the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions. This was

The GIC user offset is mapped into every process' virtual address and is
therefore part of the hot-path of arch_setup_additional_pages(). Utilize
__pa() such that we are more optimal even when CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL is
enabled, and while at it utilize PFN_DOWN() instead of open-coding the
right shift by PAGE_SHIFT.

Provide hooks to intercept bad usages of virt_to_phys() and
__pa_symbol() throughout the kernel. To make this possible, we need to
rename the current implement of virt_to_phys() into
__virt_to_phys_nodebug() and wrap it around depending on
CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL.

A similar thing is needed for __pa_symbol() which is now aliased to
__phys_addr_symbol() whose implementation is either the direct return of
RELOC_HIDE or goes through the debug version.

MIPS protection bits are setup during runtime so using defines like
PAGE_READONLY ignores these runtime changes. To fix this we simply
use the page protection of the setup vma.

The mips vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of the
newly introduced generic vDSO library.

Introduce the following changes:
 - Modification of vdso.c to be compliant with the common vdso datapage
 - Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday

<title>MIPS: math-emu: Write-protect delay slot emulation pages</title>

<content type='text'>
Mapping the delay slot emulation page as both writeable &amp; executable
presents a security risk, in that if an exploit can write to &amp; jump into
the page then it can be used as an easy way to execute arbitrary code.

Prevent this by mapping the page read-only for userland, and using
access_process_vm() with the FOLL_FORCE flag to write to it from
mips_dsemul().

This will likely be less efficient due to copy_to_user_page() performing
cache maintenance on a whole page, rather than a single line as in the
previous use of flush_cache_sigtramp(). However this delay slot
emulation code ought not to be running in any performance critical paths
anyway so this isn't really a problem, and we can probably do better in
copy_to_user_page() anyway in future.

A major advantage of this approach is that the fix is small &amp; simple to
backport to stable kernels.
