commit 854236363370995a609a10b03e35fd3dc5e9e4a1 upstream.

Since commit 81a76d7119f6 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with
usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when
cp0_status &amp; ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels
where user and kernel address spaces overlap.

However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on
the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths.
This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer
depending on the previous stack content.

show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so
explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure
we get a useful backtrace.

Fixes: 81a76d7119f6 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with usermode")

<title>MIPS: Check TLB before handle_ri_rdhwr() for Loongson-3</title>

<id>3d5e13d891b0e7f4b7eee97aea1c15037a994d68</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 5a34133167dce36666ea054e30a561b7f4413b7f upstream.

Loongson-3's micro TLB (ITLB) is not strictly a subset of JTLB. That
means: when a JTLB entry is replaced by hardware, there may be an old
valid entry exists in ITLB. So, a TLB miss exception may occur while
handle_ri_rdhwr() is running because it try to access EPC's content.
However, handle_ri_rdhwr() doesn't clear EXL, which makes a TLB Refill
exception be treated as a TLB Invalid exception and tlbp may fail. In
this case, if FTLB (which is usually set-associative instead of set-
associative) is enabled, a tlbp failure will cause an invalid tlbwi,
which will hang the whole system.

This patch rename handle_ri_rdhwr_vivt to handle_ri_rdhwr_tlbp and use
it for Loongson-3. It try to solve the same problem described as below,
but more straightforwards.

https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12591/

I think Loongson-2 has the same problem, but it has no FTLB, so we just
keep it as is.

<title>MIPS: Fix FCSR Cause bit handling for correct SIGFPE issue</title>

<id>5a1aca4469fdccd5b74ba0b4e490173b2b447895</id>
<content type='text'>
Sanitize FCSR Cause bit handling, following a trail of past attempts:

* commit 4249548454f7 ("MIPS: ptrace: Fix FP context restoration FCSR
regression"),

* commit 443c44032a54 ("MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after
emulation"),

* commit 64bedffe4968 ("MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after
notify_die()"),

* commit b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause
bits"),

* commit b54d2901517d ("Properly handle branch delay slots in connection
with signals.").

Specifically do not mask these bits out in ptrace(2) processing and send
a SIGFPE signal instead whenever a matching pair of an FCSR Cause and
Enable bit is seen as execution of an affected context is about to
resume.  Only then clear Cause bits, and even then do not clear any bits
that are set but masked with the respective Enable bits.  Adjust Cause
bit clearing throughout code likewise, except within the FPU emulator
proper where they are set according to IEEE 754 exceptions raised as the
operation emulated executed.  Do so so that any IEEE 754 exceptions
subject to their default handling are recorded like with operations
executed by FPU hardware.

Since commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing

pretty unreadable due to the lack of KERN_CONT markers. Use pr_cont to
provide the appropriate markers &amp; restore the expected register output.

<title>MIPS: Print CM error reports upon bus errors</title>

<content type='text'>
If a bus error occurs on a system with a MIPS Coherence Manager (CM)
then the CM may hold useful diagnostic information. Printing this out
has so far been left up to boards, with the requirement that they
register a board_be_handler function &amp; call mips_cm_error_decode() from
there.

In order to avoid boards other than Malta needing to duplicate this
code, call mips_cm_error_decode() automatically if the board registers
no board_be_handler, and remove the Malta implementation of that.

This patch results in no functional change, but removes a further piece
of platform-specific code.

On CPUs which support the EBase WG (write gate) flag, the most
significant bits of the exception base can be changed. Firmware running
on a VP(E) using MIPS rproc may change EBase to point into the user
segment where the firmware is located such that it can service
interrupts. When control is transferred back to the kernel the EBase
must be switched back into the kernel segment, such that the kernel's
exception vectors are used.

Similarly when vectored interrupts (vint) or vectored external interrupt
controllers (veic) are enabled an exception vector is allocated from
bootmem, and written to the EBase register. Due to the WG flag being
clear, only bits 29:12 will be written. Asside from the rproc case above
this is normally fine (as it will usually be a low allocation within the
KSeg0 range, however when Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) is enabled
the allocation may be outside of the traditional KSeg0/KSeg1 address
range, resulting in the wrong EBase being written.

Correct both cases (configure_exception_vector() for the boot CPU, and
per_cpu_trap_init() for secondary CPUs) to write EBase with the WG flag
first if supported.

On the Malta EVA configuration, KSeg0 is mapped to physical address 0,
and memory is allocated from the KUSeg segment which is mapped to
physical address 0x80000000, which physically aliases the RAM at 0. This
only worked due to the exception base address aliasing the same
underlying RAM that was written to &amp; cache flushed, and due to
flush_icache_range() going beyond the call of duty and flushing from the
L2 cache too (due to the differing physical addresses).

When allocating boot memory for the exception vector when vectored
interrupts (vint) or vectored external interrupt controllers (veic) are
enabled, try to ensure that the virtual address resides in KSeg0 (and
WARN should that not be possible).

This will be helpful on MIPS64 cores supporting the CP0_EBase Write Gate
(WG) bit once we start using the WG bit to write the full ebase into
CP0_EBase, as we ideally need to avoid hitting the architecturally
poorly defined exception base for Cache Errors when CP0_EBase is in
XKPhys.

An exception is made for Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) kernels which
allow segments to be rearranged and to become uncached during cache
error handling, making it valid for ebase to be elsewhere.
