commit 6eae35485b26f9e51ab896eb8a936bed9908fdf6 upstream.

When emulating a regular lh/lw/lhu/sh/sw we need to use the appropriate
instruction if we are in EVA mode. This is necessary for userspace
applications which trigger alignment exceptions. In such case, the
userspace load/store instruction needs to be emulated with the correct
eva/non-eva instruction by the kernel emulator.

commit 3563c32d6532ece53c9dd8905a8e41983ef9952f upstream.

It's best to surround such complex macros with do {} while statements
so they can appear as independent logical blocks when used within other
control blocks.

commit eeb538950367e3966cbf0237ab1a1dc30e059818 upstream.

Commit c1771216ab48 ("MIPS: kernel: unaligned: Handle unaligned
accesses for EVA") allowed unaligned accesses to be emulated for
EVA. However, when emulating regular load/store unaligned accesses,
we need to use the appropriate "address space" instructions for that.
Previously, an unaligned load/store instruction in kernel space would
have used the corresponding EVA instructions to emulate it which led to
segmentation faults because of the address translation that happens
with EVA instructions. This is now fixed by using the EVA instruction
only when emulating EVA unaligned accesses.

The load/store unaligned instructions have been removed in MIPS R6
so we need to re-implement the related macros using the regular
load/store instructions. Moreover, the load/store from coprocessor 2
instructions have been reallocated in Release 6 so we will handle them
in the emulator instead.

<title>MIPS: Remove BUG_ON(!is_fpu_owner()) in do_ade()</title>
<updated>2014-07-30T19:30:22+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=2e5767a27337812f6850b3fa362419e2f085e5c3'/>
<id>2e5767a27337812f6850b3fa362419e2f085e5c3</id>
<content type='text'>
In do_ade(), is_fpu_owner() isn't preempt-safe. For example, when an
unaligned ldc1 is executed, do_cpu() is called and then FPU will be
enabled (and TIF_USEDFPU will be set for the current process). Then,
do_ade() is called because the access is unaligned.  If the current
process is preempted at this time, TIF_USEDFPU will be cleard.  So when
the process is scheduled again, BUG_ON(!is_fpu_owner()) is triggered.

This small program can trigger this BUG in a preemptible kernel:

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        double u64[2];

        while (1) {
                asm volatile (
                        ".set push \n\t"
                        ".set noreorder \n\t"
                        "ldc1 $f3, 4(%0) \n\t"
                        ".set pop \n\t"
                        ::"r"(u64):
                );
        }

        return 0;
}

V2: Remove the BUG_ON() unconditionally due to Paul's suggestion.
