commit aedcfbe06558a9f53002e82d5be64c6c94687726 upstream.

On certain MIPS32 devices, the ftrace tracer "function_graph" uses
__lshrdi3() during the capturing of trace data. ftrace then attempts to
trace __lshrdi3() which leads to infinite recursion and a stack overflow.
Fix this by marking __lshrdi3() as notrace. Mark the other compiler
intrinsics as notrace in case the compiler decides to use them in the
ftrace path.

commit bb93078e655be1e24d68f28f2756676e62c037ce upstream.

MicroMIPS kernels may be expected to run on microMIPS only cores which
don't support the normal MIPS instruction set, so be sure to pass the
-mmicromips flag through to the VDSO cflags.

commit 13eb192d10bcc9ac518d57356179071d603bcb4e upstream.

In microMIPS kernels, handle_signal() sets the isa16 mode bit in the
vdso address so that the sigreturn trampolines (which are offset from
the VDSO) get executed as microMIPS.

However commit ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO")
changed the offsets to come from the VDSO image, which already have the
isa16 mode bit set correctly since they're extracted from the VDSO
shared library symbol table.

Drop the isa16 mode bit handling from handle_signal() to fix sigreturn
for cores which support both microMIPS and normal MIPS. This doesn't fix
microMIPS only cores, since the VDSO is still built for normal MIPS, but
thats a separate problem.

<title>MIPS: ptrace: Prevent writes to read-only FCSR bits</title>

commit abf378be49f38c4d3e23581d3df3fa9f1b1b11d2 upstream.

Correct the cases missed with commit 9b26616c8d9d ("MIPS: Respect the
ISA level in FCSR handling") and prevent writes to read-only FCSR bits
there.

This in particular applies to FP context initialisation where any IEEE
754-2008 bits preset by `mips_set_personality_nan' are cleared before
the relevant ptrace(2) call takes effect and the PTRACE_POKEUSR request
addressing FPC_CSR where no masking of read-only FCSR bits is done.

Remove the FCSR clearing from FP context initialisation then and unify
PTRACE_POKEUSR/FPC_CSR and PTRACE_SETFPREGS handling, by factoring out
code from `ptrace_setfpregs' and calling it from both places.

This mostly matters to soft float configurations where the emulator can
be switched this way to a mode which should not be accessible and cannot
be set with the CTC1 instruction.  With hard float configurations any
effect is transient anyway as read-only bits will retain their values at
the time the FP context is restored.

commit 4249548454f7ba4581aeee26bd83f42b48a14d15 upstream.

Fix a floating-point context restoration regression introduced with
commit 9b26616c8d9d ("MIPS: Respect the ISA level in FCSR handling")
that causes a Floating Point exception and consequently a kernel oops
with hard float configurations when one or more FCSR Enable and their
corresponding Cause bits are set both at a time via a ptrace(2) call.

To do so reinstate Cause bit masking originally introduced with commit
b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits") to
address this exact problem and then inadvertently removed from the
PTRACE_SETFPREGS request with the commit referred above.

Whilst a PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl is performed there are decisions made
based upon whether the task is executing on the current CPU. This may
change if we're preempted, so disable preemption to avoid such changes

<title>MIPS: Prevent "restoration" of MSA context in non-MSA kernels</title>

commit 6533af4d4831c421cd9aa4dce7cfc19a3514cc09 upstream.

If a kernel doesn't support MSA context (ie. CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA=n) then
it will only keep 64 bits per FP register in thread context, and the
calls to set_fpr64 in restore_msa_extcontext will overrun the end of the
FP register context into the FCSR &amp; MSACSR values. GCC 6.x has become
smart enough to detect this &amp; complain like so:

    arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: In function 'protected_restore_fp_context':
    ./arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h:114:17: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]

The only way to trigger this code to run would be for a program to set
up an artificial extended MSA context structure following a sigframe &amp;

state that it couldn't already, it makes little sense to allow this
"restoration" of MSA context in a system that doesn't support MSA.

Fix this by killing a program with SIGSYS if it tries something as crazy
as "restoring" fake MSA context in this way, also fixing the build error
&amp; allowing for most of restore_msa_extcontext to be optimised out of
kernels without support for MSA.

commit 6533af4d4831c421cd9aa4dce7cfc19a3514cc09 upstream.

If a kernel doesn't support MSA context (ie. CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA=n) then
it will only keep 64 bits per FP register in thread context, and the
calls to set_fpr64 in restore_msa_extcontext will overrun the end of the
FP register context into the FCSR &amp; MSACSR values. GCC 6.x has become
smart enough to detect this &amp; complain like so:

    arch/mips/kernel/signal.c: In function 'protected_restore_fp_context':
    ./arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h:114:17: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]

<title>MIPS: Force CPUs to lose FP context during mode switches</title>

commit 6b8322576e9d325b65c54fbef64e4e8690ad70ce upstream.

Commit 9791554b45a2 ("MIPS,prctl: add PR_[GS]ET_FP_MODE prctl options
for MIPS") added support for the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl, which allows a
userland program to modify its FP mode at runtime. This is most notably
required if dynamic linking leads to the FP mode requirement changing at
runtime from that indicated in the initial executable's ELF header. In
order to avoid overhead in the general FP context restore code, it aimed
to have threads in the process become unable to enable the FPU during a
mode switch &amp; have the thread calling the prctl syscall wait for all
other threads in the process to be context switched at least once. Once
that happens we can know that no thread in the process whose mode will
be switched has live FP context, and it's safe to perform the mode
switch. However in the (rare) case of modeswitches occurring in
multithreaded programs this can lead to indeterminate delays for the
thread invoking the prctl syscall, and the code monitoring for those
context switches was woefully inadequate for all but the simplest cases.

Fix this by broadcasting an IPI if other CPUs may have live FP context
for an affected thread, with a handler causing those CPUs to relinquish
their FPU ownership. Threads will then be allowed to continue running
but will stall on the wait_on_atomic_t in enable_restore_fp_context if
they attempt to use FP again whilst the mode switch is still in
progress. The end result is less fragile poking at scheduler context
switch counts &amp; a more expedient completion of the mode switch.

<title>MIPS: Fix MSA ld_*/st_* asm macros to use PTR_ADDU</title>

commit ea1688573426adc2587ed52d086b51c7c62eaca3 upstream.

The MSA ld_*/st_* assembler macros for when the toolchain doesn't
support MSA use addu to offset the base address. However it is a virtual
memory pointer so fix it to use PTR_ADDU which expands to daddu for
64-bit kernels.
