In the mipsr2_decoder() function, used to emulate pre-MIPSr6 instructions that were removed in MIPSr6, the init_fpu() function is called if a removed pre-MIPSr6 floating point instruction is the first floating point instruction used by the task. However, init_fpu() performs varous actions that rely upon not being migrated. For example in the most basic case it sets the coprocessor 0 Status.CU1 bit to enable the FPU & then loads FP register context into the FPU registers. If the task were to migrate during this time, it may end up attempting to load FP register context on a different CPU where it hasn't set the CU1 bit, leading to errors such as: do_cpu invoked from kernel context![#2]: CPU: 2 PID: 7338 Comm: fp-prctl Tainted: G D 4.7.0-00424-g49b0c82 #2 task: 838e4000 ti: 88d38000 task.ti: 88d38000 $ 0 : 00000000 00000001 ffffffff 88d3fef8 $ 4 : 838e4000 88d38004 00000000 00000001 $ 8 : 3400fc01 801f8020 808e9100 24000000 $12 : dbffffff 807b69d8 807b0000 00000000 $16 : 00000000 80786150 00400fc4 809c0398 $20 : 809c0338 0040273c 88d3ff28 808e9d30 $24 : 808e9d30 00400fb4 $28 : 88d38000 88d3fe88 00000000 8011a2ac Hi : 0040273c Lo : 88d3ff28 epc : 80114178 _restore_fp+0x10/0xa0 ra : 8011a2ac mipsr2_decoder+0xd5c/0x1660 Status: 1400fc03 KERNEL EXL IE Cause : 1080002c (ExcCode 0b) PrId : 0001a920 (MIPS I6400) Modules linked in: Process fp-prctl (pid: 7338, threadinfo=88d38000, task=838e4000, tls=766527d0) Stack : 00000000 00000000 00000000 88d3fe98 00000000 00000000 809c0398 809c0338 808e9100 00000000 88d3ff28 00400fc4 00400fc4 0040273c 7fb69e18 004a0000 004a0000 004a0000 7664add0 8010de18 00000000 00000000 88d3fef8 88d3ff28 808e9100 00000000 766527d0 8010e534 000c0000 85755000 8181d580 00000000 00000000 00000000 004a0000 00000000 766527d0 7fb69e18 004a0000 80105c20 ...

The page structures associated with the vDSO pages in the kernel image are calculated using virt_to_page(), which uses __pa() under the hood to find the pfn associated with the virtual address. The vDSO data pointers however point to kernel symbols, so __pa_symbol() should really be used instead. Since there is no equivalent to virt_to_page() which uses __pa_symbol(), fix init_vdso_image() to work directly with pfns, calculated with __phys_to_pfn(__pa_symbol(...)). This issue broke the Malta Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) configuration which has a non-default implementation of __pa_symbol(). This is because it uses a physical alias so that the kernel executes from KSeg0 (VA 0x80000000 -> PA 0x00000000), while RAM is provided to the kernel in the KUSeg range (VA 0x00000000 -> PA 0x80000000) which uses the same underlying RAM. Since there are no page structures associated with the low physical address region, some arbitrary kernel memory would be interpreted as a page structure for the vDSO pages and badness ensues.

Commit 1685ddbe ("MIPS: Octeon: Changes to support readq()/writeq() usage.") added bitwise shift operations that assume that unsigned long is always 64-bits. This broke the build of VDSO code, as it gets compiled also in "faked" 32-bit mode. Althought the failing inline functions are never executed in 32-bit mode, they still need to pass the compilation. Fix by using 64-bit types explicitly.

cpu_has_fpu macro uses smp_processor_id() and is currently executed with preemption enabled, that triggers the warning at runtime. It is assumed throughout the kernel that if any CPU has an FPU, then all CPUs would have an FPU as well, so it is safe to perform the check with preemption enabled - change the code to use raw_ variant of the check to avoid the warning.

Commit f70ddc07 ("MIPS: c-r4k: Avoid small flush_icache_range SMP calls") adds checks to force use of hit-type cache ops for small icache flushes where they are globalised & index-type cache ops aren't, in order to avoid the overhead of IPIs in those cases. However it calculated the size of the region being flushed incorrectly, subtracting the end address from the start address rather than the reverse. This would have led to an overflow with size wrapping round to some large value, and likely to the special case for avoiding IPIs not actually being hit.

Commit c1a0e9bc ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed") added Kconfig entries allowing for the compact branch policy used by the compiler for MIPSr6 kernels to be specified. This can be useful for debugging, particularly in systems where compact branches have recently been introduced. Unfortunately mainline gcc 5.x supports MIPSr6 but not the -mcompact-branches compiler flag, leading to MIPSr6 kernels failing to build with gcc 5.x with errors such as: mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcompact-branches=optimal' make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1 Fixing this by hiding the Kconfig entry behind another seems to be more hassle than it's worth, as MIPSr6 & compact branches have been around for a while now and if policy does need to be set for debug it can be done easily enough with KCFLAGS. Therefore remove the compact branch policy Kconfig entries & their handling in the Makefile. This reverts commit c1a0e9bc ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed").

The alignment of MIPS MAAR region addresses isn't quite right. - It rounds an already 64 KiB aligned start address up to the next 64 KiB boundary, e.g. 0x80000000 is rounded up to 0x80010000. - It assumes the end address is already on a 64 KiB boundary and doesn't round it down. Should that not be the case it will hit the second BUG_ON() in write_maar_pair(). Both cases are addressed by rounding up and down to 64 KiB boundaries in the more traditional way of adding 0xffff (for rounding up) and masking off the low 16 bits.

Memory regions added with add_memory_region() at the top of the physical address space will have their end address overflow to 0. This causes them to be rejected as invalid, and would cause various other issues later on. This causes issues on Malta and Boston platforms when wanting to use all 2GB of RAM on a 32-bit kernel, either via highmem (using physical addresses 0x90000000..0xFFFFFFFF), or with the Malta Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) layout which exposes the whole 0x80000000..0xFFFFFFFF physical address range to kernel mode at 0x00000000..0x7FFFFFFF. Due to the abundance of these non-overflow assumptions and the fact that memblock already avoids the arithmetic overflow by limiting the size of new memory regions without the arch code knowing it (in particular mem_init_free_highmem() will trigger a page dump due to nonzero mapcount on the last page), it is simpler and safer to just limit the size of the region in a similar way to memblock but at the arch level to allow most of the RAM to be used without arithmetic overflows. Therefore we detect this case specifically and reduce the size of the region slightly to avoid the arithmetic overflows and cause the last page to be ignored.

When a uprobe-replacement breakpoint instruction is handled, a notifier is called with DIE_UPROBE argument, but a corresponding exception notify handler for MIPS attempts to handle DIE_BREAK instead. As a result the breakpoint instruction isn't handled by the uprobe code and the probed application terminates with SIGTRAP. Fix this by changing arch_uprobe_exception_notify code to handle DIE_UPROBE as a pre-singlestep condition instead of DIE_BREAK.

Since setting an encryption policy requires writing metadata to the filesystem, it should be guarded by mnt_want_write/mnt_drop_write. Otherwise, a user could cause a write to a frozen or readonly filesystem. This was handled correctly by f2fs but not by ext4.

The FS_IOC_SET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY ioctl allowed setting an encryption policy on nondirectory files. This was unintentional, and in the case of nonempty regular files did not behave as expected because existing data was not actually encrypted by the ioctl. In the case of ext4, the user could also trigger filesystem errors in ->empty_dir(), e.g. due to mismatched "directory" checksums when the kernel incorrectly tried to interpret a regular file as a directory. This bug affected ext4 with kernels v4.8-rc1 or later and f2fs with kernels v4.6 and later. It appears that older kernels only permitted directories and that the check was accidentally lost during the refactoring to share the file encryption code between ext4 and f2fs. This patch restores the !S_ISDIR() check that was present in older kernels. Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

On an ext4 or f2fs filesystem with file encryption supported, a user could set an encryption policy on any empty directory(*) to which they had readonly access. This is obviously problematic, since such a directory might be owned by another user and the new encryption policy would prevent that other user from creating files in their own directory (for example). Fix this by requiring inode_owner_or_capable() permission to set an encryption policy. This means that either the caller must own the file, or the caller must have the capability CAP_FOWNER. (*) Or also on any regular file, for f2fs v4.6 and later and ext4 v4.8-rc1 and later; a separate bug fix is coming for that.

Bad blocks can be injected via /sys/block/pmemN/badblocks. In a situation where legacy pmem is being used or a pmem region created by using memmap kernel parameter, the injected bad blocks are not cleared due to nvdimm_clear_poison() failing from lack of ndctl function pointer. In this case we need to just return as handled and allow the bad blocks to be cleared rather than fail.

track_pfn_insert() in vmf_insert_pfn_pmd() is marking dax mappings as uncacheable rendering them impractical for application usage. DAX-pte mappings are cached and the goal of establishing DAX-pmd mappings is to attain more performance, not dramatically less (3 orders of magnitude). track_pfn_insert() relies on a previous call to reserve_memtype() to establish the expected page_cache_mode for the range. While memremap() arranges for reserve_memtype() to be called, devm_memremap_pages() does not. So, teach track_pfn_insert() and untrack_pfn() how to handle tracking without a vma, and arrange for devm_memremap_pages() to establish the write-back-cache reservation in the memtype tree.

Pull virtio fixes from Michael Tsirkin: "This includes a couple of bugfixs for virtio. The virtio console patch is actually also in x86/tip targeting 4.9 because it helps vmap stacks, but it also fixes IOMMU_PLATFORM which was added in 4.8, and it seems important not to ship that in a broken configuration" * tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: virtio_console: Stop doing DMA on the stack virtio: mark vring_dma_dev() static

Pull power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "This includes a PM QoS framework fix from Tejun to prevent interrupts from being enabled unexpectedly during early boot and a cpufreq documentation fix. Specifics: - If the PM QoS framework invokes cancel_delayed_work_sync() during early boot, it will enable interrupts which is not expected at that point, so prevent it from happening (Tejun Heo) - Fix cpufreq statistic documentation to follow a recent change in behavior that forgot to update it as appropriate (Jean Delvare)" * tag 'pm-4.8-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: cpufreq-stats: Minor documentation fix PM / QoS: avoid calling cancel_delayed_work_sync() during early boot

Pull GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij: "Some GPIO fixes that have been boiling the last two weeks or so. Nothing special, I'm trying to sort out some Kconfig business and Russell needs a fix in for -his SA1100 rework. Summary: - Revert a pointless attempt to add an include to solve the UM allyes compilation problem. - Make the mcp23s08 depend on OF_GPIO as it uses it and doesn't compile properly without it. - Fix a probing problem for ucb1x00" * tag 'gpio-v4.8-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: gpio: sa1100: fix irq probing for ucb1x00 gpio: mcp23s08: make driver depend on OF_GPIO Revert "gpio: include <linux/io-mapping.h> in gpiolib-of"

virtio_console uses a small DMA buffer for control requests. Move that buffer into heap memory. Doing virtio DMA on the stack is normally okay on non-DMA-API virtio systems (which is currently most of them), but it breaks completely if the stack is virtually mapped. Tested by typing both directions using picocom aimed at /dev/hvc0. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Michael S.
