riscv: evaluate put_user() arg before enabling user access
The <asm/uaccess.h> header has a problem with put_user(a, ptr) if the 'a' is not a simple variable, such as a function. This can lead to the compiler producing code as so: 1: enable_user_access() 2: evaluate 'a' into register 'r' 3: put 'r' to 'ptr' 4: disable_user_acess() The issue is that 'a' is now being evaluated with the user memory protections disabled. So we try and force the evaulation by assigning 'x' to __val at the start, and hoping the compiler barriers in enable_user_access() do the job of ordering step 2 before step 1. This has shown up in a bug where 'a' sleeps and thus schedules out and loses the SR_SUM flag. This isn't sufficient to fully fix, but should reduce the window of opportunity. The first instance of this we found is in scheudle_tail() where the code does: $ less -N kernel/sched/core.c 4263 if (current->set_child_tid) 4264 put_user(task_pid_vnr(current), current->set_child_tid); Here, the task_pid_vnr(current) is called within the block that has enabled the user memory access. This can be made worse with KASAN which makes task_pid_vnr() a rather large call with plenty of opportunity to sleep.
