commit 210a1ce8ed4391b64a888b3fb4b5611a13f5ccc7 upstream.

Move the cursor position rightward after rendering the character,
not before. This avoids complications that arise when the recursive
console_putc call has to wrap the line and/or scroll the display.
This also fixes the linewrap bug that crops off the rightmost column.

When the cursor is at the bottom of the display, a linefeed will not
move the cursor position further downward. Instead, the display scrolls
upward. Avoid the repeated add/subtract sequence by way of a single
subtraction at the initialization of console_struct_num_rows.

<title>m68k: Don't unregister boot console needlessly</title>

[ Upstream commit 83f672a7f69ec38b1bbb27221e342937f68c11c7 ]

When MACH_IS_MVME147, the boot console calls mvme147_scc_write() to
generate console output. That will continue to work even after
debug_cons_nputs() becomes unavailable so there's no need to
unregister the boot console.

Take the opportunity to remove a repeated MACH_IS_* test. Use the
actual .write method (instead of a wrapper) and test that pointer
instead. This means adding an unused parameter to debug_cons_nputs() for
consistency with the struct console API.

early_printk.c is only built when CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y. As of late,
head.S is only built when CONFIG_MMU_MOTOROLA=y. So let the former symbol
depend on the latter, to obviate some ifdef conditionals.

<title>signal/m68k: Use force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) in fpsp040_die</title>

commit a3616a3c02722d1edb95acc7fceade242f6553ba upstream.

In the fpsp040 code when copyin or copyout fails call
force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of do_exit(SIGSEGV).

This solves a couple of problems.  Because do_exit embeds the ptrace
stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT a complete stack frame needs to be present for
that to work correctly.  There is always the information needed for a
ptrace stop where get_signal is called.  So exiting with a signal
solves the ptrace issue.

Further exiting with a signal ensures that all of the threads in a
process are killed not just the thread that malfunctioned.  Which
avoids confusing userspace.

To make force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) work in fpsp040_die modify the code to
save all of the registers and jump to ret_from_exception (which
ultimately calls get_signal) after fpsp040_die returns.

v2: Updated the branches to use gas's pseudo ops that automatically
    calculate the best branch instruction to use for the purpose.

commit 50e43a57334400668952f8e551c9d87d3ed2dfef upstream.

We get there when sigreturn has performed obscene acts on kernel stack;
in particular, the location of pt_regs has shifted.  We are about to call
syscall_trace(), which might stop for tracer.  If that happens, we'd better
have task_pt_regs() returning correct result...

Commit a38eaa07a0ce ("m68k/mvme147: config.c - Remove unused
functions"), removed the console functionality for the mvme147 instead
of wiring it up to an early console.  Put the console write function
back and wire it up like mvme16x does so it's possible to see Linux boot
on this fine hardware once more.

[ Upstream commit 09b3d870faa7bc3e96c0978ab3cf4e96e4b15571 ]

Stan Johnson recently reported a failure from the 'dump' command:

  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Aug  9 23:37:15 2024
  DUMP: Dumping /dev/sda (an unlisted file system) to /dev/null
  DUMP: Label: none
  DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 3595695 blocks.
  DUMP: Context save fork fails in parent 671

The dump program uses the clone syscall with the CLONE_IO flag, that is,
flags == 0x80000000. When that value is promoted from long int to u64 by
m68k_clone(), it undergoes sign-extension. The new value includes
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP so the validation in cgroup_css_set_fork() fails and
the syscall returns -EBADF. Avoid sign-extension by casting to u32.

  DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records
  DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
  DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
  DUMP: estimated 3595695 blocks.
  DUMP: Context save fork fails in parent 671

The dump program uses the clone syscall with the CLONE_IO flag, that is,
flags == 0x80000000. When that value is promoted from long int to u64 by
m68k_clone(), it undergoes sign-extension. The new value includes
CLONE_INTO_CGROUP so the validation in cgroup_css_set_fork() fails and
the syscall returns -EBADF. Avoid sign-extension by casting to u32.

<title>m68k: Fix spinlock race in kernel thread creation</title>

[ Upstream commit da89ce46f02470ef08f0f580755d14d547da59ed ]

Context switching does take care to retain the correct lock owner across
the switch from 'prev' to 'next' tasks.  This does rely on interrupts
remaining disabled for the entire duration of the switch.

This condition is guaranteed for normal process creation and context
switching between already running processes, because both 'prev' and
'next' already have interrupts disabled in their saved copies of the
status register.

The situation is different for newly created kernel threads.  The status
register is set to PS_S in copy_thread(), which does leave the IPL at 0.
Upon restoring the 'next' thread's status register in switch_to() aka
resume(), interrupts then become enabled prematurely.  resume() then
returns via ret_from_kernel_thread() and schedule_tail() where run queue
lock is released (see finish_task_switch() and finish_lock_switch()).

A timer interrupt calling scheduler_tick() before the lock is released
in finish_task_switch() will find the lock already taken, with the
current task as lock owner.  This causes a spinlock recursion warning as
reported by Guenter Roeck.

As far as I can ascertain, this race has been opened in commit
533e6903bea0 ("m68k: split ret_from_fork(), simplify kernel_thread()")
but I haven't done a detailed study of kernel history so it may well
predate that commit.

Interrupts cannot be disabled in the saved status register copy for
kernel threads (init will complain about interrupts disabled when
finally starting user space).  Disable interrupts temporarily when
switching the tasks' register sets in resume().

Note that a simple oriw 0x700,%sr after restoring sr is not enough here
- this leaves enough of a race for the 'spinlock recursion' warning to
still be observed.

Tested on ARAnyM and qemu (Quadra 800 emulation).

<title>m68k: Fix invalid .section syntax</title>

[ Upstream commit 922a9bd138101e3e5718f0f4d40dba68ef89bb43 ]

gas supports several different forms for .section for ELF targets,
including:
    .section NAME [, "FLAGS"[, @TYPE[,FLAG_SPECIFIC_ARGUMENTS]]]
and:
    .section "NAME"[, #FLAGS...]

In several places we use a mix of these two forms:
    .section NAME, #FLAGS...

A current development snapshot of binutils (2.40.50.20230611) treats
this mixed syntax as an error.

Change to consistently use:
    .section NAME, "FLAGS"
as is used elsewhere in the kernel.
