CVE-2026-23346

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

arm64: io: Extract user memory type in ioremap_prot()

The only caller of ioremap_prot() outside of the generic ioremap()
implementation is generic_access_phys(), which passes a 'pgprot_t' value
determined from the user mapping of the target 'pfn' being accessed by
the kernel. On arm64, the 'pgprot_t' contains all of the non-address
bits from the pte, including the permission controls, and so we end up
returning a new user mapping from ioremap_prot() which faults when
accessed from the kernel on systems with PAN:

  | Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address ffff80008ea89000
  | ...
  | Call trace:
  |   __memcpy_fromio+0x80/0xf8
  |   generic_access_phys+0x20c/0x2b8
  |   __access_remote_vm+0x46c/0x5b8
  |   access_remote_vm+0x18/0x30

  |   vfs_read+0xe4/0x2b0

  |   __arm64_sys_read+0x4c/0x68

Extract only the memory type from the user 'pgprot_t' in ioremap_prot()
and assert that we're being passed a user mapping, to protect us against
any changes in future that may require additional handling. To avoid
falsely flagging users of ioremap(), provide our own ioremap() macro
which simply wraps __ioremap_prot().
