[ Upstream commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 88d02a2ba6c52350f9a73ff1b01a5be839c3ca17 ]

When the core THP code is modifying the permissions of a huge page it
calls pmd_modify(), which unfortunately was clearing the _PAGE_HUGE bit
of the page table entry.  The result can be kernel messages like:

mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 000000040080004d.
mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 00000003ff00004d.

After commit 92923ca3aacef63c92d ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved
in the memblock region"), the MIPS hibernation is broken. Because pages
in nosave data section should be "reserved", but currently they aren't
set to "reserved" at initialization. This patch makes hibernation work
again.

[ Upstream commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit e49d38488515057dba8f0c2ba4cfde5be4a7281f ]

Fix a build regression from commit c9017757c532 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
of vector registers when MSA is first used"):

arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'

to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Drop patch segment to junk file.]

[ Upstream commit e49d38488515057dba8f0c2ba4cfde5be4a7281f ]

Fix a build regression from commit c9017757c532 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
of vector registers when MSA is first used"):

arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'

to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.

[ Upstream commit ab4a92e66741b35ca12f8497896bafbe579c28a1 ]

When emulating a jalr instruction with rd == $0, the code in
isBranchInstr was incorrectly writing to GPR $0 which should actually
always remain zeroed. This would lead to any further instructions
emulated which use $0 operating on a bogus value until the task is next
context switched, at which point the value of $0 in the task context
would be restored to the correct zero by a store in SAVE_SOME. Fix this
by not writing to rd if it is $0.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Fix timer IRQ race when writing CP0_Compare</title>

[ Upstream commit b45bacd2d048f405c7760e5cc9b60dd67708734f ]

Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit
(CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer
interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer
interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is
nowhere near CP0_Count.

We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and
kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting
CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer
interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM
user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the
write.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Fix timer IRQ race when freezing timer</title>

[ Upstream commit 4355c44f063d3de4f072d796604c7f4ba4085cc3 ]

There's a particularly narrow and subtle race condition when the
software emulated guest timer is frozen which can allow a guest timer
interrupt to be missed.

This happens due to the hrtimer expiry being inexact, so very
occasionally the freeze time will be after the moment when the emulated
CP0_Count transitions to the same value as CP0_Compare (so an IRQ should
be generated), but before the moment when the hrtimer is due to expire
(so no IRQ is generated). The IRQ won't be generated when the timer is
resumed either, since the resume CP0_Count will already match CP0_Compare.

With VZ guests in particular this is far more likely to happen, since
the soft timer may be frozen frequently in order to restore the timer
state to the hardware guest timer. This happens after 5-10 hours of
guest soak testing, resulting in an overflow in guest kernel timekeeping
calculations, hanging the guest. A more focussed test case to
intentionally hit the race (with the help of a new hypcall to cause the
timer state to migrated between hardware &amp; software) hits the condition
fairly reliably within around 30 seconds.

Instead of relying purely on the inexact hrtimer expiry to determine
whether an IRQ should be generated, read the guest CP0_Compare and
directly check whether the freeze time is before or after it. Only if
CP0_Count is on or after CP0_Compare do we check the hrtimer expiry to
determine whether the last IRQ has already been generated (which will
have pushed back the expiry by one timer period).
