MIPS: HTW: Prevent accidental HTW start due to nested htw_{start, stop}

2015-03-06T22:53:01+00:00

commit ed4cbc81addbc076b016c5b979fd1a02f0897f0a upstream.

activate_mm() and switch_mm() call get_new_mmu_context() which in turn
can enable the HTW before the entryhi is changed with the new ASID.
Since the latter will enable the HTW in local_flush_tlb_all(),
then there is a small timing window where the HTW is running with the
new ASID but with an old pgd since the TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP_PGD
hasn't assigned a new one yet. In order to prevent that, we introduce a
simple htw counter to avoid starting HTW accidentally due to nested
htw_{start,stop}() sequences. Moreover, since various IPI calls can
enforce TLB flushing operations on a different core, such an operation
may interrupt another htw_{stop,start} in progress leading inconsistent
updates of the htw_seq variable. In order to avoid that, we disable the
interrupts whenever we update that variable.

MIPS: Export MSA functions used by lose_fpu(1) for KVM

2015-03-06T22:52:55+00:00

commit ca5d25642e212f73492d332d95dc90ef46a0e8dc upstream.

Export the _save_msa 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 and
CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA=y due to commit f798217dfd03 ("KVM: MIPS: Don't leak
FPU/DSP to guest"):

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

MIPS: kernel: cps-vec: Replace "addi" with "addiu"

2015-03-06T22:52:54+00:00

commit acac4108df6029c03195513ead7073bbb0cb9718 upstream.

The "addi" instruction will trap on overflows which is not something
we need in this code, so we replace that with "addiu".

MIPS: traps: Fix inline asm ctc1 missing .set hardfloat

2015-02-11T07:00:52+00:00

commit d76e9b9fc5de7e8fc4fd0e72a94e8c723929ffea upstream.

Commit 842dfc11ea9a ("MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+") in v3.18
enabled -msoft-float and sprinkled ".set hardfloat" where necessary to
use FP instructions. However it missed enable_restore_fp_context() which
since v3.17 does a ctc1 with inline assembly, causing the following
assembler errors on Mentor's 2014.05 toolchain:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2913: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips32r2 (mips32r2) `ctc1 $2,$31'
scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'arch/mips/kernel/traps.o' failed

Fix that to use the new write_32bit_cp1_register() macro so that ".set
hardfloat" is automatically added when -msoft-float is in use.

MIPS: Fix kernel lockup or crash after CPU offline/online

2015-02-11T07:00:52+00:00

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.

MIPS: IRQ: Fix disable_irq on CPU IRQs

2015-02-11T07:00:51+00:00

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

MIPS: Fix address type used for early memory detection.

2014-11-24T06:44:07+00:00

In 'early_parse_mem' the data type used for the start
and size of a memory region specified on the command line
is incorrect. If 64-bit addressing is used, the value
gets truncated.

MIPS: fix EVA & non-SMP non-FPU FP context signal handling

2014-11-24T06:44:06+00:00

The save_fp_context & restore_fp_context pointers were being assigned
to the wrong variables if either:

  - The kernel is configured for UP & runs on a system without an FPU,
    since b2ead5282885 "MIPS: Move & rename
    fpu_emulator_{save,restore}_context".

  - The kernel is configured for EVA, since ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel:
    signal: Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory".

This would lead to FP context being clobbered incorrectly when setting
up a sigcontext, then the garbage values being saved uselessly when
returning from the signal.

Fix by swapping the pointer assignments appropriately.
