commit 033cffeedbd11c140952b98e8639bf652091a17d upstream.

Loongson-3A R2 and newer CPU have FTLB, but Config0.MT is 1, so add
MIPS_CPU_FTLB to the CPU options.

<title>MIPS: Check TLB before handle_ri_rdhwr() for Loongson-3</title>

commit 5a34133167dce36666ea054e30a561b7f4413b7f upstream.

Loongson-3's micro TLB (ITLB) is not strictly a subset of JTLB. That
means: when a JTLB entry is replaced by hardware, there may be an old
valid entry exists in ITLB. So, a TLB miss exception may occur while
handle_ri_rdhwr() is running because it try to access EPC's content.
However, handle_ri_rdhwr() doesn't clear EXL, which makes a TLB Refill
exception be treated as a TLB Invalid exception and tlbp may fail. In
this case, if FTLB (which is usually set-associative instead of set-
associative) is enabled, a tlbp failure will cause an invalid tlbwi,
which will hang the whole system.

This patch rename handle_ri_rdhwr_vivt to handle_ri_rdhwr_tlbp and use
it for Loongson-3. It try to solve the same problem described as below,
but more straightforwards.

https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12591/

I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just
keep it as is.

is_jump_ins() checks for plain jump ("j") instructions since commit

<title>MIPS: Calculate microMIPS ra properly when unwinding the stack</title>

commit bb9bc4689b9c635714fbcd5d335bad9934a7ebfc upstream.

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a
stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction,
treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works
for MIPS32 &amp; MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's
incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we
typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS.

Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address
offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in
the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the
ra/$31 register.

With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the
microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce:

    Call Trace:
    [&lt;80109e1f&gt;] show_stack+0x63/0x7c
    [&lt;8011ea17&gt;] __warn+0x9b/0xac

commit b6c7a324df37bf05ef7a2c1580683cf10d082d97 upstream.

get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128
instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not
reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since
we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the
function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In
microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length.

Fix this by instead checking whether the pointer to the current
instruction has reached the end of the function, and use max_insns as a
simple constant to check the number of iterations against.

commit a3552dace7d1d0cabf573e88fc3025cb90c4a601 upstream.

During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what
type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer
provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned
address &amp; we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the
union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the
required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned
union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely.
The is_jump_ins() &amp; is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform
this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte
fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception.

Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union
mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte
aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do
not need to deal with misalignment themselves.

<title>MIPS: Clear ISA bit correctly in get_frame_info()</title>

commit ccaf7caf2c73c6db920772bf08bf1d47b2170634 upstream.

get_frame_info() can be called in microMIPS kernels with the ISA bit
already clear. For example this happens when unwind_stack_by_address()
is called because we begin with a PC that has the ISA bit set &amp; subtract
the (odd) offset from the preceding symbol (which does not have the ISA
bit set). Since get_frame_info() unconditionally subtracts 1 from the PC
in microMIPS kernels it incorrectly misaligns the address it then
attempts to access code at, leading to an address error exception.

Fix this by using msk_isa16_mode() to clear the ISA bit, which allows
get_frame_info() to function regardless of whether it is provided with a
PC that has the ISA bit set or not.

<title>ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm</title>

commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3 upstream.

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.
