Russell King 71f8af1110 ARM: uaccess: fix DACR mismatch with nested exceptions 
Tomas Paukrt reports that his SAM9X60 based system (ARM926, ARMv5TJ)
fails to fix up alignment faults, eventually resulting in a kernel
oops.

The problem occurs when using CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS with commit
e6978e4bf1 ("ARM: save and reset the address limit when entering an
exception").  This is because the address limit is set back to
TASK_SIZE on exception entry, and, although it is restored on exception
exit, the domain register is not.

Hence, this sequence can occur:

  interrupt
    pt_regs->addr_limit = addr_limit		// USER_DS
    addr_limit = USER_DS
    alignment exception
    __probe_kernel_read()
      old_fs = get_fs()				// USER_DS
      set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
        addr_limit = KERNEL_DS
        dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_MANAGER
        interrupt
          pt_regs->addr_limit = addr_limit	// KERNEL_DS
          addr_limit = USER_DS
          alignment exception
          __probe_kernel_read()
            old_fs = get_fs()			// USER_DS
            set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
              addr_limit = KERNEL_DS
              dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_MANAGER
            ...
            set_fs(old_fs)
              addr_limit = USER_DS
              dacr.kernel = DOMAIN_CLIENT
          ...
          addr_limit = pt_regs->addr_limit	// KERNEL_DS
        interrupt returns

At this point, addr_limit is correctly restored to KERNEL_DS for
__probe_kernel_read() to continue execution, but dacr.kernel is not,
it has been reset by the set_fs(old_fs) to DOMAIN_CLIENT.

This would not have happened prior to the mentioned commit, because
addr_limit would remain KERNEL_DS, so get_fs() would have returned
KERNEL_DS, and so would correctly nest.

This commit fixes the problem by also saving the DACR on exception
entry if either CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN or CONFIG_CPU_USE_DOMAINS are
enabled, and resetting the DACR appropriately on exception entry to
match addr_limit and PAN settings.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
