4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxx>
commit adcc81f148d733b7e8e641300c5590a2cdc13bf3 upstream.
Mapping the delay slot emulation page as both writeable & executable
presents a security risk, in that if an exploit can write to & jump into
the page then it can be used as an easy way to execute arbitrary code.
Prevent this by mapping the page read-only for userland, and using
access_process_vm() with the FOLL_FORCE flag to write to it from
mips_dsemul().
This will likely be less efficient due to copy_to_user_page() performing
cache maintenance on a whole page, rather than a single line as in the
previous use of flush_cache_sigtramp(). However this delay slot
emulation code ought not to be running in any performance critical paths
anyway so this isn't really a problem, and we can probably do better in
copy_to_user_page() anyway in future.
A major advantage of this approach is that the fix is small & simple to
backport to stable kernels.
