commit 2d3862d26e67a59340ba1cf1748196c76c5787de upstream.

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| early console in decompress_kernel
| decompress_kernel:
|       input: [0x807f2143b4-0x807ff61aee]
|      output: [0x807cc00000-0x807f3ea29b] 0x027ea29c: output_len

|
| Decompressing Linux... gz...

| -- System halted

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

commit c909ca718e8f50cf484ef06a8dd935e738e8e53d upstream.

Commit c8a34581ec09 ("MIPS: Emulate the BC1{EQ,NE}Z FPU instructions")
added support for emulating the new R6 BC1{EQ,NE}Z branches but it missed
the case where the instruction that caused the exception was not on a DS.

<title>MIPS: CPS: use 32b accesses to GCRs</title>

commit 90996511187d6282db6d02d3f97006b4dbb5c457 upstream.

Commit b677bc03d757 ("MIPS: cps-vec: Use macros for various arithmetics
and memory operations") replaced various load &amp; store instructions
through cps-vec.S with the PTR_L &amp; PTR_S macros. However it was somewhat
overzealous in doing so for CM GCR accesses, since the bit width of the
CM doesn't necessarily match that of the CPU. The registers accessed
(GCR_CL_COHERENCE &amp; GCR_CL_ID) should be safe to simply always access
using 32b instructions, so do so in order to avoid issues when using a
32b CM with a 64b CPU.

Matthew Fortune &lt;Matthew.Fortune@imgtec.com&gt; reports:

The genex.S file appears to mix the case of a macro between its definition and
use. A cut down example of this is below. The macro __build_clear_none has
lower case 'build' but ends up being instantiated with upper case BUILD. Can
this be fixed on master. It has been picked up by the LLVM integrated assembler
which is currently case sensitive. We are likely to fix the assembler as well
but the code is currently inconsistent in the kernel.

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.

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "Another round of MIPS fixes for 4.2.  No area does particularly stand
  out but we have a two unpleasant ones:

   - Kernel ptes are marked with a global bit which allows the kernel to
     share kernel TLB entries between all processes.  For this to work
     both entries of an adjacent even/odd pte pair need to have the
     global bit set.  There has been a subtle race in setting the other
     entry's global bit since ~ 2000 but it take particularly
     pathological workloads that essentially do mostly vmalloc/vfree to
     trigger this.

     This pull request fixes the 64-bit case but leaves the case of 32
     bit CPUs with 64 bit ptes unsolved for now.  The unfixed cases
     affect hardware that is not available in the field yet.

   - Instruction emulation requires loading instructions from user space
     but the current fast but simplistic approach will fail on pages
     that are PROT_EXEC but !PROT_READ.  For this reason we temporarily
     do not permit this permission and will map pages with PROT_EXEC |
     PROT_READ.

  The remainder of this pull request is more or less across the field
  and the short log explains them well"

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.

<title>MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Fixes the assembler errors generated when compiling a MIPS R6 kernel with
CONFIG_KEXEC on, by replacing the offending add and sub instructions with
addiu instructions.

Build errors:

arch/mips/kernel/relocate_kernel.S:27: Error: invalid operands `dadd $16,$16,8'
arch/mips/kernel/relocate_kernel.S:64: Error: invalid operands `dadd $20,$20,8'
