
userspace will re-enter the page fault handler, from where we will
probably send SIGSEGV to the current task.
