Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

The early versions of our kernel user access prevention (KUAP) were written by Russell and Christophe, and didn't have separate read/write access. At some point I picked up the series and added the read/write access, but I failed to update the usages in futex.h to correctly allow read and write. However we didn't notice because of another bug which was causing the low-level code to always enable read and write. That bug was fixed recently in commit 1d8f739b ("powerpc/kuap: Fix set direction in allow/prevent_user_access()"). futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is passed the user address as %3 and does: 1: lwarx %1, 0, %3 cmpw 0, %1, %4 bne- 3f 2: stwcx. %5, 0, %3 Which clearly loads and stores from/to %3. The logic in arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser() is similar, so fix both of them to use allow_read_write_user(). Without this fix, and with PPC_KUAP_DEBUG=y, we see eg: Bug: Read fault blocked by AMR!
