Subject: MIPS: MSC: Prevent out-of-bounds writes to MIPS SC ioremap'd region
From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit ab6c15bc6620ebe220970cc040b29bcb2757f373 upstream.
Previously, the lower limit for the MIPS SC initialization loop was
set incorrectly allowing one extra loop leading to writes
beyond the MSC ioremap'd space. More precisely, the value of the 'imp'
in the last loop increased beyond the msc_irqmap_t boundaries and
as a result of which, the 'n' variable was loaded with an incorrect
value. This value was used later on to calculate the offset in the
MSC01_IC_SUP which led to random crashes like the following one:
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e75c0200,
epc == 8058dba4, ra == 8058db90
[...]
Call Trace:
[<8058dba4>] init_msc_irqs+0x104/0x154
[<8058b5bc>] arch_init_irq+0xd8/0x154
