MIPS: Don't crash in stack_top() for tasks without ABI or vDSO

2025-08-28T14:24:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit e9f4a6b3421e936c3ee9d74710243897d74dbaa2 ]

Not all tasks have an ABI associated or vDSO mapped,
for example kthreads never do.
If such a task ever ends up calling stack_top(), it will derefence the
NULL ABI pointer and crash.

This can for example happen when using kunit:

    mips_stack_top+0x28/0xc0
    arch_pick_mmap_layout+0x190/0x220
    kunit_vm_mmap_init+0xf8/0x138
    __kunit_add_resource+0x40/0xa8
    kunit_vm_mmap+0x88/0xd8
    usercopy_test_init+0xb8/0x240
    kunit_try_run_case+0x5c/0x1a8
    kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x28/0x50
    kthread+0x118/0x240
    ret_from_kernel_thread+0x14/0x1c

Only dereference the ABI point if it is set.

The GIC page is also included as it is specific to the vDSO.
Also move the randomization adjustment into the same conditional.

sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked

2025-08-28T14:24:03+00:00

commit 42a20f86dc19f9282d974df0ba4d226c865ab9dd upstream.

Having a stable wchan means the process must be blocked and for it to
stay that way while performing stack unwinding.

MIPS: Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions.

2021-08-05T08:57:01+00:00

The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been
deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to
cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock().

Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version.
The behavior remains unchanged.

MIPS: Remove get_fs/set_fs

2021-04-06T13:12:58+00:00

All get_fs/set_fs calls in MIPS code are gone, so remove implementation
of it.  With the clear separation of user/kernel space access we no
longer need the EVA special handling, so get rid of that, too.

arch: setup PF_IO_WORKER threads like PF_KTHREAD

2021-02-22T00:25:22+00:00

PF_IO_WORKER are kernel threads too, but they aren't PF_KTHREAD in the
sense that we don't assign ->set_child_tid with our own structure. Just
ensure that every arch sets up the PF_IO_WORKER threads like kthreads
in the arch implementation of copy_thread().

MIPS: Add is_jr_ra_ins() to end the loop early

2021-01-25T11:21:23+00:00

For those leaf functions, they are likely to have no stack operations.
Add is_jr_ra_ins() to determine whether jr ra has been touched before
the frame_size is found. Without this patch, the get frame_size operation
may be out of range and get the frame_size from the next nested function.

There is no POOL32A format in uapi/asm/inst.h, so some bits here use the
format of r_format instead.
e.g.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|    format      |  31:26  | 25:21 | 20:16 |    15:6    |    5:0    |
-----------------+---------+-------+-------+------------+------------
| pool32a_format | pool32a |  rt   |  rs   |   jalrc    | pool32axf |
-----------------+---------+-------+-------+------------+------------
|    r_format    |  opcode |  rs   |  rt   | rd:5, re:5 |    func   |

MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handing of function size

2021-01-25T11:21:23+00:00

[1]: Commit b6c7a324df37b ("MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handling of
                            microMIPS function size")
[2]: Commit 2b424cfc69728 ("MIPS: Remove function size check in
                            get_frame_info()")

First patch added a constant to check the number of iterations against.
Second patch fixed the situation that info->func_size is zero.

However, func_size member became useless after the second commit. Without
ip_end, the get frame_size operation may be out of range although KALLSYMS
enabled. Thus, check func_size first. Then make ip_end be the sum of ip
and a constant (512) if func_size is equal to 0. Otherwise make ip_end be
the sum of ip and func_size.
