commit 27e28e8ec47a5ce335ebf25d34ca356c80635908 upstream.

Changes applied to `do_cpu' over time reduced the use of the SIGILL
issued with `force_sig' at the end to a single CU3 case only in the
switch statement there.  Move that `force_sig' call over to right where
required then and toss out the pile of gotos now not needed to skip over
the call, replacing them with regular breaks out of the switch.

<title>MIPS: Fix FCSR Cause bit handling for correct SIGFPE issue</title>

commit 5a1aca4469fdccd5b74ba0b4e490173b2b447895 upstream.

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.

<title>MIPS: Set `si_code' for SIGFPE signals sent from emulation too</title>

commit 304acb717e5b67cf56f05bc5b21123758e1f7ea0 upstream.

Rework `process_fpemu_return' and move IEEE 754 exception interpretation
there, from `do_fpe'.  Record the cause bits set in FCSR before they are
cleared and pass them through to `process_fpemu_return' so as to set
`si_code' correctly too for SIGFPE signals sent from emulation rather
than those issued by hardware with the FPE processor exception only.

For simplicity `mipsr2_decoder' assumes `*fcr31' has been preinitialised
and only sets it to anything if an FPU instruction has been emulated,
which in turn is the only case SIGFPE can be issued for here.

commit 443c44032a54f9acf027a8e688380fddc809bc19 upstream.

Clear any FCSR cause bits recorded in the saved FPU context after
emulation in all cases rather than in `do_fpe' only, so that any
unmasked IEEE 754 exception left from emulation does not cause a fatal
kernel-mode FPE hardware exception with the CTC1 instruction used by the
kernel to subsequently restore FCSR hardware from the saved FPU context.

commit ed2d72c1eb3643b7c109bdf387563d9b9a30c279 upstream.

Respect the FCSR exception mask when interpreting the IEEE 754 exception
condition to report with SIGFPE in `si_code', so as not to use one that
has been masked where a different one set in parallel caused the FPE
hardware exception to trigger.  As per the IEEE Std 754 the Inexact
exception can happen together with Overflow or Underflow.

<title>MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after notify_die()</title>

commit 64bedffe496820dbb6b53302d80dd0f04db33d8e upstream.

When handling floating point exceptions (FPEs) and MSA FPEs the Cause
bits of the appropriate control and status register (FCSR for FPEs and
MSACSR for MSA FPEs) are read and cleared before enabling interrupts,
presumably so that it doesn't have to go through the pain of restoring
those bits if the process is pre-empted, since writing those bits would
cause another immediate exception while still in the kernel.

The bits aren't normally ever restored again, since userland never
expects to see them set.

However for virtualisation it is necessary for the kernel to be able to
restore these Cause bits, as the guest may have been interrupted in an
FP exception handler but before it could read the Cause bits. This can
be done by registering a die notifier, to get notified of the exception
when such a value is restored, and if the PC was at the instruction
which is used to restore the guest state, the handler can step over it
and continue execution. The Cause bits can then remain set without
causing further exceptions.

For this to work safely a few changes are made:
- __build_clear_fpe and __build_clear_msa_fpe no longer clear the Cause
  bits, and now return from exception level with interrupts disabled
  instead of enabled.
- do_fpe() now clears the Cause bits and enables interrupts after
  notify_die() is called, so that the notifier can chose to return from
  exception without this happening.
- do_msa_fpe() acts similarly, but now actually makes use of the second
  argument (msacsr) and calls notify_die() with the new DIE_MSAFP,
  allowing die notifiers to be informed of MSA FPEs too.

commit 854236363370995a609a10b03e35fd3dc5e9e4a1 upstream.

Since commit 81a76d7119f6 ("MIPS: Avoid using unwind_stack() with
usermode") show_backtrace() invokes the raw backtracer when
cp0_status &amp; ST0_KSU indicates user mode to fix issues on EVA kernels
where user and kernel address spaces overlap.

However this is used by show_stack() which creates its own pt_regs on
the stack and leaves cp0_status uninitialised in most of the code paths.
This results in the non deterministic use of the raw back tracer
depending on the previous stack content.

show_stack() deals exclusively with kernel mode stacks anyway, so
explicitly initialise regs.cp0_status to KSU_KERNEL (i.e. 0) to ensure
we get a useful backtrace.

commit d76e9b9fc5de7e8fc4fd0e72a94e8c723929ffea upstream.

Commit 842dfc11ea9a ("MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+") in v3.18
enabled -msoft-float and sprinkled ".set hardfloat" where necessary to
use FP instructions. However it missed enable_restore_fp_context() which
since v3.17 does a ctc1 with inline assembly, causing the following
assembler errors on Mentor's 2014.05 toolchain:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2913: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips32r2 (mips32r2) `ctc1 $2,$31'
scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'arch/mips/kernel/traps.o' failed

Fix that to use the new write_32bit_cp1_register() macro so that ".set
hardfloat" is automatically added when -msoft-float is in use.

Fixes 842dfc11ea9a ("MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+")

commit d76e9b9fc5de7e8fc4fd0e72a94e8c723929ffea upstream.

Commit 842dfc11ea9a ("MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+") in v3.18
enabled -msoft-float and sprinkled ".set hardfloat" where necessary to
use FP instructions. However it missed enable_restore_fp_context() which
since v3.17 does a ctc1 with inline assembly, causing the following
assembler errors on Mentor's 2014.05 toolchain:

<title>MIPS: init upper 64b of vector registers when MSA is first used</title>

commit c9017757c532d48bf43d6e7d3b7282443ad4207b upstream.

When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper
64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no
information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA
context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these
bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the
aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the
kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the
specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is
unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the
bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant
64b.

<title>MIPS: preserve scalar FP CSR when switching vector context</title>

commit b83406735a4ae0aff4b614664d6a64a0fd6b9917 upstream.

Switching the vector context implicitly saves &amp; restores the state of
the aliased scalar FP data registers, however the scalar FP control
&amp; status register is distinct from the MSA control &amp; status register.
In order to allow scalar FP to function correctly in programs using
MSA, the scalar CSR needs to be saved &amp; restored along with the MSA
vector context.
