2018-08-10MIPS: Consistently declare TLB functionsPaul Burton1-3/+1
Since at least the beginning of the git era we've declared our TLB exception handling functions inconsistently. They're actually functions, but we declare them as arrays of u32 where each u32 is an encoded instruction. This has always been the case for arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c, and has also been true for arch/mips/kernel/traps.c since commit 86a1708a9d54 ("MIPS: Make tlb exception handler definitions and declarations match.") which aimed for consistency but did so by consistently making the our C code inconsistent with our assembly. This is all usually harmless, but when using GCC 7 or newer to build a kernel targeting microMIPS (ie. CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS=y) it becomes problematic. With microMIPS bit 0 of the program counter indicates the ISA mode. When bit 0 is zero instructions are decoded using the standard MIPS32 or MIPS64 ISA. When bit 0 is one instructions are decoded using microMIPS. This means that function pointers become odd - their least significant bit is one for microMIPS code. We work around this in cases where we need to access code using loads & stores with our msk_isa16_mode() macro which simply clears bit 0 of the value it is given: #define msk_isa16_mode(x) ((x) & ~0x1) For example we do this for our TLB load handler in build_r4000_tlb_load_handler(): u32 *p = (u32 *)msk_isa16_mode((ulong)handle_tlbl); We then write code to p, expecting it to be suitably aligned (our LEAF macro aligns functions on 4 byte boundaries, so (ulong)handle_tlbl will give a value one greater than a multiple of 4 - ie. the start of a function on a 4 byte boundary, with the ISA mode bit 0 set). This worked fine up to GCC 6, but GCC 7 & onwards is smart enough to presume that handle_tlbl which we declared as an array of u32s must be aligned sufficiently that bit 0 of its address will never be set, and as a result optimize out msk_isa16_mode(). This leads to p having an address with bit 0 set, and when we go on to attempt to store code at that address we take an address error exception due to the unaligned memory access. This leads to an exception prior to the kernel having configured its own exception handlers, so we jump to whatever handlers the bootloader configured. In the case of QEMU this results in a silent hang, since it has no useful general exception vector. Fix this by consistently declaring our TLB-related functions as functions. For handle_tlbl(), handle_tlbs() & handle_tlbm() we do this in asm/tlbex.h & we make use of the existing declaration of tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd() in asm/mmu_context.h. Our TLB handler generation code in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c is adjusted to deal with these definitions, in most cases simply by casting the function pointers to u32 pointers. This allows us to include asm/mmu_context.h in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c to get the definitions of tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd & pgd_current, removing some needless duplication. Consistently using msk_isa16_mode() on function pointers means we no longer need the tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd_start symbol so that is removed entirely. Now that we're declaring our functions as functions GCC stops optimizing out msk_isa16_mode() & a microMIPS kernel built with either GCC 7.3.0 or 8.1.0 boots successfully.

2018-08-01MIPS: Delete unused code in linux32.cPaul Burton1-19/+0
The A() & AA() macros have been unused since commit 05e4396651ca ("[MIPS] Use SYSVIPC_COMPAT to fix various problems on N32"), which switched to the more standard compat_ptr().

The sys_32_mmap2 function has been unused since we started using syscall wrappers in commit dbda6ac08976 ("MIPS: CVE-2009-0029: Enable syscall wrappers."), and is indeed identical to the sys_mips_mmap2 function that replaced it in sys32_call_table.

2018-08-01MIPS: Remove nabi_no_regargsPaul Burton3-25/+35
Our sigreturn functions make use of a macro named nabi_no_regargs to declare 8 dummy arguments to a function, forcing the compiler to expect a pt_regs structure on the stack rather than in argument registers. This is an ugly hack which unnecessarily causes these sigreturn functions to need to care about the calling convention of the ABI the kernel is built for. Although this is abstracted via nabi_no_regargs, it's still ugly & unnecessary. Remove nabi_no_regargs & the struct pt_regs argument from sigreturn functions, and instead use current_pt_regs() to find the struct pt_regs on the stack, which works cleanly regardless of ABI.

2018-07-30MIPS: Allow auto-dection of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET & PHYS_OFFSETPaul Burton1-2/+12
On systems where physical memory begins at a non-zero address, defining PHYS_OFFSET (which influences ARCH_PFN_OFFSET) can save us time & memory by avoiding book-keeping for pages from address zero to the start of memory. Some MIPS platforms already make use of this, but with the definition of PHYS_OFFSET being compile-time constant it hasn't been possible to enable this optimization for a kernel which may run on systems with varying physical memory base addresses. Introduce a new Kconfig option CONFIG_MIPS_AUTO_PFN_OFFSET which, when enabled, makes ARCH_PFN_OFFSET a variable & detects it from the boot memory map (which for example may have been populated from DT). The relationship with PHYS_OFFSET is reversed, with PHYS_OFFSET now being based on ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. This is because ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is used far more often, so avoiding the need for runtime calculation gives us a smaller impact on kernel text size (0.1% rather than 0.15% for 64r6el_defconfig).

2018-07-19MIPS: Add DSP ASE regset supportMaciej W. Rozycki1-0/+189
Define an NT_MIPS_DSP core file note type and implement a corresponding regset holding the DSP ASE register context, following the layout of the `mips_dsp_state' structure, except for the DSPControl register stored as a 64-bit rather than 32-bit quantity in a 64-bit note. The lack of DSP ASE register saving to core files can be considered a design flaw with commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE."), leading to an incomplete state being saved. Consequently no DSP ASE regset has been created with commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view."), when regset support was added to the MIPS port. Additionally there is no way for ptrace(2) to correctly access the DSP accumulator registers in n32 processes with the existing interfaces. This is due to 32-bit truncation of data passed with PTRACE_PEEKUSR and PTRACE_POKEUSR requests, which cannot be avoided owing to how the data types for ptrace(3) have been defined. This new NT_MIPS_DSP regset fills the missing interface gap. [paul.burton@mips.com: - Change NT_MIPS_DSP to 0x800 to avoid conflict with NT_VMCOREDD introduced by commit 2724273e8fd0 ("vmcore: add API to collect hardware dump in second kernel"). - Drop stable tag.

2018-06-28MIPS: Annotate cpu_wait implementations with __cpuidlePaul Burton1-6/+6
Annotate cpu_wait implementations using the __cpuidle macro which places these functions in the .cpuidle.text section. This allows cpu_in_idle() to return true for PC values which fall within these functions, allowing nmi_backtrace() to produce cleaner output for CPUs running idle functions.

2018-06-24MIPS: Schedule on CPUs we need to lose FPU for a mode switchPaul Burton2-45/+42
Commit 6b8322576e9d ("MIPS: Force CPUs to lose FP context during mode switches") ensures that we react to PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl syscalls quickly by broadcasting an IPI in order to cause CPUs to lose FPU access when necessary. Whilst it achieves that, unfortunately it causes all sorts of strange race conditions because: 1) The IPI may arrive at a point where the FPU is in the process of being enabled, but that process is not yet complete leading to a state we aren't prepared to handle.

If this happens then the IPI will be serviced & we'll proceed to enable an FPU whilst the mode switch is in progress, leading to strange & inconsistent behaviour. Further to all of this is a separate but related problem: 4) There are various paths through which we may enable the FPU without the user having triggered a coprocessor 1 disabled exception. These paths are those in which we emulate instructions & then enable the FPU with the expectation that the user might execute an FP instruction shortly afterwards. However these paths have not previously checked whether an FP mode switch is underway for the task, and therefore could enable the FPU whilst such a mode switch is in progress leading to strange & inconsistent behaviour for user code. This patch fixes all of the above by taking a step back & re-examining our approach to FP mode switches. Up until now we have taken these basic steps: a) Prevent any threads that are part of the affected process from being able to obtain ownership of the FPU. b) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already have ownership of an FPU to lose it. c) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected process to reflect the new FP mode. d) Allow threads to obtain ownership of the FPU again. This approach is however more complex than necessary. All that we really require is that the mode switch has occurred for all threads that are part of the affected process before mips_set_process_fp_mode(), and thus the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl() syscall, returns. This doesn't require that we stop threads from owning or using an FPU whilst a mode switch occurs, only that we force them to relinquish it after the mode switch has occurred such that they next own an FPU with the correct mode configured. Our basic steps therefore simplify to: A) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected process to reflect the new FP mode. B) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already have ownership of an FPU to lose it. We implement B) by forcing each CPU which might be running a thread which is part of the affected process to schedule a no-op function, which causes the affected thread to lose its FPU ownership when it is descheduled. The end result is simpler FP mode switching with less overhead in the FPU enable path (ie. enable_restore_fp_context()) and fewer moving parts.

2018-06-14Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variablesLinus Torvalds5-5/+5
The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler supported. That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support directly. HOWEVER. It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file, the sane stack protector configuration would look like CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes, it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would disable it in the new config, resulting in: CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing. The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack protector option, but also the strong one. This does that by just removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users). This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes. The end result would generally look like this: CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler infrastructure, not the user selections.

Return unsuccessfully then from prctl(2) PR_SET_FP_MODE calls requesting PR_FP_MODE_FRE to be set with PR_FP_MODE_FR clear. This corresponds to modes allowed by `mips_set_personality_fp'.

2018-05-15MIPS: perf: Fix perf with MT counting other threadsMatt Redfearn1-39/+39
When perf is used in non-system mode, i.e. without specifying CPUs to count on, check_and_calc_range falls into the case when it sets M_TC_EN_ALL in the counter config_base. This has the impact of always counting for all of the threads in a core, even when the user has not requested it. For example this can be seen with a test program which executes 30002 instructions and 10000 branches running on one VPE and a busy load on the other VPE in the core. Without this commit, the expected count is not returned: taskset 4 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=100000 & taskset 8 perf stat -e instructions:u,branches:u ./test_prog Performance counter stats for './test_prog': 103235 instructions:u 17015 branches:u In order to fix this, remove check_and_calc_range entirely and perform all of the logic in mipsxx_pmu_enable_event. Since mipsxx_pmu_enable_event now requires the range of the event, ensure that it is set by mipspmu_perf_event_encode in the same circumstances as before (i.e. #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP && num_possible_cpus() > 1). The logic of mipsxx_pmu_enable_event now becomes: If the CPU is a BMIPS5000, then use the special vpe_id() implementation to select which VPE to count. If the counter has a range greater than a single VPE, i.e. it is a core-wide counter, then ensure that the counter is set up to count events from all TCs (though, since this is true by definition, is this necessary? Just enabling a core-wide counter in the per-VPE case appears experimentally to return the same counts. This is left in for now as the logic was present before). If the event is set up to count a particular CPU (i.e. system mode), then the VPE ID of that CPU is used for the counter. Otherwise, the event should be counted on the CPU scheduling this thread (this was the critical bit missing from the previous implementation) so the VPE ID of this CPU is used for the counter. With this commit, the same test as before returns the counts expected: taskset 4 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=100000 & taskset 8 perf stat -e instructions:u,branches:u ./test_prog Performance counter stats for './test_prog': 30002 instructions:u 10000 branches:u Signed-off-by: Matt Redfearn <matt.redfearn@mips.com> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/19138/ Signed-off-by: James Hogan <jhogan@kernel.org>
2018-05-15MIPS: perf: Use correct VPE ID when setting up VPE tracingMatt Redfearn1-10/+2
There are a couple of FIXME's in the perf code which state that cpu_data[event->cpu].vpe_id reports 0 for both CPUs. This is no longer the case, since the vpe_id is used extensively by SMP CPS. VPE local counting gets around this by using smp_processor_id() instead. As it happens this does work correctly to count events on the right VPE, but relies on 2 assumptions: a) Always having 2 VPEs / core. b) The hardware only paying attention to the least significant bit of the PERFCTL.VPEID field. If either of these assumptions change then the incorrect VPEs events will be counted. Fix this by replacing smp_processor_id() with cpu_vpe_id(&current_cpu_data), in the vpe_id() macro, and pass vpe_id() to M_PERFCTL_VPEID() when setting up PERFCTL.VPEID. The FIXME's can also be removed since they no longer apply.

2018-05-15MIPS: Probe for MIPS MT perf counters per TCMatt Redfearn1-0/+12
Processors implementing the MIPS MT ASE may have performance counters implemented per core or per TC. Processors implemented by MIPS Technologies signify presence per TC through a bit in the implementation specific Config7 register. Currently the code which probes for their presence blindly reads a magic number corresponding to this bit, despite it potentially having a different meaning in the CPU implementation. Since CPU features are generally detected by cpu-probe.c, perform the detection here instead. Introduce cpu_set_mt_per_tc_perf which checks the bit in config7 and call it from MIPS CPUs known to implement this bit and the MT ASE, specifically, the 34K, 1004K and interAptiv. Once the presence of the per-tc counter is indicated in cpu_data, tests for it can be updated to use this flag.

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared. Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault. Which takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly and then calls force_sig_info. In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

All the current architecture specific defines for these are the same. Refactor these common defines to a common header file. The new common linux/compat_time.h is also useful as it will eventually be used to hold all the defines that are needed for compat time types that support non y2038 safe types. New architectures need not have to define these new types as they will only use new y2038 safe syscalls. This file can be deleted after y2038 when we stop supporting non y2038 safe syscalls.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux Pull removal of in-kernel calls to syscalls from Dominik Brodowski: "System calls are interaction points between userspace and the kernel. Therefore, system call functions such as sys_xyzzy() or compat_sys_xyzzy() should only be called from userspace via the syscall table, but not from elsewhere in the kernel. At least on 64-bit x86, it will likely be a hard requirement from v4.17 onwards to not call system call functions in the kernel: It is better to use use a different calling convention for system calls there, where struct pt_regs is decoded on-the-fly in a syscall wrapper which then hands processing over to the actual syscall function. This means that only those parameters which are actually needed for a specific syscall are passed on during syscall entry, instead of filling in six CPU registers with random user space content all the time (which may cause serious trouble down the call chain). Those x86-specific patches will be pushed through the x86 tree in the near future. Moreover, rules on how data may be accessed may differ between kernel data and user data. This is another reason why calling sys_xyzzy() is generally a bad idea, and -- at most -- acceptable in arch-specific code. This patchset removes all in-kernel calls to syscall functions in the kernel with the exception of arch/.

2018-04-02fs: add ksys_sync_file_range helper(); remove in-kernel calls to syscallDominik Brodowski1-1/+1
Using this helper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to the sys_sync_file_range() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_sync_file_range(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.

2018-04-02fs: add ksys_ftruncate() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to sys_ftruncate()Dominik Brodowski1-1/+1
Using the ksys_ftruncate() wrapper allows us to get rid of in-kernel calls to the sys_ftruncate() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_ftruncate().
