commit b63e132b6433a41cf311e8bc382d33fd2b73b505 upstream.

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:

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

commit 5a267832c2ec47b2dad0fdb291a96bb5b8869315 upstream.

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()".

commit 5a267832c2ec47b2dad0fdb291a96bb5b8869315 upstream.

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()".

<title>MIPS: prctl: Disallow FRE without FR with PR_SET_FP_MODE requests</title>

commit 28e4213dd331e944e7fca1954a946829162ed9d4 upstream.

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>

commit b67336eee3fcb8ecedc6c13e2bf88aacfa3151e2 upstream.

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 a00eeede507c975087b7b8df8cf2c9f88ba285de upstream.

If a secondary CPU failed to start, for any reason, the CPU requesting
the secondary to start would get stuck in the loop waiting for the
secondary to be present in the cpu_callin_map.

Rather than that, use a completion event to signal that the secondary
CPU has started and is waiting to synchronise counters.

Since the CPU presence will no longer be marked in cpu_callin_map,
remove the redundant test from arch_cpu_idle_dead().

<title>MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task stack</title>

[ Upstream commit db8466c581cca1a08b505f1319c3ecd246f16fa8 ]

When the separate IRQ stack was introduced, stack unwinding only
proceeded as far as the top of the IRQ stack, leading to kernel
backtraces being less useful, lacking the trace of what was interrupted.

Fix this by providing a means for the kernel to unwind the IRQ stack
onto the interrupted task stack. The processor state is saved to the
kernel task stack on interrupt. The IRQ_STACK_START macro reserves an
unsigned long at the top of the IRQ stack where the interrupted task
stack pointer can be saved. After the active stack is switched to the
IRQ stack, save the interrupted tasks stack pointer to the reserved
location.

Fix the stack unwinding code to look for the frame being the top of the
IRQ stack and if so get the next frame from the saved location. The
existing test does not work with the separate stack since the ra is no
longer pointed at ret_from_{irq,exception}.

The test to stop unwinding the stack 32 bytes from the top of a stack
must be modified to allow unwinding to continue up to the location of
the saved task stack pointer when on the IRQ stack. The low / high marks
of the stack are set depending on whether the sp is on an irq stack or
not.

commit 096a0de427ea333f56f0ee00328cff2a2731bcf1 upstream.

is_jump_ins() checks for plain jump ("j") instructions since commit
e7438c4b893e ("MIPS: Fix sibling call handling in get_frame_info") but
that commit didn't make the same change to the microMIPS code, leaving
it inconsistent with the MIPS32/MIPS64 code. Handle the microMIPS
encoding of the jump instruction too such that it behaves consistently.

<title>MIPS: Calculate microMIPS ra properly when unwinding the stack</title>

commit bb9bc4689b9c635714fbcd5d335bad9934a7ebfc upstream.

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a
stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction,
treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works
for MIPS32 &amp; MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's
incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we
typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS.

Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address
offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in
the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the
ra/$31 register.

With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the
microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce:

    Call Trace:
    [&lt;80109e1f&gt;] show_stack+0x63/0x7c
    [&lt;8011ea17&gt;] __warn+0x9b/0xac

    [&lt;8066c4f3&gt;] start_kernel+0x57/0x328
    ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

Whereas previously we only produced:

    Call Trace:
    [&lt;80109e1f&gt;] show_stack+0x63/0x7c
    ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

commit 67c75057709a6d85c681c78b9b2f9b71191f01a2 upstream.

is_jump_ins() checks 16b instruction fields without verifying that the
instruction is indeed 16b, as is done by is_ra_save_ins() &amp;
is_sp_move_ins(). Add the appropriate check.
