+Subject: [PATCH] arm64: __clear_user: handle exceptions on strb
+
+ARM64 currently doesn't fix up faults on the single-byte (strb) case of
+__clear_user... which means that we can cause a nasty kernel panic as an
+ordinary user with any multiple PAGE_SIZE+1 read from /dev/zero.
+i.e.: dd if=/dev/zero of=foo ibs=1 count=1 (or ibs=65537, etc.)
+
+This is a pretty obscure bug in the general case since we'll only
+__do_kernel_fault (since there's no extable entry for pc) if the
+mmap_sem is contended. However, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, we'll
+always fault.
+
+if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) {
+	if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->pc))
+		goto no_context;
+retry:
+	down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);
+} else {
+	/*
+	 * The above down_read_trylock() might have succeeded in
+	 * which
+	 * case, we'll have missed the might_sleep() from
+	 * down_read().
+	 */
+	might_sleep();
+#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM
+	if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->pc))
+		goto no_context;
+#endif
+}
+
+Fix that by adding an extable entry for the strb instruction, since it
+touches user memory, similar to the other stores in __clear_user.
