Subject: arm: oabi compat: add missing access checks
From: Dave Weinstein <olorin@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7de249964f5578e67b99699c5f0b405738d820a2 upstream.
Add access checks to sys_oabi_epoll_wait() and sys_oabi_semtimedop().
This fixes CVE-2016-3857, a local privilege escalation under
CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT.
