MIPS: ptrace: Fix regs_return_value for kernel context

2016-10-28T07:01:30+00:00

commit 74f1077b5b783e7bf4fa3007cefdc8dbd6c07518 upstream. Currently regs_return_value always negates reg[2] if it determines the syscall has failed, but when called in kernel context this check is invalid and may result in returning a wrong value.

MIPS: OCTEON: Save/Restore wider multiply registers in OCTEON III CPUs

2015-02-20T14:28:29+00:00

The wide multiplier is twice as wide, so we need to save twice as much state. Detect the multiplier type (CPU type) at start up and install model specific handlers.

MIPS: ptrace: Fix user pt_regs definition, use in ptrace_{get, set}regs()

2014-08-01T22:06:37+00:00

In uapi/asm/ptrace.h, a user version of pt_regs is defined wrapped in ifndef __KERNEL__. This structure definition does not match anything used by any kernel API, in particular it does not match the format used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. Therefore, replace the structure definition with one matching what is used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. The format used by these is the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit. Also, change the implementation of PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS to use this new structure definition. The structure is renamed to user_pt_regs when __KERNEL__ is defined to avoid conflicts with the kernel's own pt_regs.

MIPS: O32/32-bit: Fix bug which can cause incorrect system call restarts

2014-08-01T22:06:37+00:00

On 32-bit/O32, pt_regs has a padding area at the beginning into which the syscall arguments passed via the user stack are copied. 4 arguments totalling 16 bytes are copied to offset 16 bytes into this area, however the area is only 24 bytes long. This means the last 2 arguments overwrite pt_regs->regs[{0,1}]. If a syscall function returns an error, handle_sys stores the original syscall number in pt_regs->regs[0] for syscall restart. signal.c checks whether regs[0] is non-zero, if it is it will check whether the syscall return value is one of the ERESTART* codes to see if it must be restarted. Should a syscall be made that results in a non-zero value being copied off the user stack into regs[0], and then returns a positive (non-error) value that matches one of the ERESTART* error codes, this can be mistaken for requiring a syscall restart. While the possibility for this to occur has always existed, it is made much more likely to occur by commit 46e12c07b3b9 ("MIPS: O32 / 32-bit: Always copy 4 stack arguments."), since now every syscall will copy 4 arguments and overwrite regs[0], rather than just those with 7 or 8 arguments. Since that commit, booting Debian under a 32-bit MIPS kernel almost always results in a hang early in boot, due to a wait4 syscall returning a PID that matches one of the ERESTART* codes, which then causes an incorrect restart of the syscall. The problem is fixed by increasing the size of the padding area so that arguments copied off the stack will not overwrite pt_regs->regs[{0,1}].

MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC support

2014-05-23T22:07:01+00:00

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase. Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D. Kissell is an ingenious demonstration for the MT ASE's power and elegance. Based on Markos Chandras patch https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to merge once upon a time.

MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls (o32)

2014-03-26T22:09:08+00:00

When userland uses syscall() to perform an indirect system call the actually system call that needs to be checked by the filter is on the first argument. The kernel code needs to handle this case by looking at the original syscall number in v0 and if it's NR_syscall, then it needs to examine the first argument to identify the real system call that will be executed. Similarly, we need to 'virtually' shift the syscall() arguments so the syscall_get_arguments() function can fetch the correct arguments for the indirect system call.
