ARC: uaccess: get_user to zero out dest in cause of fault
commit 05d9d0b9 upstream. Al reported potential issue with ARC get_user() as it wasn't clearing out destination pointer in case of fault due to bad address etc. Verified using following | { | u32 bogus1 = 0xdeadbeef; | u64 bogus2 = 0xdead; | int rc1, rc2; | | pr_info("Orig values %x %llx\n", bogus1, bogus2); | rc1 = get_user(bogus1, (u32 __user *)0x40000000); | rc2 = get_user(bogus2, (u64 __user *)0x50000000); | pr_info("access %d %d, new values %x %llx\n", | rc1, rc2, bogus1, bogus2); | } | [ARCLinux]# insmod /mnt/kernel-module/qtn.ko | Orig values deadbeef dead | access -14 -14, new values 0 0 Reported-by: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-snps-arc@lists.infradead.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
