<id>f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b</id>
<content type='text'>
Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.

Use 64-bit accesses for 64-bit floating-point general registers with
PTRACE_PEEKUSR, removing the truncation of their upper halves in the
FR=1 mode, caused by commit bbd426f542cb ("MIPS: Simplify FP context
access"), which inadvertently switched them to using 32-bit accesses.

The PTRACE_POKEUSR side is fine as it's never been broken and continues
using 64-bit accesses.

Correct comments across ptrace(2) handlers about an FPU register context
layout discrepancy between MIPS I and later ISAs, which was fixed with
`linux-mips.org' (LMO) commit 42533948caac ("Major pile of FP emulator
changes."), the fix corrected with LMO commit 849fa7a50dff ("R3k FPU
ptrace() handling fixes."), and then broken and fixed over and over
again, until last time fixed with commit 80cbfad79096 ("MIPS: Correct
MIPS I FP context layout").

NB running the GDB test suite for the relevant ABI/ISA and watching out
for regressions is advisable when poking around ptrace(2).

<title>MIPS/ptrace: Update syscall nr on register changes</title>

<id>de8cd0dc834f2294bcf20240ea037c3864bc4f9a</id>
<content type='text'>
Update the thread_info::syscall field when registers are modified via
ptrace to change or cancel the system call being entered.

This is important to allow seccomp and the syscall entry and exit trace
events to observe the new syscall number changed by the normal ptrace
hook or seccomp. That includes allowing seccomp's recheck of the system
call number after SECCOMP_RET_TRACE to notice if the syscall is changed
to a denied one, which happens in seccomp since commit ce6526e8afa4
("seccomp: recheck the syscall after RET_TRACE") in v4.8.

In the process of doing this, the logic to determine whether an indirect
system call is in progress (i.e. the O32 ABI's syscall()) is abstracted
into mips_syscall_is_indirect(), and a new mips_syscall_update_nr() is
used to update the thread_info::syscall based on the register state.

The following ptrace operations are updated:
 - PTRACE_SETREGS (ptrace_setregs()).
 - PTRACE_SETREGSET with NT_PRSTATUS (gpr32_set() and gpr64_set()).
 - PTRACE_POKEUSR with 2/v0 or 4/a0 for indirect syscall
   ([compat_]arch_ptrace()).

We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*&lt;asm/uaccess.h&gt;'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

<title>ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm</title>

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.

Fixes: v1.0

<title>mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags</title>

This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
