commit fef40be6da856afead4177aaa9d869a66fb3381f upstream.

Fix commit 319824eabc3f ("MIPS: kernel: branch: Do not emulate the
branch likelies on MIPS R6") and also send SIGILL rather than returning
-SIGILL for BLTZAL, BLTZALL, BGEZAL and BGEZALL instruction encodings no
longer supported in R6, except where emulated.  Returning -SIGILL is
never correct as the API defines this function's result upon error to be
-EFAULT and a signal actually issued.

commit 1f4edde422961397cf4470b347958c13c6a740bb upstream.

Use the more accurate `sigill_r2r6' name for the label used in the case
of sending SIGILL in the absence of the instruction emulator for an
earlier ISA level instruction that has been removed as from the R6 ISA,
so that the `sigill_r6' name is freed for the situation where an R6
instruction is not supposed to be interpreted, because the executing
processor does not support the R6 ISA.

commit 7b82c1058ac1f8f8b9f2b8786b1f710a57a870a8 upstream.

Fix commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and
send SIGILL rather than SIGBUS whenever an unimplemented BPOSGE32 DSP
ASE instruction has been encountered in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
as our Reserved Instruction exception handler would in response to an
attempt to actually execute the instruction.  Sending SIGBUS only makes
sense for the unaligned PC case, since moved to `__compute_return_epc'.
Adjust function documentation accordingly, correct formatting and use
`pr_info' rather than `printk' as the other exit path already does.

commit 1a73d9310e093fc3adffba4d0a67b9fab2ee3f63 upstream.

The code handling the pop76 opcode (ie. bnezc &amp; jialc instructions) in
__compute_return_epc_for_insn() needs to set the value of $31 in the
jialc case, which is encoded with rs = 0. However its check to
differentiate bnezc (rs != 0) from jialc (rs = 0) was unfortunately
backwards, meaning that if we emulate a bnezc instruction we clobber $31
&amp; if we emulate a jialc instruction it actually behaves like a jic
instruction.

Fix this by inverting the check of rs to match the way the instructions
are actually encoded.

branch compact instructions. However, it missed the case for those which
use the old BLEZL and BGTZL opcodes leading to random crashes when the R6
emulator is disabled. We fix this by ensuring that the 'rt' field is not
zero which is always true for these branch compact instructions.

Remove a cast to the 'mips16e_instruction' union inside an if
condition and instead do an assignment to a local
'union mips16e_instruction' variable's 'full' member before the if
statement and use this variable in the if condition.

This is the error message reported by clang:
arch/mips/kernel/branch.c:38:8: error: cast to union type from type 'unsigned short' not present in union
                if (((union mips16e_instruction)inst).ri.opcode
                     ^                          ~~~~

MIPS R6 removed quite a few R2 instructions. However, there
is plenty of &lt;R6 userland code so we add an in-kernel emulator
so we can still be able to execute all R2 userland out there.

The emulator comes with a handy debugfs under /mips/ directory
(r2-emul-stats) to provide some basic statistics of the
instructions that are being emulated.

Below are some statistics from booting a minimal buildroot image:
