Subject: [RFC PATCH] PCI: imx6: Handle the abort from user-space

From: Jason Liu <[email protected]>

The driver install one hook to handle the external abort, but issue
is that if the abort introduced from user space code, the following
code unsigned long instr = *(unsigned long *)pc; which will created
another data-abort(page domain fault) if CONFIG_CPU_SW_DOMAIN_PAN.

The patch does not intent to use copy_from_user and then do the hack
due to the security consideration. In fact, we can just return and
report the external abort to user-space.

We have this patch from NXP downstream kernel [1] in our kernel branch [2]
since a long time, to me it would make sense to upstream it. Any concern?

I'm not sure how userspace would be able to trigger this abort. Maybe
invalid access to a device cfg space via sysfs?

However the patch seems to do the right thing in that case.

It should be <linux/ptrace.h> instead, for using user_mode().
