commit 49955d84cd9ccdca5a16a495e448e1a06fad9e49 upstream.

The MIPS sysmips system call handler may return directly from the
MIPS_ATOMIC_SET case (mips_atomic_set()) to syscall_exit. This path
restores the static (callee saved) registers, however they won't have
been saved on entry to the system call.

Use the save_static_function() macro to create a __sys_sysmips wrapper
function which saves the static registers before calling sys_sysmips, so
that the correct static register state is restored by syscall_exit.

<title>MIPS: scall: Always run the seccomp syscall filters</title>

<content type='text'>
The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
syscall code.

<title>MIPS: O32: Do not handle require 32 bytes from the stack to be readable.</title>

Commit 46e12c07b3b9603c60fc1d421ff18618241cb081 (MIPS: O32 / 32-bit:
Always copy 4 stack arguments.) change the O32 syscall handler to always
load four arguments from the userspace stack even for syscalls that
require fewer or no arguments to be copied.  This removes a large table
from kernel space and need to maintain it.  It appeared that it was ok
the implementation chosen requires 16 bytes of readable stack space
above the user stack pointer.

Turned out a few threading implementations munmap the user stack before
the thread exits resulting in errors due to the unreadable stack.

We now treat any failed load as a if the loaded value was zero and let
the actual syscall deal with the situation.

<title>MIPS: Fix restart of indirect syscalls</title>

<content type='text'>
When 32-bit MIPS userspace invokes a syscall indirectly via syscall(number,
arg1, ..., arg7), the kernel looks up the actual syscall based on the given
number, shifts the other arguments to the left, and jumps to the syscall.

If the syscall is interrupted by a signal and indicates it needs to be
restarted by the kernel (by returning ERESTARTNOINTR for example), the
syscall must be called directly, since the number is no longer the first
argument, and the other arguments are now staged for a direct call.

Before shifting the arguments, store the syscall number in pt_regs-&gt;regs[2].
This gets copied temporarily into pt_regs-&gt;regs[0] after the syscall returns.
If the syscall needs to be restarted, handle_signal()/do_signal() copies the
number back to pt_regs-&gt;reg[2], which ends up in $v0 once control returns to
userspace.
