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

RISC-V: Make port I/O string accessors actually work

Fix port I/O string accessors such as `insb', `outsb', etc. which use
the physical PCI port I/O address rather than the corresponding memory
mapping to get at the requested location, which in turn breaks at least
accesses made by our parport driver to a PCIe parallel port such as:

PCI parallel port detected: 1415:c118, I/O at 0x1000(0x1008), IRQ 20
parport0: PC-style at 0x1000 (0x1008), irq 20, using FIFO [PCSPP,TRISTATE,COMPAT,EPP,ECP]

causing a memory access fault:

Unable to handle kernel access to user memory without uaccess routines at virtual address 0000000000001008

For simplicity address the problem by adding PCI_IOBASE to the physical
address requested in the respective wrapper macros only, observing that
the raw accessors such as `__insb', `__outsb', etc. are not supposed to
be used other than by said macros. Remove the cast to `long' that is no
longer needed on `addr' now that it is used as an offset from PCI_IOBASE
and add parentheses around `addr' needed for predictable evaluation in
macro expansion. No need to make said adjustments in separate changes
given that current code is gravely broken and does not ever work.
