commit 884b4269 upstream. If copy_from_user is called with a large buffer (>= 128 bytes) and the userspace buffer refers partially to unreadable memory, then it is possible for Octeon's copy_from_user to report the wrong number of bytes have been copied. In the case where the buffer size is an exact multiple of 128 and the fault occurs in the last 64 bytes, copy_from_user will report that all the bytes were copied successfully but leave some garbage in the destination buffer. The bug is in the main __copy_user_common loop in octeon-memcpy.S where in the middle of the loop, src and dst are incremented by 128 bytes. The l_exc_copy fault handler is used after this but that assumes that "src < THREAD_BUADDR($28)". This is not the case if src has already been incremented. Fix by adding an extra fault handler which rewinds the src and dst pointers 128 bytes before falling though to l_exc_copy. Thanks to the pwritev test from the strace test suite for originally highlighting this bug! Fixes: 5b3b1688 ("MIPS: Add Cavium OCTEON processor support ...")
