commit a60ae81e5e5918138703f22427dd8f2445985b55 upstream.

Fix mips_cm_max_vp_width for UP kernels where it previously referenced
smp_num_siblings, which is not declared for UP kernels. This led to
build errors such as the following:

  drivers/built-in.o: In function `$L446':
  irq-mips-gic.c:(.text+0x1994): undefined reference to `smp_num_siblings'
  drivers/built-in.o:irq-mips-gic.c:(.text+0x199c): more undefined references to `smp_num_siblings' follow

On UP kernels simply return 1, leaving the reference to smp_num_siblings
in place only for SMP kernels.

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.

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.

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.

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.

commit bd239f1e1429e7781096bf3884bdb1b2b1bb4f28 upstream.

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
for the lifetime of the mode switch.

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

<content type='text'>
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]
      fpr-&gt;val##width[FPR_IDX(width, idx)] = val;   \
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ./arch/mips/include/asm/processor.h:118:1: note: in expansion of macro 'BUILD_FPR_ACCESS'
     BUILD_FPR_ACCESS(64)

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;
execute sigreturn. Whilst this doesn't allow a program to write to any
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.
