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

2014-06-26T09:48:23Z

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 [...] Call Trace: [<8058dba4>] init_msc_irqs+0x104/0x154 [<8058b5bc>] arch_init_irq+0xd8/0x154 [<805897b0>] start_kernel+0x220/0x36c Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!

Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals"

2014-06-26T09:48:18Z

This reverts commit eec43a224cf1 "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals" and the MSA parts of ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel: signal: Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory" (the restore path of which appears incorrect anyway...). The reverted patch took care not to break compatibility with userland users of struct sigcontext, but inadvertantly changed the offset of the uc_sigmask field of struct ucontext. Thus Linux v3.15 breaks the userland ABI. The MSA context will need to be saved via some other opt-in mechanism, but for now revert the change to reduce the fallout. This will have minimal impact upon use of MSA since the only supported CPU which includes it (the P5600) is 32-bit and therefore requires that the experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option be selected before the kernel will set FR=1 for a task, a requirement for MSA use. Thus the users of MSA are limited to known small groups of people & this patch won't be breaking any previously working MSA-using userland outside of experimental settings.

MIPS: pm-cps: convert smp_mb__*()

2014-06-16T11:47:47Z

Commit 91bbefe6b0fc "arch,mips: Convert smp_mb__*()" replaced the smp_mb__* functions with a simpler API, whilst commit 3179d37ee1ed "MIPS: pm-cps: add PM state entry code for CPS systems" introduced new uses of smp_mb__before_atomic_inc & smp_mb__after_clear_bit. Replace those calls with the corresponding before & after atomic functions of the new, simpler API in order to avoid a build failure: arch/mips/kernel/pm-cps.c: In function 'coupled_barrier': arch/mips/kernel/pm-cps.c:104:2: error: 'smp_mb__before_atomic_inc' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/atomic.h:11) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] arch/mips/kernel/pm-cps.c: In function 'cps_pm_enter_state': arch/mips/kernel/pm-cps.c:161:2: error: 'smp_mb__after_clear_bit' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/bitops.h:48) [-Werror=deprecated-declarations] Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Reviewed-by: Markos Chandras Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/7086/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller.
