+Subject: riscv: evaluate put_user() arg before enabling user access
+
+From: Ben Dooks <ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk>
+
+commit 285a76bb2cf51b0c74c634f2aaccdb93e1f2a359 upstream.
+
+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.
