[PATCH] x86/nmi: Fix some races in NMI uaccess
From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Mon Aug 27 2018 - 19:04:24 EST
In NMI context, we might be in the middle of context switching or in
the middle of switch_mm_irqs_off(). In either case, CR3 might not
match current->mm, which could cause copy_from_user_nmi() and
friends to read the wrong memory.
Fix it by adding a new nmi_uaccess_okay() helper and checking it in
copy_from_user_nmi() and in __copy_from_user_nmi()'s callers.

The 0day bot is still chewing on this, but I've tested it a bit locally
and it seems to do the right thing.
I've never observed the bug it fixes, but it does appear to fix a bug
unless I've missed something. It's also a prerequisite for Nadav's
fixmap bugfix.
