commit b084116f8587b222a2c5ef6dcd846f40f24b9420 upstream.

Without UPF_FIXED_TYPE, the data from the PORT_AR7 uart_config entry is
never copied, resulting in a dead port.

commit 1b495faec231980b6c719994b24044ccc04ae06c upstream.

Make the behaviour of clk_get_rate consistent with common clk's
clk_get_rate by accepting NULL clocks as parameter. Some device
drivers rely on this, and will cause an OOPS otherwise.

commit c022630633624a75b3b58f43dd3c6cc896a56cff upstream.

Remove usage of the '__attribute__((alias("...")))' hack that aliased
to integer arrays containing micro-assembled instructions. This hack
breaks when building a microMIPS kernel. It also makes the code much
easier to understand.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Added back export of the clear_page and copy_page
symbols so certain modules will work again.  Also fixed build with

commit 7b82c1058ac1f8f8b9f2b8786b1f710a57a870a8 upstream.

Fix commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and
send SIGILL rather than SIGBUS whenever an unimplemented BPOSGE32 DSP
ASE instruction has been encountered in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
as our Reserved Instruction exception handler would in response to an
attempt to actually execute the instruction.  Sending SIGBUS only makes
sense for the unaligned PC case, since moved to `__compute_return_epc'.
Adjust function documentation accordingly, correct formatting and use
`pr_info' rather than `printk' as the other exit path already does.

<title>MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() retry condition</title>

commit 2ec420b26f7b6ff332393f0bb5a7d245f7ad87f0 upstream.

The inline asm retry check in the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the
sysmips system call has been backwards since commit f1e39a4a616c ("MIPS:
Rewrite sysmips(MIPS_ATOMIC_SET, ...) in C with inline assembler")
merged in v2.6.32, resulting in the non R10000_LLSC_WAR case retrying
until the operation was inatomic, before returning the new value that
was probably just written multiple times instead of the old value.

Invert the branch condition to fix that particular issue.

commit d8550860d910c6b7b70f830f59003b33daaa52c9 upstream.

When the scheduler sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED &amp; we call into the scheduler
from arch/mips/kernel/entry.S we disable interrupts. This is true
regardless of whether we reach work_resched from syscall_exit_work,
resume_userspace or by looping after calling schedule(). Although we
disable interrupts in these paths we don't call trace_hardirqs_off()
before calling into C code which may acquire locks, and we therefore
leave lockdep with an inconsistent view of whether interrupts are
disabled or not when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING &amp; CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP are
both enabled.

Without tracing this interrupt state lockdep will print warnings such
as the following once a task returns from a syscall via
syscall_exit_partial with TIF_NEED_RESCHED set:

Fix this by using the TRACE_IRQS_OFF macro to call trace_hardirqs_off()
when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is enabled. This is done before invoking
schedule() following the work_resched label because:

 1) Interrupts are disabled regardless of the path we take to reach
    work_resched() &amp; schedule().

 2) Performing the tracing here avoids the need to do it in paths which
    disable interrupts but don't call out to C code before hitting a
    path which uses the RESTORE_SOME macro that will call
    trace_hardirqs_on() or trace_hardirqs_off() as appropriate.

We call trace_hardirqs_on() using the TRACE_IRQS_ON macro before calling
syscall_trace_leave() for similar reasons, ensuring that lockdep has a
consistent view of state after we re-enable interrupts.

commit d8550860d910c6b7b70f830f59003b33daaa52c9 upstream.

When the scheduler sets TIF_NEED_RESCHED &amp; we call into the scheduler
from arch/mips/kernel/entry.S we disable interrupts. This is true
regardless of whether we reach work_resched from syscall_exit_work,
resume_userspace or by looping after calling schedule(). Although we
disable interrupts in these paths we don't call trace_hardirqs_off()
before calling into C code which may acquire locks, and we therefore
leave lockdep with an inconsistent view of whether interrupts are
disabled or not when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING &amp; CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCKDEP are
both enabled.

Without tracing this interrupt state lockdep will print warnings such
as the following once a task returns from a syscall via
syscall_exit_partial with TIF_NEED_RESCHED set:

commit 698b851073ddf5a894910d63ca04605e0473414e upstream.

When ftrace is used with kprobes, it is possible for a kprobe to contain
an invalid location (ie. only initialised to 0 and not to a specific
location in the code). Trying to perform a cache flush on such location
leads to a crash r4k_flush_icache_range().

<title>MIPS: KGDB: Use kernel context for sleeping threads</title>

commit 162b270c664dca2e0944308e92f9fcc887151a72 upstream.

KGDB is a kernel debug stub and it can't be used to debug userland as it
can only safely access kernel memory.

On MIPS however KGDB has always got the register state of sleeping
processes from the userland register context at the beginning of the
kernel stack. This is meaningless for kernel threads (which never enter
userland), and for user threads it prevents the user seeing what it is
doing while in the kernel:

(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id         Frame
  ...
  3    Thread 2 (kthreadd) 0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()
  2    Thread 1 (init)   0x000000007705c4b4 in ?? ()
  1    Thread -2 (shadowCPU0) 0xffffffff8012524c in arch_kgdb_breakpoint () at arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:201

Get the register state instead from the (partial) kernel register
context stored in the task's thread_struct for resume() to restore. All
threads now correctly appear to be in context_switch():

(gdb) info threads
  Id   Target Id         Frame
  ...
  3    Thread 2 (kthreadd) context_switch (rq=&lt;optimized out&gt;, cookie=..., next=&lt;optimized out&gt;, prev=0x0) at kernel/sched/core.c:2903
  2    Thread 1 (init)   context_switch (rq=&lt;optimized out&gt;, cookie=..., next=&lt;optimized out&gt;, prev=0x0) at kernel/sched/core.c:2903
  1    Thread -2 (shadowCPU0) 0xffffffff8012524c in arch_kgdb_breakpoint () at arch/mips/kernel/kgdb.c:201

Call clobbered registers which aren't saved and exception registers
(BadVAddr &amp; Cause) which can't be easily determined without stack
unwinding are reported as 0. The PC is taken from the return address,
such that the state presented matches that found immediately after
returning from resume().

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.
