[PATCH] ARM: Fix oops at csum_and_copy_from_user()

From: "seokjoo.lee" <seokjoo.lee at lge.com>

fix code corruption by fixup part of csum_partial_copy_from_user()
due to invalid stack offset of err_ptr for CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN.

For a kernel built for arm architecture with CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN,
if an application calls 'sendto' with *invalid parameter* which might
cause fault within csum_paritial_copy_from_user, then the fixup part of
csum_partial_copy_from_user try to overwrite code area stored at 'lr'.
Then, kernel generates oops with undefined instruction 0xfffffff2 at
csum_and_copy_from_iter triggered from the next 'sendto' call.
This behavior is not gracefully returning *err_ptr with -EFAULT value as
designed.

Originally 'save_regs' macro stores 8 registers - (r1, r2, r4 - r8, lr)
and the err_ptr was passed at '[sp, #8*4]'.
Since commit a5e090acbf54 ("ARM: software-based priviledged-no-access
support") introducing CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN, this bug lurks in fixup
part below the screen.
If CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN is defined, the 'save_regs' macro stores 9
registers - '(r1, r2, r4 - r8, ip, lr)' into stack and the err_ptr is
passed at '[sp, #9*4]' instead of '[sp, #8*4]' because of 'ip' register
adopted to save value of Domain Access Control register.
After then, fault handling mechanism triggered by *invalid parameter*
jumps into fixup part of csum_paritial_copy_from_user, regardlessly
stores -EFAULT value to [[sp, #8*4]] which is actually '[lr]'. Finally,
this try to overwrite caller of 'csum_partial_copy_from_user', i.e.
'csum_and_copy_from_iter' - as 0xfffffff2.

Fix by defining ERR_PTR_OFFSET properly within #if block near
'save_regs/load_regs' pair to reduce the chance of mistake, and
by replacing the constant 8 in fixup part with ERR_PTR_OFFSET to deal
with CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN.

A kernel with CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN produces panic as follows.
