MIPS: reserve exception vector space ONLY ONCE

2024-03-01T12:21:44+00:00

[ Upstream commit abcabb9e30a1f9a69c76776f8abffc31c377b542 ]

"cpu_probe" is called both by BP and APs, but reserving exception vector
(like 0x0-0x1000) called by "cpu_probe" need once and calling on APs is
too late since memblock is unavailable at that time.

So, reserve exception vector ONLY by BP.

exit: Add and use make_task_dead.

2023-02-01T07:27:20+00:00

commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

MIPS: fix fortify panic when copying asm exception handlers

2022-04-13T18:59:08+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.

arch/mips/kernel/traps: use vma_lookup() instead of find_vma()

2021-06-29T17:53:51+00:00

Use vma_lookup() to find the VMA at a specific address.  As vma_lookup()
will return NULL if the address is not within any VMA, the start address
no longer needs to be validated.

MIPS: uaccess: Remove get_fs/set_fs call sites

2021-04-06T12:36:56+00:00

Use new helpers to access user/kernel for functions, which are used with
user/kernel pointers. Instead of dealing with get_fs/set_fs select
user/kernel access via parameter.

MIPS: kernel: Reserve exception base early to prevent corruption

2021-03-09T10:22:59+00:00

BMIPS is one of the few platforms that do change the exception base.
After commit 2dcb39645441 ("memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations
with kernel_end") we started seeing BMIPS boards fail to boot with the
built-in FDT being corrupted.

Before the cited commit, early allocations would be in the [kernel_end,
RAM_END] range, but after commit they would be within [RAM_START +
PAGE_SIZE, RAM_END].

The custom exception base handler that is installed by
bmips_ebase_setup() done for BMIPS5000 CPUs ends-up trampling on the
memory region allocated by unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() thus
corrupting the FDT used by the kernel.

To fix this, we need to perform an early reservation of the custom
exception space. Additional we reserve the first 4k (1k for R3k) for
either normal exception vector space (legacy CPUs) or special vectors
like cache exceptions.

Huge thanks to Serge for analysing and proposing a solution to this
issue.

MIPS: Loongson-3: Enable COP2 usage in kernel

2020-09-21T20:15:03+00:00

Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel
mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions)
overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/
gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel.

Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel,
which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try
to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2,
which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context
switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2
in its THERAD_STATUS probably.

For zboot, we disable gslq/gssq be generated by toolchain.

MIPS: add missing MSACSR and upper MSA initialization

2020-09-03T10:00:03+00:00

In cc97ab235f3f ("MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization), init_fp_ctx
just initialize the fp/msa context, and own_fp_inatomic just restore
FCSR and 64bit FP regs from it, but miss MSACSR and upper MSA regs for
MSA, so MSACSR and MSA upper regs's value from previous task on current
cpu can leak into current task and cause unpredictable behavior when MSA
context not initialized.
