commit 3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309 upstream.

This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value.  The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.

copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.

This fixes the following information leaks:
x86:   8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
       (si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86:   100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
       64-bit process. (si_code = any)

parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process.  These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

commit 1d62d737555e1378eb62a8bba26644f7d97139d2 upstream.

p-&gt;thread.user_cpus_allowed is zero-initialized and is only filled on
the first sched_setaffinity call.

To avoid adding overhead in the task initialization codepath, simply OR
the returned mask in sched_getaffinity with p-&gt;cpus_allowed.

commit 5f35b9cd553fd64415b563497d05a563c988dbd6 upstream.

Commit 334c86c494b9 ("MIPS: IRQ: Add stackoverflow detection") added
kernel stack overflow detection, however it only enabled it conditional
upon the preprocessor definition DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, which is never
actually defined. The Kconfig option is called DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW,
which manifests to the preprocessor as CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, so
switch it to using that definition instead.

commit bcec7c8da6b092b1ff3327fd83c2193adb12f684 upstream.

Get rid of the WANT_COMPAT_REG_H test and instead define both the 32-
and 64-bit register offset definitions at the same time with
MIPS{32,64}_ prefixes, then define the existing EF_* names to the
correct definitions for the kernel's bitness.

This patch is a prerequisite of the following bug fix patch.

commit 3ce465e04bfd8de9956d515d6e9587faac3375dc upstream.

Export the _save_fp asm function used by the lose_fpu(1) macro to GPL
modules so that KVM can make use of it when it is built as a module.

This fixes the following build error when CONFIG_KVM=m due to commit
f798217dfd03 ("KVM: MIPS: Don't leak FPU/DSP to guest"):

ERROR: "_save_fp" [arch/mips/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!

commit c7754e75100ed5e3068ac5085747f2bfc386c8d6 upstream.

As printk() invocation can cause e.g. a TLB miss, printk() cannot be
called before the exception handlers have been properly initialized.
This can happen e.g. when netconsole has been loaded as a kernel module
and the TLB table has been cleared when a CPU was offline.

Call cpu_report() in start_secondary() only after the exception handlers
have been initialized to fix this.

Without the patch the kernel will randomly either lockup or crash
after a CPU is onlined and the console driver is a module.

commit a3e6c1eff54878506b2dddcc202df9cc8180facb upstream.

If the irq_chip does not define .irq_disable, any call to disable_irq
will defer disabling the IRQ until it fires while marked as disabled.
This assumes that the handler function checks for this condition, which
handle_percpu_irq does not. In this case, calling disable_irq leads to
an IRQ storm, if the interrupt fires while disabled.

This optimization is only useful when disabling the IRQ is slow, which
is not true for the MIPS CPU IRQ.

Disable this optimization by implementing .irq_disable and .irq_enable

<title>MIPS: mcount: Adjust stack pointer for static trace in MIPS32</title>

commit 8a574cfa2652545eb95595d38ac2a0bb501af0ae upstream.

Every mcount() call in the MIPS 32-bit kernel is done as follows:

[...]
move at, ra
jal _mcount
addiu sp, sp, -8
[...]

but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer
is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401c797
(MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing).

Commit ad8c396936e3 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.)
fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely
for MIPS32.

but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer
is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401c797
(MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing).

Commit ad8c396936e3 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.)
fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely
for MIPS32.

commit 2e5767a27337812f6850b3fa362419e2f085e5c3 upstream.

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.

<title>MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits</title>

commit b1442d39fac2fcfbe6a4814979020e993ca59c9e upstream.

If one or more matching FCSR cause &amp; enable bits are set in saved thread
context then when that context is restored the kernel will take an FP
exception. This is of course undesirable and considered an oops, leading
to the kernel writing a backtrace to the console and potentially
rebooting depending upon the configuration. Thus the kernel avoids this
situation by clearing the cause bits of the FCSR register when handling
FP exceptions and after emulating FP instructions.

However the kernel does not prevent userland from setting arbitrary FCSR
cause &amp; enable bits via ptrace, using either the PTRACE_POKEUSR or
PTRACE_SETFPREGS requests. This means userland can trivially cause the
kernel to oops on any system with an FPU. Prevent this from happening
by clearing the cause bits when writing to the saved FCSR context via
ptrace.

This problem appears to exist at least back to the beginning of the git
era in the PTRACE_POKEUSR case.
