MIPS: uaccess: Take EVA into account in [__]clear_user

2015-12-22T10:58:43+00:00

__clear_user() (and clear_user() which uses it), always access the user
mode address space, which results in EVA store instructions when EVA is
enabled even if the current user address limit is KERNEL_DS.

Fix this by adding a new symbol __bzero_kernel for the normal kernel
address space bzero in EVA mode, and call that from __clear_user() if
eva_kernel_access().

MIPS: Export MSA functions used by lose_fpu(1) for KVM

2015-02-19T14:59:44+00:00

Export the _save_msa asm function used by the lose_fpu(1) macro to GPL
modules so that KVM can make use of it when it is built as a module.

This fixes the following build error when CONFIG_KVM=m and
CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA=y due to commit f798217dfd03 ("KVM: MIPS: Don't leak
FPU/DSP to guest"):

ERROR: "_save_msa" [arch/mips/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!

MIPS: Use generic checksum functions for MIPS R6

2015-02-17T15:37:19+00:00

The following instructions have been removed from MIPS R6

ulw, ulh, swl, lwr, lwl, swr.

However, all of them are used in the MIPS specific checksum implementation.
As a result of which, we will use the generic checksum on MIPS R6

MIPS: checksum: Split the 'copy_user' symbol

2014-03-26T22:09:17+00:00

The 'copy_user' symbol can be used to copy from or to
userland so we will use two different symbols for these
operations. This makes no difference in the existing code,
but when the core is operating in EVA mode, different instructions
need to be used to read and write to userland address space.
The old function has also been renamed to 'copy_kernel' to denote
that it is suitable for copy data to and from kernel space.

MIPS: lib: memcpy: Add EVA support

2014-03-26T22:09:14+00:00

Add copy_{to,from,in}_user when the CPU operates in EVA mode.
This is necessary so the EVA specific instructions can be used
to perform the virtual to physical translation for user space
addresses. We will use the non-EVA functions to read from kernel
if needed.

MIPS: lib: strncpy_user: Add EVA support

2014-03-26T22:09:14+00:00

In non-EVA mode, strncpy_from_user* aliases are used for the
strncpy_from_kernel* symbols since the code is identical. In EVA
mode, new strcpy_from_user* symbols are used which use the EVA
specific instructions to load values from userspace.
