MIPS: OCTEON: make get_system_type() thread-safe

2014-09-17T14:55:07+00:00

commit 608308682addfdc7b8e2aee88f0e028331d88e4d upstream.

get_system_type() is not thread-safe on OCTEON. It uses static data,
also more dangerous issue is that it's calling cvmx_fuse_read_byte()
every time without any synchronization. Currently it's possible to get
processes stuck looping forever in kernel simply by launching multiple
readers of /proc/cpuinfo:

	(while true; do cat /proc/cpuinfo > /dev/null; done) &
	(while true; do cat /proc/cpuinfo > /dev/null; done) &
	...

Fix by initializing the system type string only once during the early
boot.

MIPS: Remove BUG_ON(!is_fpu_owner()) in do_ade()

2014-09-17T14:55:07+00:00

commit 2e5767a27337812f6850b3fa362419e2f085e5c3 upstream.

In do_ade(), is_fpu_owner() isn't preempt-safe. For example, when an
unaligned ldc1 is executed, do_cpu() is called and then FPU will be
enabled (and TIF_USEDFPU will be set for the current process). Then,
do_ade() is called because the access is unaligned.  If the current
process is preempted at this time, TIF_USEDFPU will be cleard.  So when
the process is scheduled again, BUG_ON(!is_fpu_owner()) is triggered.

This small program can trigger this BUG in a preemptible kernel:

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        double u64[2];

        while (1) {
                asm volatile (
                        ".set push \n\t"
                        ".set noreorder \n\t"
                        "ldc1 $f3, 4(%0) \n\t"
                        ".set pop \n\t"
                        ::"r"(u64):
                );
        }

        return 0;
}

V2: Remove the BUG_ON() unconditionally due to Paul's suggestion.

MIPS: tlbex: Fix a missing statement for HUGETLB

2014-09-17T14:55:07+00:00

commit 8393c524a25609a30129e4a8975cf3b91f6c16a5 upstream.

In commit 2c8c53e28f1 (MIPS: Optimize TLB handlers for Octeon CPUs)
build_r4000_tlb_refill_handler() is modified. But it doesn't compatible
with the original code in HUGETLB case. Because there is a copy & paste
error and one line of code is missing. It is very easy to produce a bug
with LTP's hugemmap05 test.

MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits

2014-09-17T14:55:06+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: GIC: Prevent array overrun

2014-09-17T14:55:06+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: KVM: Fix memory leak on VCPU

2014-07-17T11:43:20+00:00

commit 8c9eb041cf76038eb3b62ee259607eec9b89f48d upstream.

kvm_arch_vcpu_free() is called in 2 code paths:

1) kvm_vm_ioctl()
       kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu()
           kvm_arch_vcpu_destroy()
               kvm_arch_vcpu_free()
2) kvm_put_kvm()
       kvm_destroy_vm()
           kvm_arch_destroy_vm()
               kvm_mips_free_vcpus()
                   kvm_arch_vcpu_free()

Neither of the paths handles VCPU free. We need to do it in
kvm_arch_vcpu_free() corresponding to the memory allocation in
kvm_arch_vcpu_create().

MIPS: KVM: Remove redundant NULL checks before kfree()

commit c6c0a6637f9da54f9472144d44f71cf847f92e20 upstream.

The kfree() function already NULL checks the parameter so remove the
redundant NULL checks before kfree() calls in arch/mips/kvm/.

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

2014-07-17T11:43:16+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

hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64

2014-07-02T10:06:08+00:00

commit c177c81e09e517bbf75b67762cdab1b83aba6976 upstream.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support
pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're
bugs for other archs.  So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

MIPS: KVM: Allocate at least 16KB for exception handlers

2014-07-02T10:05:43+00:00

commit 7006e2dfda9adfa40251093604db76d7e44263b3 upstream.

Each MIPS KVM guest has its own copy of the KVM exception vector. This
contains the TLB refill exception handler at offset 0x000, the general
exception handler at offset 0x180, and interrupt exception handlers at
offset 0x200 in case Cause_IV=1. A common handler is copied to offset
0x2000 and offset 0x3000 is used for temporarily storing k1 during entry
from guest.

However the amount of memory allocated for this purpose is calculated as
0x200 rounded up to the next page boundary, which is insufficient if 4KB
pages are in use. This can lead to the common handler at offset 0x2000
being overwritten and infinitely recursive exceptions on the next exit
from the guest.

Increase the minimum size from 0x200 to 0x4000 to cover the full use of
the page.
