<id>urn:sha1:6da475d078a79b8c216a36252a08272e241d6ad0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0758b116b4080d9a2a2a715bec6eee2cbd828215 upstream.

The protected_writeback_scache_line() function is used by
local_r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() to flush an FPU delay slot emulation
trampoline on the userland stack from the caches so it is visible to
subsequent instruction fetches.

Commit de8974e3f76c ("MIPS: asm: r4kcache: Add EVA cache flushing
functions") updated some protected_ cache flush functions to use EVA
CACHEE instructions via protected_cachee_op(), and commit 83fd43449baa
("MIPS: r4kcache: Add EVA case for protected_writeback_dcache_line") did
the same thing for protected_writeback_dcache_line(), but
protected_writeback_scache_line() never got updated. Lets fix that now
to flush the right user address from the secondary cache rather than
some arbitrary kernel unmapped address.

This issue was spotted through code inspection, and it seems unlikely to
be possible to hit this in practice. It theoretically affect EVA kernels
on EVA capable cores with an L2 cache, where the icache fetches straight
from RAM (cpu_icache_snoops_remote_store == 0), running a hard float
userland with FPU disabled (nofpu). That both Malta and Boston platforms
override cpu_icache_snoops_remote_store to 1 suggests that all MIPS
cores fetch instructions into icache straight from L2 rather than RAM.

<title>MIPS: r4kcache: Use correct base register for MIPS R6 cache flushes</title>

Commit 934c79231c1b("MIPS: asm: r4kcache: Add MIPS R6 cache unroll
functions") added support for MIPS R6 cache flushes but it used the
wrong base address register to perform the flushes so the same lines
were flushed over and over. Moreover, replace the "addiu" instructions
with LONG_ADDIU so the correct base address is calculated for 64-bit
cores.

MIPS R6 changed the 'cache' instruction opcode and reduced the
offset field to 8 bits. This means we now have to adjust the
base register every 256 bytes and as a result of which we can
no longer use the previous cache functions.

<title>MIPS: r4kcache: Add EVA case for protected_writeback_dcache_line</title>

Commit de8974e3f76c0 ("MIPS: asm: r4kcache: Add EVA cache flushing
functions") added cache function for EVA using the cachee instruction.
However, it didn't add a case for the protected_writeback_dcache_line.
mips_dsemul() calls r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() which in turn uses
the protected_writeback_dcache_line() to flush the trampoline code
back to memory. This used the wrong "cache" instruction leading to
random userland crashes on non-FPU cores.

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 &lt;kevink@paralogos.com&gt; is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.

Based on Markos Chandras &lt;Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com&gt; 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.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension

during a kernel build.  Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.

This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.
