[ Upstream commit 20d7338f2d3bcb570068dd6d39b16f1a909fe976 ]

The kernel UAPI headers already contain fixed-width integer types, there
is no need to rely on the libc types. There may not be a libc available
or the libc may not provides the &lt;stdint.h&gt;, like for example on nolibc.

This also aligns the header with the rest of the LoongArch UAPI headers.

<title>LoongArch: Extend the maximum number of watchpoints</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cfa6d9424c0e22bff263c997ee83a7260a99518c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 531936dee53e471a3ec668de3c94ca357f54b7e8 upstream.

The maximum number of load/store watchpoints and fetch instruction
watchpoints is 14 each according to LoongArch Reference Manual, so
extend the maximum number of watchpoints from 8 to 14 for ptrace.

By the way, just simply change 8 to 14 for the definition in struct
user_watch_state at the beginning, but it may corrupt uapi, then add
a new struct user_watch_state_v2 directly.

As far as I can tell, the only users for this struct in the userspace
are GDB and LLDB, there are no any problems of software compatibility
between the application and kernel according to the analysis.

The compatibility problem has been considered while developing and
testing. When the applications in the userspace get watchpoint state,
the length will be specified which is no bigger than the sizeof struct
user_watch_state or user_watch_state_v2, the actual length is assigned
as the minimal value of the application and kernel in the generic code
of ptrace:

kernel/ptrace.c: ptrace_regset():

	kiov-&gt;iov_len = min(kiov-&gt;iov_len,
			   (__kernel_size_t) (regset-&gt;n * regset-&gt;size));

	if (req == PTRACE_GETREGSET)
		return copy_regset_to_user(task, view, regset_no, 0,
					  kiov-&gt;iov_len, kiov-&gt;iov_base);
	else
		return copy_regset_from_user(task, view, regset_no, 0,
					  kiov-&gt;iov_len, kiov-&gt;iov_base);

For example, there are four kind of combinations, all of them work well.

(1) "older kernel + older gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200;
(2) "newer kernel + newer gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*14=344;
(3) "older kernel + newer gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200;
(4) "newer kernel + older gdb", the actual length is 8+(8+8+4+4)*8=200.

<id>urn:sha1:9d91b004df9a6aa2487661e52a398fd808184955</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 7697a0fe0154468f5df35c23ebd7aa48994c2cdc upstream.

Chromium sandbox apparently wants to deny statx [1] so it could properly
inspect arguments after the sandboxed process later falls back to fstat.
Because there's currently not a "fd-only" version of statx, so that the
sandbox has no way to ensure the path argument is empty without being
able to peek into the sandboxed process's memory. For architectures able
to do newfstatat though, glibc falls back to newfstatat after getting
-ENOSYS for statx, then the respective SIGSYS handler [2] takes care of
inspecting the path argument, transforming allowed newfstatat's into
fstat instead which is allowed and has the same type of return value.

But, as LoongArch is the first architecture to not have fstat nor
newfstatat, the LoongArch glibc does not attempt falling back at all
when it gets -ENOSYS for statx -- and you see the problem there!

Actually, back when the LoongArch port was under review, people were
aware of the same problem with sandboxing clone3 [3], so clone was
eventually kept. Unfortunately it seemed at that time no one had noticed
statx, so besides restoring fstat/newfstatat to LoongArch uapi (and
postponing the problem further), it seems inevitable that we would need
to tackle seccomp deep argument inspection.

However, this is obviously a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly,
so we just restore fstat/newfstatat by defining __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT
in unistd.h. This is the simplest solution for now, and so we hope the
community will tackle the long-standing problem of seccomp deep argument
inspection in the future [4][5].

Also add "newstat" to syscall_abis_64 in Makefile.syscalls due to
upstream asm-generic changes.

Loongson Binary Translation (LBT) is used to accelerate binary translation,
which contains 4 scratch registers (scr0 to scr3), x86/ARM eflags (eflags)
and x87 fpu stack pointer (ftop).

This patch support kernel to save/restore these registers, handle the LBT
exception and maintain sigcontext.

Loongson-3A6000 and newer processors have hardware page table walker
(PTW) support. PTW can handle all fastpaths of TLBI/TLBL/TLBS/TLBM
exceptions by hardware, software only need to handle slowpaths (page
faults).

BTW, PTW doesn't append _PAGE_MODIFIED for page table entries, so we
change pmd_dirty() and pte_dirty() to also check _PAGE_DIRTY for the
"dirty" attribute.

<id>urn:sha1:616500232e632dba8b03981eeccadacf2fbf1c30</id>
<content type='text'>
Add LoongArch's vector extensions support, which including 128bit LSX
(i.e., Loongson SIMD eXtension) and 256bit LASX (i.e., Loongson Advanced
SIMD eXtension).

Linux kernel doesn't use vector itself, it only handle exceptions and
context save/restore. So it only needs a subset of these instructions:

* Vector load/store:   vld vst vldx vstx xvld xvst xvldx xvstx
* 8bit-elements move:  vpickve2gr.b xvpickve2gr.b vinsgr2vr.b xvinsgr2vr.b
* 16bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.h xvpickve2gr.h vinsgr2vr.h xvinsgr2vr.h
* 32bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.w xvpickve2gr.w vinsgr2vr.w xvinsgr2vr.w
* 64bit-elements move: vpickve2gr.d xvpickve2gr.d vinsgr2vr.d xvinsgr2vr.d
* Elements permute:    vpermi.w vpermi.d xvpermi.w xvpermi.d xvpermi.q

Introduce AS_HAS_LSX_EXTENSION and AS_HAS_LASX_EXTENSION to avoid non-
vector toolchains complains unsupported instructions.

Now we specify the minimal version of GCC as 5.1 and Clang/LLVM as 11.0.0
in Documentation/process/changes.rst, __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__ are
usable, it is probably fine to unify the definition of __BITS_PER_LONG as
(__CHAR_BIT__ * __SIZEOF_LONG__) in asm-generic uapi bitsperlong.h.

In order to keep safe and avoid regression, only unify uapi bitsperlong.h
for some archs such as arm64, riscv and loongarch which are using newer
toolchains that have the definitions of __CHAR_BIT__ and __SIZEOF_LONG__.
