MIPS: Return -ENODEV from weak implementation of rtc_mips_set_time

2016-12-11T10:19:04Z

The sync_cmos_clock function in kernel/time/ntp.c first tries to update the internal clock of the cpu by calling the "update_persistent_clock64" architecture specific function. If this returns -ENODEV, it then tries to update an external RTC using "rtc_set_ntp_time". On the mips architecture, the weak implementation of the underlying function would return 0 if it wasn't overridden. This meant that the sync_cmos_clock function would never try to update an external RTC (if both CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC are configured) Returning -ENODEV instead, means that an external RTC will be tried.

MIPS: Fix max_low_pfn with disabled highmem

2016-11-04T00:45:22Z

When low memory doesn't reach HIGHMEM_START (e.g. up to 256MB at PA=0 is common) and highmem is present above HIGHMEM_START (e.g. on Malta the RAM overlayed by the IO region is aliased at PA=0x90000000), max_low_pfn will be initially calculated very large and then clipped down to HIGHMEM_START. This causes crashes when reading /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap (i.e. CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING=y) when highmem is disabled. pfn_valid() will compare against max_mapnr which is derived from max_low_pfn when there is no highend_pfn set up, and will return true for PFNs right up to HIGHMEM_START, even though they are beyond the end of low memory and no page structs will actually exist for these PFNs. This is fixed by skipping high memory regions when initially calculating max_low_pfn if highmem is disabled, so it doesn't get clipped too high. We also clip regions which overlap the highmem boundary when highmem is disabled, so that max_pfn doesn't extend into highmem either.

MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP sigcontext layout

2016-11-04T00:39:23Z

Complement commit 80cbfad79096 ("MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP context layout") and correct the way Floating Point General registers are stored in a signal context with MIPS I hardware. Use the S.D and L.D assembly macros to have pairs of SWC1 instructions and pairs of LWC1 instructions produced, respectively, in an arrangement which makes the memory representation of floating-point data passed compatible with that used by hardware SDC1 and LDC1 instructions, where available, regardless of the hardware endianness used. This matches the layout used by r4k_fpu.S, ensuring run-time compatibility for MIPS I software across all o32 hardware platforms. Define an EX2 macro to handle exceptions from both hardware instructions implicitly produced from S.D and L.D assembly macros. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: Fix ISA I/II FP signal context offsets

2016-11-04T00:38:52Z

Fix a regression introduced with commit 2db9ca0a3551 ("MIPS: Use struct mips_abi offsets to save FP context") for MIPS I/I FP signal contexts, by converting save/restore code to the updated internal API. Start FGR offsets from 0 rather than SC_FPREGS from $a0 and use $a1 rather than the offset of SC_FPC_CSR from $a0 for the Floating Point Control/Status Register (FCSR). Document the new internal API and adjust assembly code formatting for consistency. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: Remove FIR from ISA I FP signal context

2016-11-04T00:38:50Z

Complement commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and remove the Floating Point Implementation Register (FIR) from the FP register set recorded in a signal context with MIPS I processors too, in line with the change applied to r4k_fpu.S. The `sc_fpc_eir' slot is unused according to our current ABI and the FIR register is read-only and always directly accessible from user software. [ralf@linux-mips.org: This is also required because the next commit depends on it.] Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: Fix ISA I FP sigcontext access violation handling

2016-11-04T00:38:41Z

Complement commit 0ae8dceaebe3 ("Merge with 2.3.10.") and use the local `fault' handler to recover from FP sigcontext access violation faults, like corresponding code does in r4k_fpu.S. The `bad_stack' handler is in syscall.c and is not suitable here as we want to propagate the error condition up through the caller rather than killing the thread outright. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: Fix FCSR Cause bit handling for correct SIGFPE issue

2016-11-04T00:28:41Z

Sanitize FCSR Cause bit handling, following a trail of past attempts: * commit 4249548454f7 ("MIPS: ptrace: Fix FP context restoration FCSR regression"), * commit 443c44032a54 ("MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after emulation"), * commit 64bedffe4968 ("MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after notify_die()"), * commit b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits"), * commit b54d2901517d ("Properly handle branch delay slots in connection with signals."). Specifically do not mask these bits out in ptrace(2) processing and send a SIGFPE signal instead whenever a matching pair of an FCSR Cause and Enable bit is seen as execution of an affected context is about to resume. Only then clear Cause bits, and even then do not clear any bits that are set but masked with the respective Enable bits. Adjust Cause bit clearing throughout code likewise, except within the FPU emulator proper where they are set according to IEEE 754 exceptions raised as the operation emulated executed. Do so so that any IEEE 754 exceptions subject to their default handling are recorded like with operations executed by FPU hardware. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Complement commit ac9ad83bc318 ("MIPS: prevent FP context set via ptrace being discarded") and also initialize the FP context whenever FCSR alone is written with a PTRACE_POKEUSR request addressing FPC_CSR, rather than along with the full FPU register set in the case of the PTRACE_SETFPREGS request.
