commit ea1688573426adc2587ed52d086b51c7c62eaca3 upstream.

The MSA ld_*/st_* assembler macros for when the toolchain doesn't
support MSA use addu to offset the base address. However it is a virtual
memory pointer so fix it to use PTR_ADDU which expands to daddu for
64-bit kernels.

commit 8a3c8b48aca8771bff3536e40aa26ffb311699d1 upstream.

In revision 1.12 of the MSA specification, the copy_u.w instruction has
been removed for MIPS32 &amp; the copy_u.d instruction has been removed for
MIPS64. Newer toolchains (eg. Codescape SDK essentials 2015.10) will
complain about this like so:

arch/mips/kernel/r4k_fpu.S:290: Error: opcode not supported on this
processor: mips32r2 (mips32r2) `copy_u.w $1,$w26[3]'

Since we always copy to the width of a GPR, simply use copy_s instead of
copy_u to fix this.

<title>MIPS: Sync icache &amp; dcache in set_pte_at</title>

commit 37d22a0d798b5c938b277d32cfd86dc231381342 upstream.

It's possible for pages to become visible prior to update_mmu_cache
running if a thread within the same address space preempts the current
thread or runs simultaneously on another CPU. That is, the following
scenario is possible:

    CPU0                            CPU1

    write to page
    flush_dcache_page
    flush_icache_page
    set_pte_at
                                    map page
    update_mmu_cache

If CPU1 maps the page in between CPU0's set_pte_at, which marks it valid
&amp; visible, and update_mmu_cache where the dcache flush occurs then CPU1s
icache will fill from stale data (unless it fills from the dcache, in
which case all is good, but most MIPS CPUs don't have this property).
Commit 4d46a67a3eb8 ("MIPS: Fix race condition in lazy cache flushing.")
attempted to fix that by performing the dcache flush in
flush_icache_page such that it occurs before the set_pte_at call makes
the page visible. However it has the problem that not all code that
writes to pages exposed to userland call flush_icache_page. There are
many callers of set_pte_at under mm/ and only 2 of them do call
flush_icache_page. Thus the race window between a page becoming visible
&amp; being coherent between the icache &amp; dcache remains open in some cases.

To illustrate some of the cases, a WARN was added to __update_cache with
this patch applied that triggered in cases where a page about to be
flushed from the dcache was not the last page provided to
flush_icache_page. That is, backtraces were obtained for cases in which
the race window is left open without this patch. The 2 standout examples
follow.

When forking a process:

[   15.271842] [&lt;80417630&gt;] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188
[   15.277274] [&lt;80530394&gt;] copy_page_range+0x56c/0x6ac
[   15.282861] [&lt;8042936c&gt;] copy_process.part.54+0xd40/0x17ac
[   15.289028] [&lt;80429f80&gt;] do_fork+0xe4/0x420
[   15.293747] [&lt;80413808&gt;] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c

When exec'ing an ELF binary:

[   14.445964] [&lt;80417630&gt;] __update_cache+0xcc/0x188
[   14.451369] [&lt;80538d88&gt;] move_page_tables+0x414/0x498
[   14.457075] [&lt;8055d848&gt;] setup_arg_pages+0x220/0x318
[   14.462685] [&lt;805b0f38&gt;] load_elf_binary+0x530/0x12a0
[   14.468374] [&lt;8055ec3c&gt;] search_binary_handler+0xbc/0x214
[   14.474444] [&lt;8055f6c0&gt;] do_execveat_common+0x43c/0x67c
[   14.480324] [&lt;8055f938&gt;] do_execve+0x38/0x44
[   14.485137] [&lt;80413808&gt;] handle_sys+0x128/0x14c

These code paths write into a page, call flush_dcache_page then call
set_pte_at without flush_icache_page inbetween. The end result is that
the icache can become corrupted &amp; userland processes may execute
unexpected or invalid code, typically resulting in a reserved
instruction exception, a trap or a segfault.

Fix this race condition fully by performing any cache maintenance
required to keep the icache &amp; dcache in sync in set_pte_at, before the
page is made valid. This has the added bonus of ensuring the cache
maintenance always happens in one location, rather than being duplicated
in flush_icache_page &amp; update_mmu_cache. It also matches the way other
architectures solve the same problem (see arm, ia64 &amp; powerpc).

commit a7e89326b415b5d81c4b1016fd4a40db861eb58d upstream.

Commit f51246efee2b ("MIPS: Get rid of finish_arch_switch().") moved the
__restore_watch() call from finish_arch_switch() (i.e. after resume()
returns) to before the resume() call in switch_to(). This results in
watchpoints only being restored when a task is descheduled, preventing
the watchpoints from being effective most of the time, except due to
chance before the watchpoints are lazily removed.

Fix the call sequence from switch_to() through to
mips_install_watch_registers() to pass the task_struct pointer of the
next task, instead of using current. This allows the watchpoints for the
next (non-current) task to be restored without reintroducing
finish_arch_switch().

Fix a build regression from commit c9017757c532 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
of vector registers when MSA is first used"):

arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'

traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'

to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.

commit b45bacd2d048f405c7760e5cc9b60dd67708734f upstream.

Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit
(CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer
interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer
interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is
nowhere near CP0_Count.

We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and
kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting
CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer
interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM
user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the
write.

<title>mips: Differentiate between 32 and 64 bit ELF header</title>

Depending on the configuration either the 32 or 64 bit version of
elf_check_arch() is defined. parse_crash_elf{32|64}_headers() does
some basic verification of the ELF header via
vmcore_elf{32|64}_check_arch() which happen to map to elf_check_arch().
Since the implementation 32 and 64 bit version of elf_check_arch()
differ, we use the wrong type:

   In file included from include/linux/elf.h:4:0,
                    from fs/proc/vmcore.c:13:
   fs/proc/vmcore.c: In function 'parse_crash_elf64_headers':
&gt;&gt; arch/mips/include/asm/elf.h:228:23: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
     struct elfhdr *__h = (hdr);     \
                          ^
   include/linux/crash_dump.h:41:37: note: in expansion of macro 'elf_check_arch'
    #define vmcore_elf64_check_arch(x) (elf_check_arch(x) || vmcore_elf_check_arch_cross(x))
                                        ^
   fs/proc/vmcore.c:1015:4: note: in expansion of macro 'vmcore_elf64_check_arch'
      !vmcore_elf64_check_arch(&amp;ehdr) ||
       ^

Therefore, we rather define vmcore_elf{32|64}_check_arch() as a
basic machine check and use it also in binfm_elf?32.c as well.

TASK_SIZE was defined as 0x7fff8000UL which for 64k pages is not a
multiple of the page size.  Somewhere further down the math fails
such that executing an ELF binary fails.

<title>MIPS: Fix FPU disable with preemption</title>

The FPU should not be left enabled after a task context switch. This
isn't usually a problem as the FPU enable bit is updated before
returning to userland, however it can potentially mask kernel bugs, and
in fact KVM assumes it won't happen and won't clear the FPU enable bit
before returning to the guest, which allows the guest to use stale FPU
context.

Interrupts and exceptions save and restore most bits of the CP0 Status
register which contains the FPU enable bit (CU1). When the kernel needs
to enable or disable the FPU (for example due to attempted FPU use by
userland, or the scheduler being invoked) both the actual Status
register and the saved value in the userland context are updated.

However this doesn't work correctly with full kernel preemption enabled,
since the FPU enable bit can be cleared from within an interrupt when
the scheduler is invoked, and only the userland context is updated, not
the interrupt context.

For example:
1) Enter kernel with FPU already enabled, TIF_USEDFPU=1, Status.CU1=1
   saved.
2) Take a timer interrupt while in kernel mode, Status.CU1=1 saved.
3) Timer interrupt invokes scheduler to preempt the task, which clears
   TIF_USEDFPU, disables the FPU in Status register (Status.CU1=0), and
   the value stored in user context from step (1), but not the interrupt
   context from step (2).
4) When the process is scheduled back in again Status.CU1=0.
5) The interrupt context from step (2) is restored, which sets
   Status.CU1=1. So from user context point of view, preemption has
   re-enabled FPU!
6) If the scheduler is invoked again (via preemption or voluntarily)
   before returning to userland, TIF_USEDFPU=0 so the FPU is not
   disabled before the task context switch.
7) The next task resumes from the context switch with FPU enabled!

The restoring of the Status register on return from interrupt/exception
is already selective about which bits to restore, leaving the interrupt
mask bits alone so enabling/disabling of CPU interrupt lines can
persist. Extend this to also leave both the CU1 bit (FPU enable) and the
FR bit (which specifies the FPU mode and gets changed with CU1). This
prevents a stale Status value being restored in step (5) above and
persisting through subsequent context switches.

Also switch to the use of definitions from asm/mipsregs.h while we're at
it.

Since this change also affects the restoration of Status register on the
path back to userland, it increases the sensitivity of the kernel to the
problem of the FPU being left enabled, allowing it to propagate to
userland, therefore a warning is also added to lose_fpu_inatomic() to
point out any future reoccurances before they do any damage.
