MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode

2016-06-08T01:23:32+00:00

commit 81a76d7119f63c359750e4adeff922a31ad1135f upstream.

When showing backtraces in response to traps, for example crashes and
address errors (usually unaligned accesses) when they are set in debugfs
to be reported, unwind_stack will be used if the PC was in the kernel
text address range. However since EVA it is possible for user and kernel
address ranges to overlap, and even without EVA userland can still
trigger an address error by jumping to a KSeg0 address.

Adjust the check to also ensure that it was running in kernel mode. I
don't believe any harm can come of this problem, since unwind_stack() is
sufficiently defensive, however it is only meant for unwinding kernel
code, so to be correct it should use the raw backtracing instead.

MIPS: MSA: Fix a link error on `_init_msa_upper' with older GCC

2016-06-08T01:23:32+00:00

commit e49d38488515057dba8f0c2ba4cfde5be4a7281f upstream.

Fix a build regression from commit c9017757c532 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
of vector registers when MSA is first used"):

arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'

to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.

MIPS: traps.c: Verify the ISA for microMIPS RDHWR emulation

2016-04-04T13:25:34+00:00

Make sure it's the microMIPS rather than MIPS16 ISA before emulating
microMIPS RDHWR.  Mostly needed as an optimisation for configurations
where `cpu_has_mmips' is hardcoded to 0 and also a good measure in case
we add further microMIPS instructions to emulate in the future, as the
corresponding MIPS16 encoding is ADDIUSP, not supposed to trap.

MIPS: traps: Correct the SIGTRAP debug ABI in `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp'

2016-04-03T10:32:09+00:00

Follow our own rules set in  for SIGTRAP signals issued
from `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp' by setting the signal code to
TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRKPT respectively, for Watch exceptions and for
those Breakpoint exceptions whose originating BREAK instruction's code
does not have a special meaning.  Keep Trap exceptions unaffected as
these are not debug events.

No existing user software is expected to examine signal codes for these
signals as SI_KERNEL has been always used here.  This change makes the
MIPS port more like other Linux ports, which reduces the complexity and
provides for performance improvement in GDB.

MIPS: traps: Fix SIGFPE information leak from `do_ov' and `do_trap_or_bp'

2016-03-04T21:52:32+00:00

Avoid sending a partially initialised `siginfo_t' structure along SIGFPE
signals issued from `do_ov' and `do_trap_or_bp', leading to information
leaking from the kernel stack.

MIPS: traps.c: Correct microMIPS RDHWR emulation

2016-02-02T01:16:29+00:00

Fix the code to fetch and decode the whole 32-bit instruction.  This
only really matters with the `noulri' kernel parameter as all microMIPS
processors are supposed to have all the hardware registers we support.

MIPS: traps.c: Don't emulate RDHWR in the CpU #0 exception handler

2016-02-02T01:16:11+00:00

In the regular MIPS instruction set RDHWR is encoded with the SPECIAL3
(011111) major opcode.  Therefore it cannot trigger the CpU (Coprocessor
Unusable) exception, and certainly not for coprocessor 0, as the opcode
does not overlap with any of the older ISA reservations, i.e. LWC0
(110000), SWC0 (111000), LDC0 (110100) or SDC0 (111100).  The closest
match might be SDC3 (111111), possibly causing a CpU #3 exception,
however our code does not handle it anyway.  A quick check with a MIPS I
and a MIPS III processor:

CPU0 revision is: 00000220 (R3000)
CPU0 revision is: 00000440 (R4400SC)

indeed indicates that the RI (Reserved Instruction) exception is
triggered.  It's only LL and SC that require emulation in the CpU #0
exception handler as they reuse the LWC0 and SWC0 opcodes respectively.

In the microMIPS instruction set RDHWR is mandatory and triggering the
RI exception is required on unimplemented or disabled register accesses.
Therefore emulating the microMIPS instruction in the CpU #0 exception
handler is not required either.

MIPS: Use EXCCODE_ constants with set_except_vector()

2016-01-24T02:28:21+00:00

The first argument to set_except_vector is the ExcCode, which we now
have definitions for. Lets make use of them.
