<title>MIPS: KVM: Check for pfn noslot case</title>

commit ba913e4f72fc9cfd03dad968dfb110eb49211d80 upstream.

When mapping a page into the guest we error check using is_error_pfn(),
however this doesn't detect a value of KVM_PFN_NOSLOT, indicating an
error HVA for the page. This can only happen on MIPS right now due to
unusual memslot management (e.g. being moved / removed / resized), or
with an Enhanced Virtual Memory (EVA) configuration where the default
KVM_HVA_ERR_* and kvm_is_error_hva() definitions are unsuitable (fixed
in a later patch). This case will be treated as a pfn of zero, mapping
the first page of physical memory into the guest.

It would appear the MIPS KVM port wasn't updated prior to being merged
(in v3.10) to take commit 81c52c56e2b4 ("KVM: do not treat noslot pfn as
a error pfn") into account (merged v3.8), which converted a bunch of
is_error_pfn() calls to is_error_noslot_pfn(). Switch to using
is_error_noslot_pfn() instead to catch this case properly.

commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df upstream.

MIPS64 needs to use compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace rather than
calling sys_keyctl.  The latter will work in a lot of cases, thereby hiding
the issue.

kvm_mips_handle_mapped_seg_tlb_fault() calculates the guest frame number
based on the guest TLB EntryLo values, however it is not range checked
to ensure it lies within the guest_pmap. If the physical memory the
guest refers to is out of range then dump the guest TLB and emit an
internal error.

commit c604cffa93478f8888bec62b23d6073dad03d43a upstream.

kvm_mips_handle_mapped_seg_tlb_fault() appears to map the guest page at
virtual address 0 to PFN 0 if the guest has created its own mapping
there. The intention is unclear, but it may have been an attempt to
protect the zero page from being mapped to anything but the comm page in
code paths you wouldn't expect from genuine commpage accesses (guest
kernel mode cache instructions on that address, hitting trapping
instructions when executing from that address with a coincidental TLB
eviction during the KVM handling, and guest user mode accesses to that
address).

Fix this to check for mappings exactly at KVM_GUEST_COMMPAGE_ADDR (it
may not be at address 0 since commit 42aa12e74e91 ("MIPS: KVM: Move
commpage so 0x0 is unmapped")), and set the corresponding EntryLo to be
interpreted as 0 (invalid).

commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 upstream.

Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.

commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 upstream.

Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.

commit d7de413475f443957a0c1d256e405d19b3a2cb22 upstream.

TASK_SIZE was defined as 0x7fff8000UL which for 64k pages is not a
multiple of the page size.  Somewhere further down the math fails
such that executing an ELF binary fails.

<title>MIPS: ath79: make bootconsole wait for both THRE and TEMT</title>

commit f5b556c94c8490d42fea79d7b4ae0ecbc291e69d upstream.

This makes the ath79 bootconsole behave the same way as the generic 8250
bootconsole.

Also waiting for TEMT (transmit buffer is empty) instead of just THRE
(transmit buffer is not full) ensures that all characters have been
transmitted before the real serial driver starts reconfiguring the serial
controller (which would sometimes result in garbage being transmitted.)
This change does not cause a visible performance loss.

In addition, this seems to fix a hang observed in certain configurations on
many AR7xxx/AR9xxx SoCs during autoconfig of the real serial driver.

A more complete follow-up patch will disable 8250 autoconfig for ath79
altogether (the serial controller is detected as a 16550A, which is not
fully compatible with the ath79 serial, and the autoconfig may lead to
undefined behavior on ath79.)
