MIPS: Handle microMIPS jumps in the same way as MIPS32/MIPS64 jumps

2017-03-12T05:41:40+00:00

commit 096a0de427ea333f56f0ee00328cff2a2731bcf1 upstream.

is_jump_ins() checks for plain jump ("j") instructions since commit
e7438c4b893e ("MIPS: Fix sibling call handling in get_frame_info") but
that commit didn't make the same change to the microMIPS code, leaving
it inconsistent with the MIPS32/MIPS64 code. Handle the microMIPS
encoding of the jump instruction too such that it behaves consistently.

MIPS: Calculate microMIPS ra properly when unwinding the stack

2017-03-12T05:41:40+00:00

commit bb9bc4689b9c635714fbcd5d335bad9934a7ebfc upstream.

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a
stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction,
treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works
for MIPS32 & MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's
incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we
typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS.

Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address
offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in
the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the
ra/$31 register.

With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the
microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce:

MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handling of microMIPS function size

2017-03-12T05:41:40+00:00

commit b6c7a324df37bf05ef7a2c1580683cf10d082d97 upstream.

get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128
instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not
reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since
we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the
function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In
microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length.

Fix this by instead checking whether the pointer to the current
instruction has reached the end of the function, and use max_insns as a
simple constant to check the number of iterations against.

MIPS: Prevent unaligned accesses during stack unwinding

2017-03-12T05:41:40+00:00

commit a3552dace7d1d0cabf573e88fc3025cb90c4a601 upstream.

During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what
type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer
provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned
address & we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the
union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the
required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned
union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely.
The is_jump_ins() & is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform
this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte
fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception.

Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union
mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte
aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do
not need to deal with misalignment themselves.

MIPS: Clear ISA bit correctly in get_frame_info()

2017-03-12T05:41:40+00:00

commit ccaf7caf2c73c6db920772bf08bf1d47b2170634 upstream.

get_frame_info() can be called in microMIPS kernels with the ISA bit
already clear. For example this happens when unwind_stack_by_address()
is called because we begin with a PC that has the ISA bit set & subtract
the (odd) offset from the preceding symbol (which does not have the ISA
bit set). Since get_frame_info() unconditionally subtracts 1 from the PC
in microMIPS kernels it incorrectly misaligns the address it then
attempts to access code at, leading to an address error exception.

Fix this by using msk_isa16_mode() to clear the ISA bit, which allows
get_frame_info() to function regardless of whether it is provided with a
PC that has the ISA bit set or not.

nmi_backtrace: add more trigger_*_cpu_backtrace() methods

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9.

This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote
backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small
improvements along the way.

The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are
scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is
about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu.  It can be helpful to see both
where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the
cpu that is being interrupted is.  The nmi_backtrace framework allows us
to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu.

I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested
x86, arm, mips, and sparc64.  For x86 I confirmed that the generic
cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the
new cpuidle section.  For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it
and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle
section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific
idle routines might be.  That might be more usefully done by someone
with platform experience in follow-up patches.

This patch (of 4):

Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all
cpus but yourself.  It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace
of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to
support a cpumask as the underlying primitive.

This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a
cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use
the new "cpumask" method instead.

The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to
using the new cpumask approach in this change.

The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted
to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach.
The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it
will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

MIPS: Avoid a BUG warning during prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...)

2016-09-19T14:18:05+00:00

cpu_has_fpu macro uses smp_processor_id() and is currently executed
with preemption enabled, that triggers the warning at runtime.

It is assumed throughout the kernel that if any CPU has an FPU, then all
CPUs would have an FPU as well, so it is safe to perform the check with
preemption enabled - change the code to use raw_ variant of the check to
avoid the warning.

MIPS: Use per-mm page to execute branch delay slot instructions

2016-08-02T07:28:53+00:00

In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay
slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include:

  - Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems
    which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the
    "nofpu" parameter.

  - MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the
    architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings
    are no longer valid in MIPSr6.

Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the
instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and
executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire
MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to
the user stack and executed from there.

This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and
into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access
to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other
solutions is relatively simple.

When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame.
A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may
only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to
ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded
in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay
slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU
code. This traps back to the kernel & leads to a call to do_dsemulret
which frees the allocated frame & moves the user PC back to the
instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch.
In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a
branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break
instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed
this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any
allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an
exception & leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed
if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is
executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit
the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC
to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal
delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a
sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had
meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within
the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code.

Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch
to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an
infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would:

  - Only affect the users single process.

  - Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the
    delay slot, which is forbidden.

  - Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program
    with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop
    would.

If a thread requires a delay slot emulation & no frame is available to
it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are
currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until
a frame is freed by another thread in the process.

Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our
tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as
we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may
only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct
emuframe is also removed & the PC to continue from is instead stored in
struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify & shrink struct
emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page
allocated for them.

The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the
user stack non-executable where that is possible.
