commit 3ef06653987d4c4536b408321edf0e5caa2a317f upstream.

At first, we prefer to use mips clockevent device, so we decrease the
rating of hpet clockevent device.

For hpet, if HPET_MIN_PROG_DELTA (minimum delta of hpet programming) is
too small and HPET_MIN_CYCLES (threshold of -ETIME checking) is too
large, then hpet_next_event() can easily return -ETIME. After commit
c6eb3f70d44828 ("hrtimer: Get rid of hrtimer softirq") this will cause
a RCU stall.

So, HPET_MIN_PROG_DELTA must be sufficient that we don't re-trip the
-ETIME check -- if we do, we will return -ETIME, forward the next event
time, try to set it, return -ETIME again, and basically lock the system
up. Meanwhile, HPET_MIN_CYCLES doesn't need to be too large, 16 cycles
is enough.

This solution is similar to commit f9eccf24615672 ("clocksource/drivers
/vt8500: Increase the minimum delta").

By the way, this patch ensures hpet count/compare to be 32-bit long.

commit 07d69579e7fec27e371296d8ca9d6076fc401b5c upstream.

Don't register r4k sched clock when CPUFREQ enabled because sched clock

commit 4f53989b0652ffe2605221c81ca8ffcfc90aed2a upstream.

Commit a168b8f1cde6 ("MIPS: mm: Add MIPS R6 instruction encodings") added
an incorrect definition of the redefined MIPSr6 cache instruction.

Executing any kernel code including this instuction results in a
reserved instruction exception and kernel panic.

error since they normally indicate the guest accessed bad physical
memory or the commpage in an unexpected way.

commit 8985d50382359e5bf118fdbefc859d0dbf6cebc7 upstream.

kvm_mips_handle_mapped_seg_tlb_fault() calculates the guest frame number
based on the guest TLB EntryLo values, however it is not range checked
to ensure it lies within the guest_pmap. If the physical memory the
guest refers to is out of range then dump the guest TLB and emit an
internal error.

commit c604cffa93478f8888bec62b23d6073dad03d43a upstream.

kvm_mips_handle_mapped_seg_tlb_fault() appears to map the guest page at
virtual address 0 to PFN 0 if the guest has created its own mapping
there. The intention is unclear, but it may have been an attempt to
protect the zero page from being mapped to anything but the comm page in
code paths you wouldn't expect from genuine commpage accesses (guest
kernel mode cache instructions on that address, hitting trapping
instructions when executing from that address with a coincidental TLB
eviction during the KVM handling, and guest user mode accesses to that
address).

Fix this to check for mappings exactly at KVM_GUEST_COMMPAGE_ADDR (it
may not be at address 0 since commit 42aa12e74e91 ("MIPS: KVM: Move
commpage so 0x0 is unmapped")), and set the corresponding EntryLo to be
interpreted as 0 (invalid).

commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df upstream.

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.

commit 20f06ed9f61a185c6dabd662c310bed6189470df upstream.

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.

commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 upstream.

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.

<title>MIPS: Fix 64k page support for 32 bit kernels.</title>

commit d7de413475f443957a0c1d256e405d19b3a2cb22 upstream.

TASK_SIZE was defined as 0x7fff8000UL which for 64k pages is not a
multiple of the page size.  Somewhere further down the math fails
such that executing an ELF binary fails.
