commit 10835c854685393a921b68f529bf740fa7c9984d upstream.

On parisc the privilege level of a process is stored in the lowest two bits of
the instruction pointers (IAOQ0 and IAOQ1). On Linux we use privilege level 0
for the kernel and privilege level 3 for user-space. So userspace should not be
allowed to modify IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 of a ptraced process to change it's privilege
level to e.g. 0 to try to gain kernel privileges.

This patch prevents such modifications by always setting the two lowest bits to
one (which relates to privilege level 3 for user-space) if IAOQ0 or IAOQ1 are
modified via ptrace calls in the native and compat ptrace paths.

<title>parisc: Fix address in HPMC IVA</title>

commit 1138b6718ff74d2a934459643e3754423d23b5e2 upstream.

Helge noticed that the address of the os_hpmc handler was not being
correctly calculated in the hpmc macro.  As a result, PDCE_CHECK would
fail to call os_hpmc:

&lt;Cpu2&gt; e800009802e00000  0000000000000000  CC_ERR_CHECK_HPMC

&lt;Cpu2&gt; 030010d502e00000  0000000000000000  CC_CPU_STOP

The address problem can be seen by dumping the fault vector:

0000000040159000 &lt;fault_vector_20&gt;:
    40159000:   63 6f 77 73     stb r15,-2447(dp)
    40159004:   20 63 61 6e     ldil L%b747000,r3
    40159008:   20 66 6c 79     ldil L%-1c3b3000,r3
        ...
    40159020:   08 00 02 40     nop
    40159024:   20 6e 60 02     ldil L%15d000,r3
    40159028:   34 63 00 00     ldo 0(r3),r3
    4015902c:   e8 60 c0 02     bv,n r0(r3)
    40159030:   08 00 02 40     nop
    40159034:   00 00 00 00     break 0,0
    40159038:   c0 00 70 00     bb,*&lt; r0,sar,40159840 &lt;fault_vector_20+0x840&gt;
    4015903c:   00 00 00 00     break 0,0

Location 40159038 should contain the physical address of os_hpmc:

000000004015d000 &lt;os_hpmc&gt;:
    4015d000:   08 1a 02 43     copy r26,r3
    4015d004:   01 c0 08 a4     mfctl iva,r4
    4015d008:   48 85 00 68     ldw 34(r4),r5

This patch moves the address setup into initialize_ivt to resolve the
above problem.  I tested the change by dumping the HPMC entry after setup:

0000000040209020:  8000240
0000000040209024: 206a2004
0000000040209028: 34630ac0

commit 7797167ffde1f00446301cb22b37b7c03194cfaf upstream.

Now that we use a sync prior to releasing the locks in syscall.S, we don't need
the PA 2.0 ordered stores used to release some locks.  Using an ordered store,
potentially slows the release and subsequent code.

There are a number of other ordered stores and loads that serve no purpose.  I
have converted these to normal stores.

commit fedb8da96355f5f64353625bf96dc69423ad1826 upstream.

For years I thought all parisc machines executed loads and stores in
order. However, Jeff Law recently indicated on gcc-patches that this is
not correct. There are various degrees of out-of-order execution all the
way back to the PA7xxx processor series (hit-under-miss). The PA8xxx
series has full out-of-order execution for both integer operations, and
loads and stores.

This is described in the following article:
http://web.archive.org/web/20040214092531/http://www.cpus.hp.com/technical_references/advperf.shtml

For this reason, we need to define mb() and to insert a memory barrier
before the store unlocking spinlocks. This ensures that all memory
accesses are complete prior to unlocking. The ldcw instruction performs
the same function on entry.

commit 615b2665fd20c327b631ff1e79426775de748094 upstream.

As found by the ubsan checker, the value of the 'index' variable can be
out of range for the bc[] array:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in arch/parisc/kernel/drivers.c:655:21
index 6 is out of range for type 'char [6]'

commit 88776c0e70be0290f8357019d844aae15edaa967 upstream.

Qemu for PARISC reported on a 32bit SMP parisc kernel strange failures
about "Not-handled unaligned insn 0x0e8011d6 and 0x0c2011c9."

Those opcodes evaluate to the ldcw() assembly instruction which requires
(on 32bit) an alignment of 16 bytes to ensure atomicity.

As it turns out, qemu is correct and in our assembly code in entry.S and
pacache.S we don't pay attention to the required alignment.

This patch fixes the problem by aligning the lock offset in assembly
code in the same manner as we do in our C-code.

<title>parisc: Fix validity check of pointer size argument in new CAS implementation</title>

commit 05f016d2ca7a4fab99d5d5472168506ddf95e74f upstream.

As noted by Christoph Biedl, passing a pointer size of 4 in the new CAS
implementation causes a kernel crash.  The attached patch corrects the
off by one error in the argument validity check.

In reviewing the code, I noticed that we only perform word operations
with the pointer size argument.  The subi instruction intentionally uses
a word condition on 64-bit kernels.  Nullification was used instead of a
cmpib instruction as the branch should never be taken.  The shlw
pseudo-operation generates a depw,z instruction and it clears the target
before doing a shift left word deposit.  Thus, we don't need to clip the
upper 32 bits of this argument on 64-bit kernels.

Tested with a gcc testsuite run with a 64-bit kernel.  The gcc atomic
code in libgcc is the only direct user of the new CAS implementation
that I am aware of.

<title>parisc: Fix double-word compare and exchange in LWS code on 32-bit kernels</title>

commit 374b3bf8e8b519f61eb9775888074c6e46b3bf0c upstream.

As discussed on the debian-hppa list, double-wordcompare and exchange
operations fail on 32-bit kernels.  Looking at the code, I realized that
the ",ma" completer does the wrong thing in the  "ldw,ma  4(%r26), %r29"
instruction.  This increments %r26 and causes the following store to
write to the wrong location.

Note by Helge Deller:
The patch applies cleanly to stable kernel series if this upstream
commit is merged in advance:
f4125cfdb300 ("parisc: Avoid trashing sr2 and sr3 in LWS code").

commit f4125cfdb3008363137f744c101e5d76ead760ba upstream.

There is no need to trash sr2 and sr3 in the Light-weight syscall (LWS).  sr2
already points to kernel space (it's zero in userspace, otherwise syscalls
wouldn't work), and since the LWS code is executed in userspace, we can simply
ignore to preload sr3.
