<content type='text'>
The current MIPS implementation of arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is
broken because it attempts to use synchronous IPIs despite the fact that
it may be run with interrupts disabled.

This means that when arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() is invoked, for
example by the RCU CPU stall watchdog, we may:

  - Deadlock due to use of synchronous IPIs with interrupts disabled,
    causing the CPU that's attempting to generate the backtrace output
    to hang itself.

  - Not succeed in generating the desired output from remote CPUs.

  - Produce warnings about this from smp_call_function_many(), for
    example:

This patch switches MIPS' arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace() to use async
IPIs &amp; smp_call_function_single_async() in order to resolve this
problem. We ensure use of the pre-allocated call_single_data_t
structures is serialized by maintaining a cpumask indicating that
they're busy, and refusing to attempt to send an IPI when a CPU's bit is
set in this mask. This should only happen if a CPU hasn't responded to a
previous backtrace IPI - ie. if it's hung - and we print a warning to
the console in this case.

I've marked this for stable branches as far back as v4.9, to which it
applies cleanly. Strictly speaking the faulty MIPS implementation can be
traced further back to commit 856839b76836 ("MIPS: Add
arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() function") in v3.19, but kernel
versions v3.19 through v4.8 will require further work to backport due to
the rework performed in commit 9a01c3ed5cdb ("nmi_backtrace: add more
trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods").

<title>MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()</title>

<content type='text'>
The generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() function calls show_regs() when a struct
pt_regs is available, and dump_stack() otherwise. If we were to make use
of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() with MIPS' current implementation of
show_regs() this would mean that we see only register data with no
accompanying stack information, in contrast with our current
implementation which calls dump_stack() regardless of whether register
state is available.

In preparation for making use of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() to
implement arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(), have our implementation of
show_regs() call dump_stack() and drop the explicit dump_stack() call in
arch_dump_stack() which is invoked by arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace().

This will allow the output we produce to remain the same after a later
patch switches to using nmi_cpu_backtrace(). It may mean that we produce
extra stack output in other uses of show_regs(), but this:

  1) Seems harmless.
  2) Is good for consistency between arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace()
     and other users of show_regs().
  3) Matches the behaviour of the ARM &amp; PowerPC architectures.

Marked for stable back to v4.9 as a prerequisite of the following patch
"MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()".

arch_dump_stack() which is invoked by arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace().

This will allow the output we produce to remain the same after a later
patch switches to using nmi_cpu_backtrace(). It may mean that we produce
extra stack output in other uses of show_regs(), but this:

  1) Seems harmless.
  2) Is good for consistency between arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace()
     and other users of show_regs().
  3) Matches the behaviour of the ARM &amp; PowerPC architectures.

Marked for stable back to v4.9 as a prerequisite of the following patch
"MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()".

<title>Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables</title>

<id>050e9baa9dc9fbd9ce2b27f0056990fc9e0a08a0</id>
<content type='text'>
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.

That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.

HOWEVER.

It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y

and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.

The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one.  This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).

This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

Having PR_FP_MODE_FRE (i.e. Config5.FRE) set without PR_FP_MODE_FR (i.e.
Status.FR) is not supported as the lone purpose of Config5.FRE is to
emulate Status.FR=0 handling on FPU hardware that has Status.FR=1
hardwired[1][2].  Also we do not handle this case elsewhere, and assume
throughout our code that TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS and TIF_32BIT_FPREGS cannot
be set both at once for a task, leading to inconsistent behaviour if
this does happen.

Return unsuccessfully then from prctl(2) PR_SET_FP_MODE calls requesting
PR_FP_MODE_FRE to be set with PR_FP_MODE_FR clear.  This corresponds to
modes allowed by `mips_set_personality_fp'.

<title>MIPS: Validate PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl(2) requests against the ABI of the task</title>

Fix an API loophole introduced with commit 9791554b45a2 ("MIPS,prctl:
add PR_[GS]ET_FP_MODE prctl options for MIPS"), where the caller of
prctl(2) is incorrectly allowed to make a change to CP0.Status.FR or
CP0.Config5.FRE register bits even if CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT has
not been enabled, despite that an executable requesting the mode
requested via ELF file annotation would not be allowed to run in the
first place, or for n64 and n64 ABI tasks which do not have non-default
modes defined at all.  Add suitable checks to `mips_set_process_fp_mode'
and bail out if an invalid mode change has been requested for the ABI in
effect, even if the FPU hardware or emulation would otherwise allow it.

Always succeed however without taking any further action if the mode
requested is the same as one already in effect, regardless of whether
any mode change, should it be requested, would actually be allowed for
the task concerned.

Commit 34c2f668d0f6 ("MIPS: microMIPS: Add unaligned access support.")
added handling of microMIPS instructions to manipulate the stack
pointer. The code that was added violates code style rules with long
lines caused by lots of nested conditionals.

The added code interprets (inline) any known stack pointer manipulation
instruction to find the stack frame size. Handling the microMIPS cases
added quite a bit of complication to this function.

Refactor is_sp_move_ins to perform the interpretation of the immediate
as the instruction manipulating the stack pointer is found. This reduces
the amount of indentation required in get_frame_info, and more closely
matches the operation of is_ra_save_ins.

<title>MIPS: Stacktrace: Fix microMIPS stack unwinding on big endian systems</title>

<id>41885b02127c7ae169dc94542de4a8eed175495a</id>
<content type='text'>
The stack unwinding code uses the mips_instuction union to decode the
instructions it finds. That union uses the __BITFIELD_FIELD macro to
reorder depending on endianness. The stack unwinding code always places
16bit instructions in halfword 1 of the union. This makes the union
accesses correct for little endian systems. Similarly, 32bit
instructions are reordered such that they are correct for little endian
systems. This handling leaves unwinding the stack on big endian systems
broken, as the mips_instruction union will then look for the fields in
the wrong halfword.

To fix this, use a logical shift to place the 16bit instruction into the
correct position in the word field of the union. Use the same shifting
to order the 2 halfwords of 32bit instuctions. Then replace accesses to
the halfword with accesses to the shifted word.
In the case of the ADDIUS5 instruction, switch to using the
mm16_r5_format union member to avoid the need for a 16bit shift.

In the case of the ADDIUS5 instruction, switch to using the
mm16_r5_format union member to avoid the need for a 16bit shift.

When the immediate encoded in the instruction is accessed, it is sign
extended due to being a signed value being assigned to a signed integer.
The ISA specifies that this operation is an unsigned operation.
The sign extension leads us to incorrectly decode:

801e9c8e:       cbf1            sw      ra,68(sp)

As having an immediate of 1073741809.

Since the instruction format does not specify signed/unsigned, and this
is currently the only location to use this instuction format, change it
to an unsigned immediate.
