commit adcc81f148d733b7e8e641300c5590a2cdc13bf3 upstream.

Mapping the delay slot emulation page as both writeable &amp; executable
presents a security risk, in that if an exploit can write to &amp; jump into
the page then it can be used as an easy way to execute arbitrary code.

Prevent this by mapping the page read-only for userland, and using
access_process_vm() with the FOLL_FORCE flag to write to it from
mips_dsemul().

This will likely be less efficient due to copy_to_user_page() performing
cache maintenance on a whole page, rather than a single line as in the
previous use of flush_cache_sigtramp(). However this delay slot
emulation code ought not to be running in any performance critical paths
anyway so this isn't really a problem, and we can probably do better in
copy_to_user_page() anyway in future.

A major advantage of this approach is that the fix is small &amp; simple to
backport to stable kernels.

commit 409fcace9963c1e8d2cb0f7ac62e8b34d47ef979 upstream.

Fix final phase of &lt;CLASS|MADDF|MSUBF|MAX|MIN|MAXA|MINA&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt;
emulation. Provide proper generation of SIGFPE signal and updating
debugfs FP exception stats in cases of any exception flags set in
preceding phases of emulation.

CLASS.&lt;D|S&gt; instruction may generate "Unimplemented Operation" FP
exception. &lt;MADDF|MSUBF&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt; instructions may generate "Inexact",
"Unimplemented Operation", "Invalid Operation", "Overflow", and
"Underflow" FP exceptions. &lt;MAX|MIN|MAXA|MINA&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt; instructions
can generate "Unimplemented Operation" and "Invalid Operation" FP
exceptions.

The proper final processing of the cases when any FP exception
flag is set is achieved by replacing "break" statement with "goto
copcsr" statement. With such solution, this patch brings the final
phase of emulation of the above instructions consistent with the
one corresponding to the previously implemented emulation of other
related FPU instructions (ADD, SUB, etc.).

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The FPU emulator includes 2 calls to pr_err() which are triggered by
invalid instruction encodings for MIPSr6 cmp.cond.fmt instructions.
These cases are not kernel errors, merely invalid instructions which are
already handled by delivering a SIGILL which will provide notification
that something failed in cases where that makes sense.

In cases where that SIGILL is somewhat expected &amp; being handled, for
example when crashme happens to generate one of the affected bad
encodings, the message is printed with no useful context about what
triggered it &amp; spams the kernel log for no good reason.

Remove the pr_err() calls to make crashme run silently &amp; treat the bad
encodings the same way we do others, with a SIGILL &amp; no further kernel
log output.

<title>MIPS: math-emu: Add FP emu debugfs stats for individual instructions</title>

<id>454854ace22f5a9fdd369a4e428493159a02f029</id>
<content type='text'>
Add FP emulation debugfs statistics for individual instructions. The
debugfs files that contain counter values are placed in a separate
directory called "instructions". This means that the default path for
these new stat is "/sys/kernel/debug/mips/fpuemustats/instructions".

Each instruction counter is mapped to the debugfs file that has the
same name as instruction name. The lowercase is choosen as more
commonly used case for instruction names.

One example of usage:

mips_host::/sys/kernel/debug/mips/fpuemustats/instructions # grep "" *

The shortened output of this command is:

abs.d:34
abs.s:5711
add.d:10401
add.s:399307
bc1eqz:3199
...
...
...
sub.s:167211
trunc.l.d:375
trunc.l.s:8054
trunc.w.d:421
trunc.w.s:27032

The limitation of this patch is that it handles R6 FP emulation
instructions only. There are altogether 114 handled instructions.

<title>MIPS: math-emu: Add FP emu debugfs clear functionality</title>

<content type='text'>
Add capability for the user to clear all FP emu debugfs counters.

This is achieved by having a special debugfs file "fpuemustats_clear"
(under default location "/sys/kernel/debug/mips"). Each access to the
file results in setting all counters to zero (it is enough, let's say,
to issue a "cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/fpuemustats_clear").

This functionality already exists for R2 emulation statistics,
but was missing for FP emulation statistics. The implementation in
this patch is consistent with its R2 emulation counterpart.

Add FP emu debugfs counter for branches.

The new counter is displayed the same way as existing counter, and
its default path is /sys/kernel/debug/mips/fpuemustats/.

The limitation of this counter is that it counts only R6 branch

<content type='text'>
Fix content of CLASS.D output bits 32-63 to match hardware behavior.

Prior to this patch, bits 32-63 of CLASS.D output were not
initialized, causing different 32-63 bits content of CLASS.D, based on
circumstances. However, the hardware consistently returns all these
bits zeroed. The documentation is not clear whether these bits should
be zero or unpredictable. Since technically "all zero" case still can
be viewed as belonging to "unpredictable" class of results, it is
better to zero bits 32-63.

<title>MIPS: math-emu: RINT.&lt;D|S&gt;: Fix several problems by reimplementation</title>

<content type='text'>
Reimplement RINT.&lt;D|S&gt; kernel emulation so that all RINT.&lt;D|S&gt;
specifications are met.

For the sake of simplicity, let's analyze RINT.S only. Prior to
this patch, RINT.S emulation was essentially implemented as (in
pseudocode) &lt;output&gt; = ieee754sp_flong(ieee754sp_tlong(&lt;input&gt;)),
where ieee754sp_tlong() and ieee754sp_flong() are functions
providing conversion from double to integer, and from integer
to double, respectively. On surface, this implementation looks
correct, but actually fails in many cases. Following problems
were detected:

1. NaN and infinity cases will not be handled properly. The
   function ieee754sp_flong() never returns NaN nor infinity.
2. For RINT.S, for all inputs larger than LONG_MAX, and smaller
   than FLT_MAX, the result will be wrong, and the overflow
   exception will be erroneously set. A similar problem for
   negative inputs exists as well.
3. For some rounding modes, for some negative inputs close to zero,
   the return value will be zero, and should be -zero. This is
   because ieee754sp_flong() never returns -zero.

This patch removes the problems above by implementing dedicated
functions for RINT.&lt;D|S&gt; emulation.

The core of the new function functionality is adapted version of
the core of the function ieee754sp_tlong(). However, there are many
details that are implemented to match RINT.&lt;D|S&gt; specification. It
should be said that the functionality of ieee754sp_tlong() actually
closely corresponds to CVT.L.S instruction, and it is used while
emulating CVT.L.S. However, RINT.S and CVT.L.S instructions differ
in many aspects. This patch fulfills missing support for RINT.&lt;D|S&gt;.

Fix CMP.Sxxx.&lt;D|S&gt; SIGILL crashes by fixing main switch/case statement
in fpu_emul() function so that inadvertent fall-troughs are prevented.

Consider, let's say, CMP.SAF.S instruction when one of inputs is zero
and another input is a signaling NaN. The desired output is zero, and
the exception flag "invalid operation" set. For such case, the main
portion of the implementation is within "d_fmt" case of the main
"switch/case" statement in fpu_emul() function. The execution will
follow one of "if-else" branches that doesn't contain "goto cop1scr;"
statement, and will therefore reach the end of "d_fmt" case. It will
subsequently fall through to the next case, "l_fmt". After following
similar pattern, the execution will fall through to the succeeding
case, which is "default". The "default" case contains "return SIGILL;"
statement only. This means that the caller application will crash
with "illegal instruction" message.

It is obvious that above described fall-throughs are unnecessary and
harmful. This patch rectifies that behavior by providing "break;"
statements at the end of cases "d_fmt" and "l_fmt".

There are 22 instructions affected by this problem:

CMP.&lt;SAF|SEQ|SLE|SLT|SNE|SOR|SUEQ|SULE|SULT|SUN|SUNE&gt;.&lt;D|S&gt;.
