commit 547da673173de51f73887377eb275304775064ad upstream.

Fix a commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view.")
regression, then activated by commit 6a9c001b7ec3 ("MIPS: Switch ELF
core dumper to use regsets.)", that caused n32 processes to dump o32
core files by failing to set the EF_MIPS_ABI2 flag in the ELF core file
header's `e_flags' member:

$ file tls-core
tls-core: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, N32 MIPS64 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), [...]
$ ./tls-core
Aborted (core dumped)
$ file core
core: ELF 32-bit MSB core file MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style
$

Previously the flag was set as the result of a:

statement placed in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elfn32.c, however in the
regset case, i.e. when CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set, ELF_CORE_EFLAGS is
no longer used by `fill_note_info' in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and instead the
`-&gt;e_flags' member of the regset view chosen is.  We have the views
defined in arch/mips/kernel/ptrace.c, however only an o32 and an n64
one, and the latter is used for n32 as well.  Consequently an o32 core
file is incorrectly dumped from n32 processes (the ELF32 vs ELF64 class
is chosen elsewhere, and the 32-bit one is correctly selected for n32).

Correct the issue then by defining an n32 regset view and using it as
appropriate.  Issue discovered in GDB testing.

[ Upstream commit e89ef66d7682f031f026eee6bba03c8c2248d2a9 ]

Memories managed through boot_mem_map are generally expected to define
non-crossing areas. However, if part of a larger memory block is marked
as reserved, it would still be added to bootmem allocator as an
available block and could end up being overwritten by the allocator.

Prevent this by explicitly marking the memory as reserved it if exists
in the range used by bootmem allocator.

<title>MIPS: Ensure bss section ends on a long-aligned address</title>

[ Upstream commit 3f00f4d8f083bc61005d0a1ef592b149f5c88bbd ]

When clearing the .bss section in kernel_entry we do so using LONG_S
instructions, and branch whilst the current write address doesn't equal
the end of the .bss section minus the size of a long integer. The .bss
section always begins at a long-aligned address and we always increment
the write pointer by the size of a long integer - we therefore rely upon
the .bss section ending at a long-aligned address. If this is not the
case then the long-aligned write address can never be equal to the
non-long-aligned end address &amp; we will continue to increment past the
end of the .bss section, attempting to zero the rest of memory.

Despite this requirement that .bss end at a long-aligned address we pass
0 as the end alignment requirement to the BSS_SECTION macro and thus
don't guarantee any particular alignment, allowing us to hit the error
condition described above.

Fix this by instead passing 8 bytes as the end alignment argument to
the BSS_SECTION macro, ensuring that the end of the .bss section is
always at least long-aligned.

commit 7b82c1058ac1f8f8b9f2b8786b1f710a57a870a8 upstream.

Fix commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and
send SIGILL rather than SIGBUS whenever an unimplemented BPOSGE32 DSP
ASE instruction has been encountered in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
as our Reserved Instruction exception handler would in response to an
attempt to actually execute the instruction.  Sending SIGBUS only makes
sense for the unaligned PC case, since moved to `__compute_return_epc'.
Adjust function documentation accordingly, correct formatting and use
`pr_info' rather than `printk' as the other exit path already does.

commit 49955d84cd9ccdca5a16a495e448e1a06fad9e49 upstream.

The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the
MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path
restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have
been saved on entry to the system call.

Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper
function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so
that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.

commit 4f32a39d49b25eaa66d2420f1f03d371ea4cd906 upstream.

The sys_exit trace event takes a single return value for the system
call, which MIPS passes the value of the $v0 (result) register, however
MIPS returns positive error codes in $v0 with $a3 specifying that $v0
contains an error code. As a result erroring system calls are traced
returning positive error numbers that can't always be distinguished from
success.

Use regs_return_value() to negate the error code if $a3 is set.

commit 4915e1b043d6286928207b1f6968197b50407294 upstream.

EVA linked loads (LLE) and conditional stores (SCE) should be used on
EVA kernels for the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system
call, or else the atomic set will apply to the kernel view of the
virtual address space (potentially unmapped on EVA kernels) rather than
the user view (TLB mapped).

commit 4915e1b043d6286928207b1f6968197b50407294 upstream.

EVA linked loads (LLE) and conditional stores (SCE) should be used on
EVA kernels for the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system
call, or else the atomic set will apply to the kernel view of the
virtual address space (potentially unmapped on EVA kernels) rather than
the user view (TLB mapped).

commit 2ec420b26f7b6ff332393f0bb5a7d245f7ad87f0 upstream.

The inline asm retry check in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the
sysmips system call has been backwards since commit f1e39a4a616c ("MIPS:
Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler")
merged in v2.6.32, resulting in the non R10000_LLSC_WAR case retrying
until the operation was inatomic, before returning the new value that
was probably just written multiple times instead of the old value.

Invert the branch condition to fix that particular issue.

<title>MIPS: Fix IRQ tracing &amp; lockdep when rescheduling</title>

commit d8550860d910c6b7b70f830f59003b33daaa52c9 upstream.

When the scheduler sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED &amp; we call into the scheduler
from arch/mips/kernel/entry.S we disable interrupts. This is true
regardless of whether we reach work_resched from syscall_exit_work,
resume_userspace or by looping after calling schedule(). Although we
disable interrupts in these paths we don't call trace_hardirqs_off()
before calling into C code which may acquire locks, and we therefore
leave lockdep with an inconsistent view of whether interrupts are
disabled or not when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING &amp; CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP are
both enabled.

Without tracing this interrupt state lockdep will print warnings such
as the following once a task returns from a syscall via
syscall_exit_partial with TIF_NEED_RESCHED set:

Fix this by using the TRACE_IRQS_OFF macro to call trace_hardirqs_off()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled. This is done before invoking
schedule() following the work_resched label because:

 1) Interrupts are disabled regardless of the path we take to reach
    work_resched() &amp; schedule().

 2) Performing the tracing here avoids the need to do it in paths which
    disable interrupts but don't call out to C code before hitting a
    path which uses the RESTORE_SOME macro that will call
    trace_hardirqs_on() or trace_hardirqs_off() as appropriate.

We call trace_hardirqs_on() using the TRACE_IRQS_ON macro before calling
syscall_trace_leave() for similar reasons, ensuring that lockdep has a
consistent view of state after we re-enable interrupts.
