MIPS: Fix a typo: s/preset/present/ in r2-to-r6 emulation error message

2017-07-27T22:08:05+00:00

commit 27fe2200dad2de8207a694024a7b9037dff1b280 upstream.

This is a user-visible message, so we want it to be spelled correctly.

MIPS: Send SIGILL for R6 branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-07-27T22:08:05+00:00

commit a60b1a5bf88a250f1a77977c0224e502c901c77b upstream.

Fix:

* commit 8467ca0122e2 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 branch compact
(BC) instruction"),

* commit 84fef630127a ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BALC
instruction"),

* commit 69b9a2fd05a3 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BEQZC and JIC
instructions"),

* commit 28d6f93d201d ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BNEZC and JIALC
instructions"),

* commit c893ce38b265 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BOVC, BEQC and
BEQZALC instructions")

and send SIGILL rather than returning -SIGILL for R6 branch and jump
instructions.  Returning -SIGILL is never correct as the API defines
this function's result upon error to be -EFAULT and a signal actually
issued.

MIPS: Send SIGILL for linked branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-07-27T22:08:05+00:00

commit fef40be6da856afead4177aaa9d869a66fb3381f upstream.

Fix commit 319824eabc3f ("MIPS: kernel: branch: Do not emulate the
branch likelies on MIPS R6") and also send SIGILL rather than returning
-SIGILL for BLTZAL, BLTZALL, BGEZAL and BGEZALL instruction encodings no
longer supported in R6, except where emulated.  Returning -SIGILL is
never correct as the API defines this function's result upon error to be
-EFAULT and a signal actually issued.

MIPS: Rename `sigill_r6' to `sigill_r2r6' in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-07-27T22:08:05+00:00

commit 1f4edde422961397cf4470b347958c13c6a740bb upstream.

Use the more accurate `sigill_r2r6' name for the label used in the case
of sending SIGILL in the absence of the instruction emulator for an
earlier ISA level instruction that has been removed as from the R6 ISA,
so that the `sigill_r6' name is freed for the situation where an R6
instruction is not supposed to be interpreted, because the executing
processor does not support the R6 ISA.

MIPS: Send SIGILL for BPOSGE32 in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-07-27T22:08:05+00:00

commit 7b82c1058ac1f8f8b9f2b8786b1f710a57a870a8 upstream.

Fix commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and
send SIGILL rather than SIGBUS whenever an unimplemented BPOSGE32 DSP
ASE instruction has been encountered in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
as our Reserved Instruction exception handler would in response to an
attempt to actually execute the instruction.  Sending SIGBUS only makes
sense for the unaligned PC case, since moved to `__compute_return_epc'.
Adjust function documentation accordingly, correct formatting and use
`pr_info' rather than `printk' as the other exit path already does.

MIPS: Actually decode JALX in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-07-27T22:08:04+00:00

commit a9db101b735a9d49295326ae41f610f6da62b08c upstream.

Complement commit fb6883e5809c ("MIPS: microMIPS: Support handling of
delay slots.") and actually decode the regular MIPS JALX major
instruction opcode, the handling of which has been added with the said
commit for EPC calculation in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'.

MIPS: Fix bnezc/jialc return address calculation

2017-06-24T05:11:17+00:00

commit 1a73d9310e093fc3adffba4d0a67b9fab2ee3f63 upstream.

The code handling the pop76 opcode (ie. bnezc & jialc instructions) in
__compute_return_epc_for_insn() needs to set the value of $31 in the
jialc case, which is encoded with rs = 0. However its check to
differentiate bnezc (rs != 0) from jialc (rs = 0) was unfortunately
backwards, meaning that if we emulate a bnezc instruction we clobber $31
& if we emulate a jialc instruction it actually behaves like a jic
instruction.

Fix this by inverting the check of rs to match the way the instructions
are actually encoded.

MIPS: tracing: disable uprobe/kprobe on compact branch instructions

2016-10-06T15:37:40+00:00

Current instruction decoder for uprobe/kprobe handler only handles
branches with delay slots. For compact branches the behaviour is rather
unpredictable - and depending on the encoding of a compact branch
instruction may result in one (or more) of:
- executing an instruction that follows a branch which wasn't in a delay
  slot and shouldn't have been executed
- incorrectly emulating a branch leading to a jump to a wrong location
- unexpected branching out of the single-stepped code and never reaching
  the breakpoint that should terminate the probe handler

Results of these actions are generally unpredictable, but can end up
with a probed application or kernel crash, so disable placing probes on
compact branches until they are handled properly.

MIPS: kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.

In the case of the n32/o32 files, we have to get rid of a couple
no-op MODULE_ tags to facilitate the module.h removal.  They piggy
back off the fs/ elf binary support, which is also a bool Kconfig.

MIPS: inst.h: Rename cbcond{0,1}_op to pop{1,3}0_op

2016-07-05T14:09:07+00:00

The opcodes currently defined in inst.h as cbcond0_op & cbcond1_op are
actually defined in the MIPS base instruction set manuals as pop10 &
pop30 respectively. Rename them as such, for consistency with the
documentation.
