KVM: MIPS: Flush KVM entry code from icache globally

2017-01-12T10:39:09+00:00

commit 32eb12a6c11034867401d56b012e3c15d5f8141e upstream.

Flush the KVM entry code from the icache on all CPUs, not just the one
that built the entry code.

KVM: MIPS: Don't clobber CP0_Status.UX

2017-01-12T10:39:09+00:00

commit 4c881451d3017033597ea186cf79ae41a73e1ef8 upstream.

On 64-bit kernels, MIPS KVM will clear CP0_Status.UX to prevent the
guest (running in user mode) from accessing the 64-bit memory segments.
However the previous value of CP0_Status.UX is never restored when
exiting from the guest.

If the user process uses 64-bit addressing (the n64 ABI) this can result
in address error exceptions from the kernel if it needs to deliver a
signal before returning to user mode, as the kernel will need to write a
sigframe to high user addresses on the user stack which are disallowed
by CP0_Status.UX=0.

This is fixed by explicitly setting SX and UX again when exiting from
the guest, and explicitly clearing those bits when returning to the
guest. Having the SX and UX bits set when handling guest exits (rather
than only when exiting to userland) will be helpful when we support VZ,
since we shouldn't need to directly read or write guest memory, so it
will be valid for cache management IPIs to access host user addresses.

ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm

2017-01-06T09:40:13+00:00

commit 84d77d3f06e7e8dea057d10e8ec77ad71f721be3 upstream.

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.

MIPS: Return -ENODEV from weak implementation of rtc_mips_set_time

2016-12-11T10:19:04+00:00

The sync_cmos_clock function in kernel/time/ntp.c first tries to update
the internal clock of the cpu by calling the "update_persistent_clock64"
architecture specific function.  If this returns -ENODEV, it then tries
to update an external RTC using "rtc_set_ntp_time".

On the mips architecture, the weak implementation of the underlying
function would return 0 if it wasn't overridden.  This meant that the
sync_cmos_clock function would never try to update an external RTC
(if both CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC are
configured)

Returning -ENODEV instead, means that an external RTC will be tried.

MIPS: mm: Fix output of __do_page_fault

2016-11-25T11:08:10+00:00

Since commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") the output from __do_page_fault on MIPS has been
pretty unreadable due to the lack of KERN_CONT markers. Use pr_cont
to provide the appropriate markers & restore the expected output.

MIPS: Mask out limit field when calculating wired entry count

2016-11-24T15:44:16+00:00

Since MIPSr6 the Wired register is split into 2 fields, with the upper
16 bits of the register indicating a limit on the value that the wired
entry count in the bottom 16 bits of the register can take. This means
that simply reading the wired register doesn't get us a valid TLB entry
index any longer, and we instead need to retrieve only the lower 16 bits
of the register. Introduce a new num_wired_entries() function which does
this on MIPSr6 or higher and simply returns the value of the wired
register on older architecture revisions, and make use of it when
reading the number of wired entries.

Since commit e710d6668309 ("MIPS: tlb-r4k: If there are wired entries,
don't use TLBINVF") we have been using a non-zero number of wired
entries to determine whether we should avoid use of the tlbinvf
instruction (which would invalidate wired entries) and instead loop over
TLB entries in local_flush_tlb_all(). This loop begins with the number
of wired entries, or before this patch some large bogus TLB index on
MIPSr6 systems. Thus since the aforementioned commit some MIPSr6 systems
with FTLBs have been prone to leaving stale address translations in the
FTLB & crashing in various weird & wonderful ways when we later observe
the wrong memory.

MIPS: Fix max_low_pfn with disabled highmem

2016-11-04T00:45:22+00:00

When low memory doesn't reach HIGHMEM_START (e.g. up to 256MB at PA=0 is
common) and highmem is present above HIGHMEM_START (e.g. on Malta the
RAM overlayed by the IO region is aliased at PA=0x90000000), max_low_pfn
will be initially calculated very large and then clipped down to
HIGHMEM_START.

This causes crashes when reading /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
(i.e. CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING=y) when highmem is disabled. pfn_valid()
will compare against max_mapnr which is derived from max_low_pfn when
there is no highend_pfn set up, and will return true for PFNs right up
to HIGHMEM_START, even though they are beyond the end of low memory and
no page structs will actually exist for these PFNs.

This is fixed by skipping high memory regions when initially calculating
max_low_pfn if highmem is disabled, so it doesn't get clipped too high.
We also clip regions which overlap the highmem boundary when highmem is
disabled, so that max_pfn doesn't extend into highmem either.

MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP sigcontext layout

2016-11-04T00:39:23+00:00

Complement commit 80cbfad79096 ("MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP context
layout") and correct the way Floating Point General registers are stored
in a signal context with MIPS I hardware.

Use the S.D and L.D assembly macros to have pairs of SWC1 instructions
and pairs of LWC1 instructions produced, respectively, in an arrangement
which makes the memory representation of floating-point data passed
compatible with that used by hardware SDC1 and LDC1 instructions, where
available, regardless of the hardware endianness used.  This matches the
layout used by r4k_fpu.S, ensuring run-time compatibility for MIPS I
software across all o32 hardware platforms.

Define an EX2 macro to handle exceptions from both hardware instructions
implicitly produced from S.D and L.D assembly macros.
