ARM: uaccess: fix DACR mismatch with nested exceptions
[ Upstream commit 71f8af1110101facfad68989ff91f88f8e2c3e22 ]
Tomas Paukrt reports that his SAM9X60 based system (ARM926, ARMv5TJ)
fails to fix up alignment faults, eventually resulting in a kernel
oops.
The problem occurs when using CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS with commit
e6978e4bf181 ("ARM: save and reset the address limit when entering an
exception"). This is because the address limit is set back to
TASK_SIZE on exception entry, and, although it is restored on exception
exit, the domain register is not.
Hence, this sequence can occur:
interrupt
pt_regs->addr_limit = addr_limit // USER_DS
addr_limit = USER_DS
alignment exception
__probe_kernel_read()
old_fs = get_fs() // USER_DS
set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
addr_limit = KERNEL_DS
dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_MANAGER
interrupt
pt_regs->addr_limit = addr_limit // KERNEL_DS
addr_limit = USER_DS
alignment exception
__probe_kernel_read()
old_fs = get_fs() // USER_DS
set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
addr_limit = KERNEL_DS
dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_MANAGER
...
set_fs(old_fs)
addr_limit = USER_DS
dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_CLIENT
...
addr_limit = pt_regs->addr_limit // KERNEL_DS
interrupt returns
At this point, addr_limit is correctly restored to KERNEL_DS for
__probe_kernel_read() to continue execution, but dacr.kernel is not,
it has been reset by the set_fs(old_fs) to DOMAIN_CLIENT.
This would not have happened prior to the mentioned commit, because
addr_limit would remain KERNEL_DS, so get_fs() would have returned
KERNEL_DS, and so would correctly nest.
This commit fixes the problem by also saving the DACR on exception
entry if either CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN or CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS are
enabled, and resetting the DACR appropriately on exception entry to
match addr_limit and PAN settings.
