commit 690d9163bf4b8563a2682e619f938e6a0443947f upstream.

Some versions of GCC suboptimally generate calls to the __multi3()
intrinsic for MIPS64r6 builds, resulting in link failures due to the
missing function:

    LD      vmlinux.o
    MODPOST vmlinux.o
  kernel/bpf/verifier.o: In function `kmalloc_array':
  include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3'
  fs/select.o: In function `kmalloc_array':
  include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3'
  ...

We already have a workaround for this in which we provide the
instrinsic, but we do so selectively for GCC 7 only. Unfortunately the
issue occurs with older GCC versions too - it has been observed with
both GCC 5.4.0 &amp; GCC 6.4.0.

MIPSr6 support was introduced in GCC 5, so all major GCC versions prior
to GCC 8 are affected and we extend our workaround accordingly to all
MIPS64r6 builds using GCC versions older than GCC 8.

<title>MIPS: memset.S: Fix byte_fixup for MIPSr6</title>

commit b1c03f1ef48d36ff28afb06e8f0c1233ef072f1d upstream.

The __clear_user function is defined to return the number of bytes that
could not be cleared. From the underlying memset / bzero implementation
this means setting register a2 to that number on return. Currently if a
page fault is triggered within the MIPSr6 version of setting of initial
unaligned bytes, the value loaded into a2 on return is meaningless.

During the MIPSr6 version of the initial unaligned bytes block, register
a2 contains the number of bytes to be set beyond the initial unaligned
bytes. The t0 register is initally set to the number of unaligned bytes
- STORSIZE, effectively a negative version of the number of unaligned
bytes. This is then incremented before each byte is saved.

The label .Lbyte_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault. Currently the value
in a2 is incorrectly replaced by 0 - t0 + 1, effectively the number of
unaligned bytes remaining. This leads to the failures being reported by
the following test code:

static int __init test_clear_user(void)
{
	int j, k;

	pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");
	for (j = 0; j &lt; 512; j++) {
		if ((k = clear_user(NULL+3, j)) != j) {
			pr_err("clear_user (NULL %d) returned %d\n", j, k);
		}
	}
	return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);

Which reports:
[    3.965439] Testing clear_user
[    3.973169] clear_user (NULL 8) returned 6
[    3.976782] clear_user (NULL 9) returned 6
[    3.980390] clear_user (NULL 10) returned 6
[    3.984052] clear_user (NULL 11) returned 6
[    3.987524] clear_user (NULL 12) returned 6

Fix this by subtracting t0 from a2 (rather than $0), effectivey giving:
unset_bytes = (#bytes - (#unaligned bytes)) - (-#unaligned bytes remaining + 1) + 1
     a2     =             a2                -              t0                   + 1

This fixes the value returned from __clear user when the number of bytes
to set is &gt; LONGSIZE and the address is invalid and unaligned.

Unfortunately, this breaks the fixup handling for unaligned bytes after
the final long, where register a2 still contains the number of bytes
remaining to be set and the t0 register is to 0 - the number of
unaligned bytes remaining.

Because t0 is now is now subtracted from a2 rather than 0, the number of
bytes unset is reported incorrectly:

static int __init test_clear_user(void)
{
	char *test;
	int j, k;

	pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");
	test = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);

	for (j = 256; j &lt; 512; j++) {
		if ((k = clear_user(test + PAGE_SIZE - 254, j)) != j - 254) {
			pr_err("clear_user (%px %d) returned %d\n",
				test + PAGE_SIZE - 254, j, k);
		}
	}
	return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);

[    3.976775] clear_user (c00000000000df02 256) returned 4
[    3.981957] clear_user (c00000000000df02 257) returned 6
[    3.986425] clear_user (c00000000000df02 258) returned 8
[    3.990850] clear_user (c00000000000df02 259) returned 10
[    3.995332] clear_user (c00000000000df02 260) returned 12
[    3.999815] clear_user (c00000000000df02 261) returned 14

Fix this by ensuring that a2 is set to 0 during the set of final
unaligned bytes.

Assembly language within the MIPS kernel conventionally indents
instructions which are in a branch delay slot to make them easier to
see. Commit 8483b14aaa81 ("MIPS: lib: memset: Whitespace fixes") rather
inexplicably removed all of these indentations from memset.S. Reinstate
the convention for all instructions in a branch delay slot. This
effectively reverts the above commit, plus other locations introduced
with MIPSR6 support.

<title>MIPS: memset.S: Fix clobber of v1 in last_fixup</title>

<id>c96eebf07692e53bf4dd5987510d8b550e793598</id>
<content type='text'>
The label .Llast_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault within the final
byte set loop of memset (on &lt; MIPSR6 architectures). For some reason, in
this fault handler, the v1 register is randomly set to a2 &amp; STORMASK.
This clobbers v1 for the calling function. This can be observed with the
following test code:

static int __init __attribute__((optimize("O0"))) test_clear_user(void)
{
  register int t asm("v1");
  char *test;
  int j, k;

  pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");
  test = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);

  for (j = 256; j &lt; 512; j++) {
    t = 0xa5a5a5a5;
    if ((k = clear_user(test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j)) != j - 256) {
        pr_err("clear_user (%px %d) returned %d\n", test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j, k);
    }
    if (t != 0xa5a5a5a5) {
       pr_err("v1 was clobbered to 0x%x!\n", t);
    }
  }

  return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);

Which demonstrates that v1 is indeed clobbered (MIPS64):

Testing clear_user
v1 was clobbered to 0x1!
v1 was clobbered to 0x2!
v1 was clobbered to 0x3!
v1 was clobbered to 0x4!
v1 was clobbered to 0x5!
v1 was clobbered to 0x6!
v1 was clobbered to 0x7!

Since the number of bytes that could not be set is already contained in
a2, the andi placing a value in v1 is not necessary and actively
harmful in clobbering v1.

The __clear_user function is defined to return the number of bytes that
could not be cleared. From the underlying memset / bzero implementation
this means setting register a2 to that number on return. Currently if a
page fault is triggered within the memset_partial block, the value
loaded into a2 on return is meaningless.

The label .Lpartial_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault. In order to work
out how many bytes failed to copy, the exception handler should find how
many bytes left in the partial block (andi a2, STORMASK), add that to
the partial block end address (a2), and subtract the faulting address to
get the remainder. Currently it incorrectly subtracts the partial block
start address (t1), which has additionally been clobbered to generate a
jump target in memset_partial. Fix this by adding the block end address
instead.

This issue was found with the following test code:
      int j, k;
      for (j = 0; j &lt; 512; j++) {
        if ((k = clear_user(NULL, j)) != j) {
           pr_err("clear_user (NULL %d) returned %d\n", j, k);
        }
      }
Which now passes on Creator Ci40 (MIPS32) and Cavium Octeon II (MIPS64).

<title>MIPS: memset.S: EVA &amp; fault support for small_memset</title>

<id>8a8158c85e1e774a44fbe81106fa41138580dfd1</id>
<content type='text'>
The MIPS kernel memset / bzero implementation includes a small_memset
branch which is used when the region to be set is smaller than a long (4
bytes on 32bit, 8 bytes on 64bit). The current small_memset
implementation uses a simple store byte loop to write the destination.
There are 2 issues with this implementation:

1. When EVA mode is active, user and kernel address spaces may overlap.
Currently the use of the sb instruction means kernel mode addressing is
always used and an intended write to userspace may actually overwrite
some critical kernel data.

2. If the write triggers a page fault, for example by calling
__clear_user(NULL, 2), instead of gracefully handling the fault, an OOPS
is triggered.

Fix these issues by replacing the sb instruction with the EX() macro,
which will emit EVA compatible instuctions as required. Additionally
implement a fault fixup for small_memset which sets a2 to the number of
bytes that could not be cleared (as defined by __clear_user).

<content type='text'>
GCC7 is a bit too eager to generate suboptimal __multi3 calls (128bit
multiply with 128bit result) for MIPS64r6 builds, even in code which
doesn't explicitly use 128bit types, such as the following:

unsigned long func(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
{
	return a &gt; (~0UL) / b;
}

Which GCC rearanges to:

return (unsigned __int128)a * (unsigned __int128)b &gt; 0xffffffffffffffff;

Therefore implement __multi3, but only for MIPS64r6 with GCC7 as under
normal circumstances we wouldn't expect any calls to __multi3 to be
generated from kernel code.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

We currently have __ioread32_copy, __iowrite32_copy &amp; __iowrite64_copy
helpers in lib/iomap_copy.c. This patch adds __ioread64_copy to round
out the set, allowing copies from I/O memory using 32 or 64 bit reads.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Changed to move all the code of this patch to be
applied to arch/mips temporarily.]
