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.

<title>MIPS: Use copy_s.fmt rather than copy_u.fmt</title>

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: traps: Correct the SIGTRAP debug ABI in `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp'</title>

Follow our own rules set in &lt;asm/siginfo.h&gt; for SIGTRAP signals issued
from `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp' by setting the signal code to
TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRKPT respectively, for Watch exceptions and for
those Breakpoint exceptions whose originating BREAK instruction's code
does not have a special meaning.  Keep Trap exceptions unaffected as
these are not debug events.

No existing user software is expected to examine signal codes for these
signals as SI_KERNEL has been always used here.  This change makes the
MIPS port more like other Linux ports, which reduces the complexity and
provides for performance improvement in GDB.

<title>MIPS: cpu_name_string: Use raw_smp_processor_id().</title>

If cpu_name_string() is used in non-atomic context when preemption is
enabled, it can trigger a BUG such as this one:

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: unaligned/156

CPU: 2 PID: 156 Comm: unaligned Tainted: G        W       4.3.0-00366-ga3592179816d-dirty #1501

[&lt;ffffffff80105b84&gt;] resume_userspace_check+0x0/0x10

This is possible because cpu_name_string() is used by __show_regs(),
which is used by both show_regs() and show_registers(). These two
functions are used by various exception handling functions, only some of
which ensure that interrupts or preemption is disabled.

However the following have interrupts explicitly enabled or not
explicitly disabled:
- do_reserved() (irqs enabled)
- do_ade() (irqs not disabled)

This can be hit by setting /sys/kernel/debug/mips/unaligned_action to 2,
and triggering an address error exception, e.g. an unaligned access or
access to kernel segment from user mode.

To fix the above cases, use raw_smp_processor_id() instead. It is
unusual for CPU names to be different in the same system, and even if
they were, its possible the process has migrated between the exception
of interest and the cpu_name_string() call anyway.
