Subject: CVE-2023-53135: riscv: Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK in imprecise unwinding stack mode

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

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

riscv: Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK in imprecise unwinding stack mode

When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is unset, the stack unwinding function
walk_stackframe randomly reads the stack and then, when KASAN is enabled,
it can lead to the following backtrace:

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
