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: Change definition of cpu_relax() for Loongson-3</title>

commit a30718868915fbb991a9ae9e45594b059f28e9ae upstream.

Linux expects that if a CPU modifies a memory location, then that
modification will eventually become visible to other CPUs in the system.

Loongson 3 CPUs include a Store Fill Buffer (SFB) which sits between a
core &amp; its L1 data cache, queueing memory accesses &amp; allowing for faster
forwarding of data from pending stores to younger loads from the core.
Unfortunately the SFB prioritizes loads such that a continuous stream of
loads may cause a pending write to be buffered indefinitely. This is
problematic if we end up with 2 CPUs which each perform a store that the
other polls for - one or both CPUs may end up with their stores buffered
in the SFB, never reaching cache due to the continuous reads from the
poll loop. Such a deadlock condition has been observed whilst running
qspinlock code.

This patch changes the definition of cpu_relax() to smp_mb() for
Loongson-3, forcing a flush of the SFB on SMP systems which will cause
any pending writes to make it as far as the L1 caches where they will
become visible to other CPUs. If the kernel is not compiled for SMP
support, this will expand to a barrier() as before.

This workaround matches that currently implemented for ARM when
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_754327=y, which was introduced by commit 534be1d5a2da
("ARM: 6194/1: change definition of cpu_relax() for ARM11MPCore").

Although the workaround is only required when the Loongson 3 SFB
functionality is enabled, and we only began explicitly enabling that
functionality in v4.7 with commit 1e820da3c9af ("MIPS: Loongson-3:
Introduce CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT"), existing or future firmware
may enable the SFB which means we may need the workaround backported to
earlier kernels too.

  - Limit stable backport to v3.15+ where we support Loongson 3 CPUs.]

<title>MIPS: Always use -march=&lt;arch&gt;, not -&lt;arch&gt; shortcuts</title>

commit 344ebf09949c31bcb8818d8458b65add29f1d67b upstream.

The VDSO Makefile filters CFLAGS to select a subset which it uses whilst
building the VDSO ELF. One of the flags it allows through is the -march=
flag that selects the architecture/ISA to target.

Unfortunately in cases where CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R{1,2}=y and the
toolchain defaults to building for MIPS64, the main MIPS Makefile ends
up using the short-form -&lt;arch&gt; flags in cflags-y. This is because the
calls to cc-option always fail to use the long-form -march=&lt;arch&gt; flag
due to the lack of an -mabi=&lt;abi&gt; flag in KBUILD_CFLAGS at the point
where the cc-option function is executed. The resulting GCC invocation
is something like:

  $ mips64-linux-gcc -Werror -march=mips32r2 -c -x c /dev/null -o tmp
  cc1: error: '-march=mips32r2' is not compatible with the selected ABI

These short-form -&lt;arch&gt; flags are dropped by the VDSO Makefile's
filtering, and so we attempt to build the VDSO without specifying any
architecture. This results in an attempt to build the VDSO using
whatever the compiler's default architecture is, regardless of whether
that is suitable for the kernel configuration.

One encountered build failure resulting from this mismatch is a
rejection of the sync instruction if the kernel is configured for a
MIPS32 or MIPS64 r1 or r2 target but the toolchain defaults to an older
architecture revision such as MIPS1 which did not include the sync
instruction:

  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:558: arch/mips/vdso] Error 2
  make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This can be reproduced for example by attempting to build
pistachio_defconfig using Arnd's GCC 8.1.0 mips64 toolchain from
kernel.org:

  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/8.1.0/x86_64-gcc-8.1.0-nolibc-mips64-linux.tar.xz

Resolve this problem by using the long-form -march=&lt;arch&gt; in all cases,
which makes it through the arch/mips/vdso/Makefile's filtering &amp; is thus
consistently used to build both the kernel proper &amp; the VDSO.

The use of cc-option to prefer the long-form &amp; fall back to the
short-form flags makes no sense since the short-form is just an
abbreviation for the also-supported long-form in all GCC versions that
we support building with. This means there is no case in which we have
to use the short-form -&lt;arch&gt; flags, so we can simply remove them.

The manual redefinition of _MIPS_ISA is removed naturally along with the
use of the short-form flags that it accompanied, and whilst here we
remove the separate assembler ISA selection. I suspect that both of
these were only required due to the mips32 vs mips2 mismatch that was
introduced by commit 59b3e8e9aac6 ("[MIPS] Makefile crapectomy.") and
fixed but not cleaned up by commit 9200c0b2a07c ("[MIPS] Fix Makefile
bugs for MIPS32/MIPS64 R1 and R2.").

I've marked this for backport as far as v4.4 where the MIPS VDSO was
introduced. In earlier kernels there should be no ill effect to using
the short-form flags.

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

<content type='text'>
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.

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

commit f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b upstream.

Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.

This reverts commit 2a027b47dba6 ("MIPS: BCM47XX: Enable 74K Core
ExternalSync for PCIe erratum").

Enabling ExternalSync caused a regression for BCM4718A1 (used e.g. in
Netgear E3000 and ASUS RT-N16): it simply hangs during PCIe
initialization. It's likely that BCM4717A1 is also affected.

I didn't notice that earlier as the only BCM47XX devices with PCIe I
own are:
1) BCM4706 with 2 x 14e4:4331
2) BCM4706 with 14e4:4360 and 14e4:4331
it appears that BCM4706 is unaffected.

While BCM5300X-ES300-RDS.pdf seems to document that erratum and its
workarounds (according to quotes provided by Tokunori) it seems not even
Broadcom follows them.

According to the provided info Broadcom should define CONF7_ES in their
SDK's mipsinc.h and implement workaround in the si_mips_init(). Checking
both didn't reveal such code. It *could* mean Broadcom also had some
problems with the given workaround.

The MIPS implementation of pci_resource_to_user() introduced in v3.12 by
commit 4c2924b725fb ("MIPS: PCI: Use pci_resource_to_user to map pci

byte after the resource, rather than the last byte of the resource.

This results in userland seeing resources as a byte larger than they
actually are, for example a 32 byte BAR will be reported by a tool such
as lspci as being 33 bytes in size:

    Region 2: I/O ports at 1000 [disabled] [size=33]

Correct this by subtracting one from the calculated end address,
reporting the correct address to userland.

<title>MIPS: Fix ioremap() RAM check</title>
<updated>2018-07-05T21:43:21+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=523402fa9101090c91d2033b7ebdfdcf65880488'/>
<id>523402fa9101090c91d2033b7ebdfdcf65880488</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently attempt to check whether a physical address range provided
to __ioremap() may be in use by the page allocator by examining the
value of PageReserved for each page in the region - lowmem pages not
marked reserved are presumed to be in use by the page allocator, and
requests to ioremap them fail.

The way we check this has been broken since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm:
meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region"), because
memblock will typically not have any knowledge of non-RAM pages and
therefore those pages will not have the PageReserved flag set. Thus when
we attempt to ioremap a region outside of RAM we incorrectly fail
believing that the region is RAM that may be in use.

In most cases ioremap() on MIPS will take a fast-path to use the
unmapped kseg1 or xkphys virtual address spaces and never hit this path,
so the only way to hit it is for a MIPS32 system to attempt to ioremap()
an address range in lowmem with flags other than _CACHE_UNCACHED.
Perhaps the most straightforward way to do this is using
ioremap_uncached_accelerated(), which is how the problem was discovered.

Fix this by making use of walk_system_ram_range() to test the address
range provided to __ioremap() against only RAM pages, rather than all
lowmem pages. This means that if we have a lowmem I/O region, which is
very common for MIPS systems, we're free to ioremap() address ranges
within it. A nice bonus is that the test is no longer limited to lowmem.

The approach here matches the way x86 performed the same test after
commit c81c8a1eeede ("x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages") until
x86 moved towards a slightly more complicated check using walk_mem_res()
for unrelated reasons with commit 0e4c12b45aa8 ("x86/mm, resource: Use
PAGE_KERNEL protection for ioremap of memory pages").

We currently attempt to check whether a physical address range provided
to __ioremap() may be in use by the page allocator by examining the
value of PageReserved for each page in the region - lowmem pages not
marked reserved are presumed to be in use by the page allocator, and
requests to ioremap them fail.

The way we check this has been broken since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm:
meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region"), because
memblock will typically not have any knowledge of non-RAM pages and
therefore those pages will not have the PageReserved flag set. Thus when
we attempt to ioremap a region outside of RAM we incorrectly fail
believing that the region is RAM that may be in use.

In most cases ioremap() on MIPS will take a fast-path to use the
unmapped kseg1 or xkphys virtual address spaces and never hit this path,
so the only way to hit it is for a MIPS32 system to attempt to ioremap()
an address range in lowmem with flags other than _CACHE_UNCACHED.
Perhaps the most straightforward way to do this is using
ioremap_uncached_accelerated(), which is how the problem was discovered.

Fix this by making use of walk_system_ram_range() to test the address
range provided to __ioremap() against only RAM pages, rather than all
lowmem pages. This means that if we have a lowmem I/O region, which is
very common for MIPS systems, we're free to ioremap() address ranges
within it. A nice bonus is that the test is no longer limited to lowmem.

The approach here matches the way x86 performed the same test after
commit c81c8a1eeede ("x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages") until
x86 moved towards a slightly more complicated check using walk_mem_res()
for unrelated reasons with commit 0e4c12b45aa8 ("x86/mm, resource: Use
PAGE_KERNEL protection for ioremap of memory pages").
