Subject: ARM: 6489/1: thumb2: fix incorrect optimisation in usracc
From: Will Deacon <[email protected]>
commit 1142b71d85894dcff1466dd6c871ea3c89e0352c upstream.
Commit 8b592783 added a Thumb-2 variant of usracc which, when it is
called with \rept=2, calls usraccoff once with an offset of 0 and
secondly with a hard-coded offset of 4 in order to avoid incrementing
the pointer again. If \inc != 4 then we will store the data to the wrong
offset from \ptr. Luckily, the only caller that passes \rept=2 to this
function is __clear_user so we haven't been actively corrupting user data.
This patch fixes usracc to pass \inc instead of #4 to usraccoff
when it is called a second time.
