MIPS: MSC: Prevent out-of-bounds writes to MIPS SC ioremap'd region

2014-07-11T12:33:55+00:00

commit ab6c15bc6620ebe220970cc040b29bcb2757f373 upstream.

Previously, the lower limit for the MIPS SC initialization loop was
set incorrectly allowing one extra loop leading to writes
beyond the MSC ioremap'd space. More precisely, the value of the 'imp'
in the last loop increased beyond the msc_irqmap_t boundaries and
as a result of which, the 'n' variable was loaded with an incorrect
value. This value was used later on to calculate the offset in the
MSC01_IC_SUP which led to random crashes like the following one:

CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e75c0200,
epc == 8058dba4, ra == 8058db90
[...]
Call Trace:

MIPS: Fix poweroff failure when HOTPLUG_CPU configured.

2013-01-03T03:33:40+00:00

commit 8add1ecb81f541ef2fcb0b85a5470ad9ecfb4a84 upstream.

When poweroff machine, kernel_power_off() call disable_nonboot_cpus().
And if we have HOTPLUG_CPU configured, disable_nonboot_cpus() is not an
empty function but attempt to actually disable the nonboot cpus. Since
system state is SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, play_dead() won't be called and thus
disable_nonboot_cpus() hangs. Therefore, we make this patch to avoid
poweroff failure.

mips,kgdb: fix recursive page fault with CONFIG_KPROBES

2012-10-30T23:26:44+00:00

commit f0a996eeeda214f4293e234df33b29bec003b536 upstream.

This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it
crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds
an extra die notifier in the page fault handler.  The crash signature
looks like this:

kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test
KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed
Call Trace:
[<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
[<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54

The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type
is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed
to happen.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-17T02:49:27+00:00

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

MIPS: Properly align the .data..init_task section.

commit 7b1c0d26a8e272787f0f9fcc5f3e8531df3b3409 upstream.

Improper alignment can lead to unbootable systems and/or random

MIPS: ASID conflict after CPU hotplug

2011-11-10T17:59:45+00:00

I am running SMP Linux 2.6.37-rc1 on BMIPS5000 (single core dual thread)
and observe some abnormalities when doing system suspend/resume which I
narrowed down to cpu hotplugging. The suspend brings the second thread
processor down and then restarts it, after which I see memory corruption
in userspace. I started digging and found out that problem occurs because
while doing execve() the child process is getting the same ASID as the
parent, which obviously corrupts parent's address space.

Further digging showed that activate_mm() calls get_new_mmu_context() to
get a new ASID, but at this time ASID field in entryHi is 1, and
asid_cache(cpu) is 0x100 (it was just reset to ASID_FIRST_VERSION when
the secondary TP was booting).

So, get_new_mmu_context() increments the asid_cache(cpu) value to
0x101, and thus puts 0x01 into entryHi. The result - ASID field does
not get changed as it was supposed to.

My solution is very simple - do not reset asid_cache(cpu) on TP warm
restart.
