MIPS: fix fortify panic when copying asm exception handlers

2022-04-20T07:06:42+00:00

[ Upstream commit d17b66417308996e7e64b270a3c7f3c1fbd4cfc8 ]

With KCFLAGS="-O3", I was able to trigger a fortify-source
memcpy() overflow panic on set_vi_srs_handler().
Although O3 level is not supported in the mainline, under some
conditions that may've happened with any optimization settings,
it's just a matter of inlining luck. The panic itself is correct,
more precisely, 50/50 false-positive and not at the same time.
From the one side, no real overflow happens. Exception handler
defined in asm just gets copied to some reserved places in the
memory.
But the reason behind is that C code refers to that exception
handler declares it as `char`, i.e. something of 1 byte length.
It's obvious that the asm function itself is way more than 1 byte,
so fortify logics thought we are going to past the symbol declared.
The standard way to refer to asm symbols from C code which is not
supposed to be called from C is to declare them as
`extern const u8[]`. This is fully correct from any point of view,
as any code itself is just a bunch of bytes (including 0 as it is
for syms like _stext/_etext/etc.), and the exact size is not known
at the moment of compilation.
Adjust the type of the except_vec_vi_*() and related variables.
Make set_handler() take `const` as a second argument to avoid
cast-away warnings and give a little more room for optimization.

MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence for DSPen

2020-07-09T07:35:56+00:00

commit fcec538ef8cca0ad0b84432235dccd9059c8e6f8 upstream.

This resolves the hazard between the mtc0 in the change_c0_status() and
the mfc0 in configure_exception_vector(). Without resolving this hazard
configure_exception_vector() could read an old value and would restore
this old value again. This would revert the changes change_c0_status()
did. I checked this by printing out the read_c0_status() at the end of
per_cpu_trap_init() and the ST0_MX is not set without this patch.

The hazard is documented in the MIPS Architecture Reference Manual Vol.
III: MIPS32/microMIPS32 Privileged Resource Architecture (MD00088), rev
6.03 table 8.1 which includes:

   Producer | Consumer | Hazard
  ----------|----------|----------------------------
   mtc0     | mfc0     | any coprocessor 0 register

I saw this hazard on an Atheros AR9344 rev 2 SoC with a MIPS 74Kc CPU.
There the change_c0_status() function would activate the DSPen by
setting ST0_MX in the c0_status register. This was reverted and then the
system got a DSP exception when the DSP registers were saved in
save_dsp() in the first process switch. The crash looks like this:

[    0.089999] Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
[    0.097796] Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
[    0.107070] Kernel panic - not syncing: Unexpected DSP exception
[    0.113470] Rebooting in 1 seconds..

We saw this problem in OpenWrt only on the MIPS 74Kc based Atheros SoCs,
not on the 24Kc based SoCs. We only saw it with kernel 5.4 not with
kernel 4.19, in addition we had to use GCC 8.4 or 9.X, with GCC 8.3 it
did not happen.

In the kernel I bisected this problem to commit 9012d011660e ("compiler:
allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), but when this was
reverted it also happened after commit 172dcd935c34b ("MIPS: Always
allocate exception vector for MIPSr2+").

Commit 0b24cae4d535 ("MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.")
does similar changes to a different file. I am not sure if there are
more places affected by this problem.

MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()

2018-07-17T09:37:51+00:00

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 & PowerPC architectures.

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

MIPS: traps: Ensure L1 & L2 ECC checking match for CM3 systems

2017-11-21T08:23:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 35e6de38858f59b6b65dcfeaf700b5d06fc2b93d ]

On systems with CM3, we must ensure that the L1 & L2 ECC enables are set
to the same value. This is presumed by the hardware & cache corruption
can occur when it is not the case. Support enabling & disabling the L2
ECC checking on CM3 systems where this is controlled via a GCR, and
ensure that it matches the state of L1 ECC checking. Remove I6400 from
the switch statement it will no longer hit, and which was incorrect
since the L2 ECC enable bit isn't in the CP0 ErrCtl register.

MIPS: Avoid accidental raw backtrace

2017-07-05T12:40:17+00:00

commit 854236363370995a609a10b03e35fd3dc5e9e4a1 upstream.

Since commit 81a76d7119f6 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with
usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when
cp0_status & ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels
where user and kernel address spaces overlap.

However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on
the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths.
This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer
depending on the previous stack content.

show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so
explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure
we get a useful backtrace.

MIPS: Check TLB before handle_ri_rdhwr() for Loongson-3

2017-04-12T10:41:14+00:00

commit 5a34133167dce36666ea054e30a561b7f4413b7f upstream.

Loongson-3's micro TLB (ITLB) is not strictly a subset of JTLB. That
means: when a JTLB entry is replaced by hardware, there may be an old
valid entry exists in ITLB. So, a TLB miss exception may occur while
handle_ri_rdhwr() is running because it try to access EPC's content.
However, handle_ri_rdhwr() doesn't clear EXL, which makes a TLB Refill
exception be treated as a TLB Invalid exception and tlbp may fail. In
this case, if FTLB (which is usually set-associative instead of set-
associative) is enabled, a tlbp failure will cause an invalid tlbwi,
which will hang the whole system.

This patch rename handle_ri_rdhwr_vivt to handle_ri_rdhwr_tlbp and use
it for Loongson-3. It try to solve the same problem described as below,
but more straightforwards.

https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12591/

I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just
keep it as is.

MIPS: Fix FCSR Cause bit handling for correct SIGFPE issue

2016-11-04T00:28:41+00:00

Sanitize FCSR Cause bit handling, following a trail of past attempts:

* commit 4249548454f7 ("MIPS: ptrace: Fix FP context restoration FCSR
regression"),

* commit 443c44032a54 ("MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after
emulation"),

* commit 64bedffe4968 ("MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after
notify_die()"),

* commit b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause
bits"),

* commit b54d2901517d ("Properly handle branch delay slots in connection
with signals.").

Specifically do not mask these bits out in ptrace(2) processing and send
a SIGFPE signal instead whenever a matching pair of an FCSR Cause and
Enable bit is seen as execution of an affected context is about to
resume.  Only then clear Cause bits, and even then do not clear any bits
that are set but masked with the respective Enable bits.  Adjust Cause
bit clearing throughout code likewise, except within the FPU emulator
proper where they are set according to IEEE 754 exceptions raised as the
operation emulated executed.  Do so so that any IEEE 754 exceptions
subject to their default handling are recorded like with operations
executed by FPU hardware.
