[ Upstream commit 5a1aca4469fdccd5b74ba0b4e490173b2b447895 ]

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.

commit f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b upstream.

Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.

commit c7e814628df65f424fe197dde73bfc67e4a244d7 upstream.

Use 64-bit accesses for 64-bit floating-point general registers with
PTRACE_PEEKUSR, removing the truncation of their upper halves in the
FR=1 mode, caused by commit bbd426f542cb ("MIPS: Simplify FP context
access"), which inadvertently switched them to using 32-bit accesses.

The PTRACE_POKEUSR side is fine as it's never been broken and continues
using 64-bit accesses.

commit 9a3a92ccfe3620743d4ae57c987dc8e9c5f88996 upstream.

Check the TIF_32BIT_FPREGS task setting of the tracee rather than the
tracer in determining the layout of floating-point general registers in
the floating-point context, correcting access to odd-numbered registers
for o32 tracees where the setting disagrees between the two processes.

commit 71e909c0cdad28a1df1fa14442929e68615dee45 upstream.

Correct commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view.")
and expose the FIR register using the unused 4 bytes at the end of the
NT_PRFPREG regset.  Without that register included clients cannot use
the PTRACE_GETREGSET request to retrieve the complete FPU register set
and have to resort to one of the older interfaces, either PTRACE_PEEKUSR
or PTRACE_GETFPREGS, to retrieve the missing piece of data.  Also the
register is irreversibly missing from core dumps.

This register is architecturally hardwired and read-only so the write
path does not matter.  Ignore data supplied on writes then.

commit be07a6a1188372b6d19a3307ec33211fc9c9439d upstream.

Fix a commit 72b22bbad1e7 ("MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for
FP regset") public API regression, then activated by commit 1db1af84d6df
("MIPS: Basic MSA context switching support"), that caused the FCSR
register not to be read or written for CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA kernel
configurations (regardless of actual presence or absence of the MSA
feature in a given processor) with ptrace(2) PTRACE_GETREGSET and
PTRACE_SETREGSET requests nor recorded in core dumps.

This is because with !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations the whole of
`elf_fpregset_t' array is bulk-copied as it is, which includes the FCSR
in one half of the last, 33rd slot, whereas with CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA
configurations array elements are copied individually, and then only the
leading 32 FGR slots while the remaining slot is ignored.

Correct the code then such that only FGR slots are copied in the
respective !MSA and MSA helpers an then the FCSR slot is handled
separately in common code.  Use `ptrace_setfcr31' to update the FCSR
too, so that the read-only mask is respected.

Retrieving a correct value of FCSR is important in debugging not only
for the human to be able to get the right interpretation of the
situation, but for correct operation of GDB as well.  This is because
the condition code bits in FSCR are used by GDB to determine the
location to place a breakpoint at when single-stepping through an FPU
branch instruction.  If such a breakpoint is placed incorrectly (i.e.
with the condition reversed), then it will be missed, likely causing the
debuggee to run away from the control of GDB and consequently breaking
the process of investigation.

Fortunately GDB continues using the older PTRACE_GETFPREGS ptrace(2)
request which is unaffected, so the regression only really hits with
post-mortem debug sessions using a core dump file, in which case
execution, and consequently single-stepping through branches is not
possible.  Of course core files created by buggy kernels out there will
have the value of FCSR recorded clobbered, but such core files cannot be
corrected and the person using them simply will have to be aware that
the value of FCSR retrieved is not reliable.

Which also means we can likely get away without defining a replacement
API which would ensure a correct value of FSCR to be retrieved, or none
at all.

This is based on previous work by Alex Smith, extensively rewritten.

commit be07a6a1188372b6d19a3307ec33211fc9c9439d upstream.

Fix a commit 72b22bbad1e7 ("MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for
FP regset") public API regression, then activated by commit 1db1af84d6df
("MIPS: Basic MSA context switching support"), that caused the FCSR
register not to be read or written for CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA kernel
configurations (regardless of actual presence or absence of the MSA
feature in a given processor) with ptrace(2) PTRACE_GETREGSET and
PTRACE_SETREGSET requests nor recorded in core dumps.

This is because with !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations the whole of
`elf_fpregset_t' array is bulk-copied as it is, which includes the FCSR
in one half of the last, 33rd slot, whereas with CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA

<title>MIPS: Consistently handle buffer counter with PTRACE_SETREGSET</title>

commit 80b3ffce0196ea50068885d085ff981e4b8396f4 upstream.

Update commit d614fd58a283 ("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers
for short regset write") bug and consistently consume all data supplied
to `fpr_set_msa' with the ptrace(2) PTRACE_SETREGSET request, such that
a zero data buffer counter is returned where insufficient data has been
given to fill a whole number of FP general registers.

In reality this is not going to happen, as the caller is supposed to
only supply data covering a whole number of registers and it is verified
in `ptrace_regset' and again asserted in `fpr_set', however structuring
code such that the presence of trailing partial FP general register data
causes `fpr_set_msa' to return with a non-zero data buffer counter makes
it appear that this trailing data will be used if there are subsequent
writes made to FP registers, which is going to be the case with the FCSR
once the missing write to that register has been fixed.

<title>MIPS: Guard against any partial write attempt with PTRACE_SETREGSET</title>

commit dc24d0edf33c3e15099688b6bbdf7bdc24bf6e91 upstream.

Complement commit d614fd58a283 ("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous
registers for short regset write") and ensure that no partial register
write attempt is made with PTRACE_SETREGSET, as we do not preinitialize
any temporaries used to hold incoming register data and consequently
random data could be written.

It is the responsibility of the caller, such as `ptrace_regset', to
arrange for writes to span whole registers only, so here we only assert
that it has indeed happened.
