commit 0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7 upstream.

There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

[ Upstream commit c5ed1fe0801f0c66b0fbce2785239a5664629057 ]

dev_set_name() allocates memory for name, it need be freed
when module exiting, call put_device() to give up reference,
so that it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount
hit to 0. The vpe_device is static, so remove kfree() from
vpe_device_release().

commit e1a534f5d074db45ae5cbac41d8912b98e96a006 upstream.

When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is selected,
cpu_max_bits_warn() generates a runtime warning similar as below while
we show /proc/cpuinfo. Fix this by using nr_cpu_ids (the runtime limit)
instead of NR_CPUS to iterate CPUs.

<title>MIPS: Fix CP0 counter erratum detection for R4k CPUs</title>

commit f0a6c68f69981214cb7858738dd2bc81475111f7 upstream.

Fix the discrepancy between the two places we check for the CP0 counter
erratum in along with the incorrect comparison of the R4400 revision
number against 0x30 which matches none and consistently consider all
R4000 and R4400 processors affected, as documented in processor errata
publications[1][2][3], following the mapping between CP0 PRId register
values and processor models:

  PRId   |  Processor Model
---------+--------------------
00000422 | R4000 Revision 2.2
00000430 | R4000 Revision 3.0
00000440 | R4400 Revision 1.0
00000450 | R4400 Revision 2.0
00000460 | R4400 Revision 3.0

No other revision of either processor has ever been spotted.

Contrary to what has been stated in commit ce202cbb9e0b ("[MIPS] Assume
R4000/R4400 newer than 3.0 don't have the mfc0 count bug") marking the
CP0 counter as buggy does not preclude it from being used as either a
clock event or a clock source device.  It just cannot be used as both at
a time, because in that case clock event interrupts will be occasionally
lost, and the use as a clock event device takes precedence.

Compare against 0x4ff in `can_use_mips_counter' so that a single machine
instruction is produced.

<title>MIPS: fix fortify panic when copying asm exception handlers</title>

[ Upstream commit d17b66417308996e7e64b270a3c7f3c1fbd4cfc8 ]

With KCFLAGS="-O3", I was able to trigger a fortify-source
memcpy() overflow panic on set_vi_srs_handler().
Although O3 level is not supported in the mainline, under some
conditions that may've happened with any optimization settings,
it's just a matter of inlining luck. The panic itself is correct,
more precisely, 50/50 false-positive and not at the same time.
From the one side, no real overflow happens. Exception handler
defined in asm just gets copied to some reserved places in the
memory.
But the reason behind is that C code refers to that exception
handler declares it as `char`, i.e. something of 1 byte length.
It's obvious that the asm function itself is way more than 1 byte,
so fortify logics thought we are going to past the symbol declared.
The standard way to refer to asm symbols from C code which is not
supposed to be called from C is to declare them as
`extern const u8[]`. This is fully correct from any point of view,
as any code itself is just a bunch of bytes (including 0 as it is
for syms like _stext/_etext/etc.), and the exact size is not known
at the moment of compilation.
Adjust the type of the except_vec_vi_*() and related variables.
Make set_handler() take `const` as a second argument to avoid
cast-away warnings and give a little more room for optimization.

Basic debug printks right before the mentioned line say:

So smt_mask, which is sibling mask obviously, is empty when entering
the function.
This is critical, as sched_core_cpu_starting() calculates
core-scheduling parameters only once per CPU start, and it's crucial
to have all the parameters filled in at that moment (at least it
uses cpu_smt_mask() which in fact is `&amp;cpu_sibling_map[cpu]` on
MIPS).

A bit of debugging led me to that set_cpu_sibling_map() performing
the actual map calculation, was being invocated after
notify_cpu_start(), and exactly the latter function starts CPU HP
callback round (sched_core_cpu_starting() is basically a CPU HP
callback).
While the flow is same on ARM64 (maps after the notifier, although
before calling set_cpu_online()), x86 started calculating sibling
maps earlier than starting the CPU HP callbacks in Linux 4.14 (see
[0] for the reference). Neither me nor my brief tests couldn't find
any potential caveats in calculating the maps right after performing
delay calibration, but the WARN splat is now gone.
The very same debug prints now yield exactly what I expected from
them:

<title>mips: cm: Convert to bitfield API to fix out-of-bounds access</title>

[ Upstream commit 18b8f5b6fc53d097cadb94a93d8d6566ba88e389 ]

mips_cm_error_report() extracts the cause and other cause from the error
register using shifts.  This works fine for the former, as it is stored
in the top bits, and the shift will thus remove all non-related bits.
However, the latter is stored in the bottom bits, hence thus needs masking
to get rid of non-related bits.  Without such masking, using it as an
index into the cm2_causes[] array will lead to an out-of-bounds access,
probably causing a crash.

Fix this by using FIELD_GET() instead.  Bite the bullet and convert all
MIPS CM handling to the bitfield API, to improve readability and safety.

However, the latter is stored in the bottom bits, hence thus needs masking
to get rid of non-related bits.  Without such masking, using it as an
index into the cm2_causes[] array will lead to an out-of-bounds access,
probably causing a crash.

Fix this by using FIELD_GET() instead.  Bite the bullet and convert all
MIPS CM handling to the bitfield API, to improve readability and safety.
