MIPS: Fix sched_getaffinity with MT FPAFF enabled

2015-10-13T02:46:01+00:00

commit 1d62d737555e1378eb62a8bba26644f7d97139d2 upstream.

p->thread.user_cpus_allowed is zero-initialized and is only filled on
the first sched_setaffinity call.

To avoid adding overhead in the task initialization codepath, simply OR
the returned mask in sched_getaffinity with p->cpus_allowed.

MIPS: Fix enabling of DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW

2015-08-06T23:32:15+00:00

commit 5f35b9cd553fd64415b563497d05a563c988dbd6 upstream.

Commit 334c86c494b9 ("MIPS: IRQ: Add stackoverflow detection") added
kernel stack overflow detection, however it only enabled it conditional
upon the preprocessor definition DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, which is never
actually defined. The Kconfig option is called DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW,
which manifests to the preprocessor as CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, so
switch it to using that definition instead.

MIPS: Fix kernel lockup or crash after CPU offline/online

2015-03-06T00:39:18+00:00

commit c7754e75100ed5e3068ac5085747f2bfc386c8d6 upstream.

As printk() invocation can cause e.g. a TLB miss, printk() cannot be
called before the exception handlers have been properly initialized.
This can happen e.g. when netconsole has been loaded as a kernel module
and the TLB table has been cleared when a CPU was offline.

Call cpu_report() in start_secondary() only after the exception handlers
have been initialized to fix this.

Without the patch the kernel will randomly either lockup or crash
after a CPU is onlined and the console driver is a module.

MIPS: IRQ: Fix disable_irq on CPU IRQs

2015-03-06T00:39:17+00:00

commit a3e6c1eff54878506b2dddcc202df9cc8180facb upstream.

If the irq_chip does not define .irq_disable, any call to disable_irq
will defer disabling the IRQ until it fires while marked as disabled.
This assumes that the handler function checks for this condition, which
handle_percpu_irq does not. In this case, calling disable_irq leads to
an IRQ storm, if the interrupt fires while disabled.

This optimization is only useful when disabling the IRQ is slow, which
is not true for the MIPS CPU IRQ.

Disable this optimization by implementing .irq_disable and .irq_enable

MIPS: mcount: Adjust stack pointer for static trace in MIPS32

2014-11-05T20:27:46+00:00

commit 8a574cfa2652545eb95595d38ac2a0bb501af0ae upstream.

Every mcount() call in the MIPS 32-bit kernel is done as follows:

[...]
move at, ra
jal _mcount
addiu sp, sp, -8
[...]

but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer
is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401c797
(MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing).

Commit ad8c396936e3 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.)
fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely
for MIPS32.

MIPS: perf: Fix build error caused by unused counters_per_cpu_to_total()

MIPS: GIC: Prevent array overrun

2014-09-13T22:41:41+00:00

commit ffc8415afab20bd97754efae6aad1f67b531132b upstream.

A GIC interrupt which is declared as having a GIC_MAP_TO_NMI_MSK
mapping causes the cpu parameter to gic_setup_intr() to be increased
to 32, causing memory corruption when pcpu_masks[] is written to again
later in the function.

MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits

2014-09-13T22:41:40+00:00

commit b1442d39fac2fcfbe6a4814979020e993ca59c9e upstream.

If one or more matching FCSR cause & enable bits are set in saved thread
context then when that context is restored the kernel will take an FP
exception. This is of course undesirable and considered an oops, leading
to the kernel writing a backtrace to the console and potentially
rebooting depending upon the configuration. Thus the kernel avoids this
situation by clearing the cause bits of the FCSR register when handling
FP exceptions and after emulating FP instructions.

However the kernel does not prevent userland from setting arbitrary FCSR
cause & enable bits via ptrace, using either the PTRACE_POKEUSR or
PTRACE_SETFPREGS requests. This means userland can trivially cause the
kernel to oops on any system with an FPU. Prevent this from happening
by clearing the cause bits when writing to the saved FCSR context via
ptrace.

This problem appears to exist at least back to the beginning of the git
era in the PTRACE_POKEUSR case.

MIPS: MSC: Prevent out-of-bounds writes to MIPS SC ioremap'd region

2014-07-11T12:33:55+00:00

commit ab6c15bc6620ebe220970cc040b29bcb2757f373 upstream.

Previously, the lower limit for the MIPS SC initialization loop was
set incorrectly allowing one extra loop leading to writes
beyond the MSC ioremap'd space. More precisely, the value of the 'imp'
in the last loop increased beyond the msc_irqmap_t boundaries and
as a result of which, the 'n' variable was loaded with an incorrect
value. This value was used later on to calculate the offset in the
MSC01_IC_SUP which led to random crashes like the following one:

CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e75c0200,
epc == 8058dba4, ra == 8058db90
[...]
