[ Upstream commit 9f161439e4104b641a7bfb9b89581d801159fec8 ]

Commit 4c21b8fd8f14 ("MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls (o32)")
fixed indirect system calls on O32 but it also introduced a bug for MIPS64
where it erroneously modified the v0 (syscall) register with the assumption
that the sycall offset hasn't been taken into consideration. This breaks
seccomp on MIPS64 n64 and n32 ABIs. We fix this by replacing the addition
with a move instruction.

<title>signal: fix information leak in copy_siginfo_from_user32</title>

[ Upstream commit 3c00cb5e68dc719f2fc73a33b1b230aadfcb1309 ]

This function can leak kernel stack data when the user siginfo_t has a
positive si_code value.  The top 16 bits of si_code descibe which fields
in the siginfo_t union are active, but they are treated inconsistently
between copy_siginfo_from_user32, copy_siginfo_to_user32 and
copy_siginfo_to_user.

copy_siginfo_from_user32 is called from rt_sigqueueinfo and
rt_tgsigqueueinfo in which the user has full control overthe top 16 bits
of si_code.

This fixes the following information leaks:
x86:   8 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       itself. This leak grows to 16 bytes if the process uses x32.
       (si_code = __SI_CHLD)
x86:   100 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to
       a 64-bit process. (si_code = -1)
sparc: 4 bytes leaked when sending a signal from a 32-bit process to a
       64-bit process. (si_code = any)

parsic and s390 have similar bugs, but they are not vulnerable because
rt_[tg]sigqueueinfo have checks that prevent sending a positive si_code
to a different process.  These bugs are also fixed for consistency.

[ Upstream commit 46011e6ea39235e4aca656673c500eac81a07a17 ]

On MIPS the GLOBAL bit of the PTE must have the same value in any
aligned pair of PTEs.  These pairs of PTEs are referred to as
"buddies".  In a SMP system is is possible for two CPUs to be calling
set_pte() on adjacent PTEs at the same time.  There is a race between
setting the PTE and a different CPU setting the GLOBAL bit in its
buddy PTE.

This race can be observed when multiple CPUs are executing
vmap()/vfree() at the same time.

Make setting the buddy PTE's GLOBAL bit an atomic operation to close
the race condition.

The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR &amp;&amp; CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
handled.

[ Upstream commit 3aff47c062b944a5e1f9af56a37a23f5295628fc ]

When EVA is enabled, flush the Return Prediction Stack (RPS) present on
some MIPS cores on entry to the kernel from user mode.

This is important specifically for interAptiv with EVA enabled,
otherwise kernel mode RPS mispredicts may trigger speculative fetches of
user return addresses, which may be sensitive in the kernel address
space due to EVA's overlapping user/kernel address spaces.

<title>MIPS: show_stack: Fix stack trace with EVA</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 1e77863a51698c4319587df34171bd823691a66a ]

The show_stack() function deals exclusively with kernel contexts, but if
it gets called in user context with EVA enabled, show_stacktrace() will
attempt to access the stack using EVA accesses, which will either read
other user mapped data, or more likely cause an exception which will be
handled by __get_user().

This is easily reproduced using SysRq t to show all task states, which
results in the following stack dump output:

 Stack : (Bad stack address)

Fix by setting the current user access mode to kernel around the call to
show_stacktrace(). This causes __get_user() to use normal loads to read
the kernel stack.

Now we get the correct output, like this:

 Stack : 00000000 80168960 00000000 004a0000 00000000 00000000 8060016c 1f3abd0c

[ Upstream commit 55c723e181ccec30fb5c672397fe69ec35967d97 ]

If a machine check exception is raised in kernel mode, user context,
with EVA enabled, then the do_mcheck handler will attempt to read the
code around the EPC using EVA load instructions, i.e. as if the reads
were from user mode. This will either read random user data if the
process has anything mapped at the same address, or it will cause an
exception which is handled by __get_user, resulting in this output:

 Code: (Bad address in epc)

Fix by setting the current user access mode to kernel if the saved
register context indicates the exception was taken in kernel mode. This
causes __get_user to use normal loads to read the kernel code.

[ Upstream commit 1d62d737555e1378eb62a8bba26644f7d97139d2 ]

p-&gt;thread.user_cpus_allowed is zero-initialized and is only filled on
the first sched_setaffinity call.

To avoid adding overhead in the task initialization codepath, simply OR
the returned mask in sched_getaffinity with p-&gt;cpus_allowed.

[ Upstream commit 1d62d737555e1378eb62a8bba26644f7d97139d2 ]

p-&gt;thread.user_cpus_allowed is zero-initialized and is only filled on
the first sched_setaffinity call.

To avoid adding overhead in the task initialization codepath, simply OR
the returned mask in sched_getaffinity with p-&gt;cpus_allowed.

<title>MIPS: Malta: Don't reinitialise RTC</title>

[ Upstream commit 106eccb4d20f35ebc58ff2286c170d9e79c5ff68 ]

On Malta, since commit a87ea88d8f6c ("MIPS: Malta: initialise the RTC at
boot"), the RTC is reinitialised and forced into binary coded decimal
(BCD) mode during init, even if the bootloader has already initialised
it, and may even have already put it into binary mode (as YAMON does).
This corrupts the current time, can result in the RTC seconds being an
invalid BCD (e.g. 0x1a..0x1f) for up to 6 seconds, as well as confusing
YAMON for a while after reset, enough for it to report timeouts when
attempting to load from TFTP (it actually uses the RTC in that code).

Therefore only initialise the RTC to the extent that is necessary so
that Linux avoids interfering with the bootloader setup, while also
allowing it to estimate the CPU frequency without hanging, without a
bootloader necessarily having done anything with the RTC (for example
when the kernel is loaded via EJTAG).

The divider control is configured for a 32KHZ reference clock if
necessary, and the SET bit of the RTC_CONTROL register is cleared if
necessary without changing any other bits (this bit will be set when
coming out of reset if the battery has been disconnected).

Fixes: a87ea88d8f6c ("MIPS: Malta: initialise the RTC at boot")

[ Upstream commit 8e748c8d09a9314eedb5c6367d9acfaacddcdc88 ]

KVM guest kernels for trap &amp; emulate run in user mode, with a modified
set of kernel memory segments. However the fixmap address is still in
the normal KSeg3 region at 0xfffe0000 regardless, causing problems when
cache alias handling makes use of them when handling copy on write.

Therefore define FIXADDR_TOP as 0x7ffe0000 in the guest kernel mapped
region when CONFIG_KVM_GUEST is defined.
