[PATCH 3.14 03/37] parisc: Fix kernel crash with reversed copy_from_user()

Show all headers | View raw

3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

commit ef72f3110d8b19f4c098a0bff7ed7d11945e70c6 upstream.

The kernel module testcase (lib/test_user_copy.c) exhibited a kernel
crash on parisc if the parameters for copy_from_user were reversed
("illegal reversed copy_to_user" testcase).

Fix this potential crash by checking the fault handler if the faulting
address is in the exception table.
