commit c164154f66f0c9b02673f07aa4f044f1d9c70274 upstream.

This removes the 'write' and 'force' use from get_user_pages_unlocked()
and replaces them with 'gup_flags' to make the use of FOLL_FORCE
explicit in callers as use of this flag can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

<title>MIPS: Fix ioremap() RAM check</title>

commit 523402fa9101090c91d2033b7ebdfdcf65880488 upstream.

We currently attempt to check whether a physical address range provided
to __ioremap() may be in use by the page allocator by examining the
value of PageReserved for each page in the region - lowmem pages not
marked reserved are presumed to be in use by the page allocator, and
requests to ioremap them fail.

The way we check this has been broken since commit 92923ca3aace ("mm:
meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region"), because
memblock will typically not have any knowledge of non-RAM pages and
therefore those pages will not have the PageReserved flag set. Thus when
we attempt to ioremap a region outside of RAM we incorrectly fail
believing that the region is RAM that may be in use.

In most cases ioremap() on MIPS will take a fast-path to use the
unmapped kseg1 or xkphys virtual address spaces and never hit this path,
so the only way to hit it is for a MIPS32 system to attempt to ioremap()
an address range in lowmem with flags other than _CACHE_UNCACHED.
Perhaps the most straightforward way to do this is using
ioremap_uncached_accelerated(), which is how the problem was discovered.

Fix this by making use of walk_system_ram_range() to test the address
range provided to __ioremap() against only RAM pages, rather than all
lowmem pages. This means that if we have a lowmem I/O region, which is
very common for MIPS systems, we're free to ioremap() address ranges
within it. A nice bonus is that the test is no longer limited to lowmem.

The approach here matches the way x86 performed the same test after
commit c81c8a1eeede ("x86, ioremap: Speed up check for RAM pages") until
x86 moved towards a slightly more complicated check using walk_mem_res()
for unrelated reasons with commit 0e4c12b45aa8 ("x86/mm, resource: Use
PAGE_KERNEL protection for ioremap of memory pages").

fixrange_init operates at PMD-granularity and expects the addresses to
be PMD-size aligned, but currently that might not be the case for
PKMAP_BASE unless it is defined properly, so ensure a correct alignment
is used before passing the address to fixrange_init.

fixed mappings: only align the start address that is passed to
fixrange_init rather than the value before adding the size, as we may
end up with uninitialised upper part of the range.

<title>mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas</title>

commit 1be7107fbe18eed3e319a6c3e83c78254b693acb upstream.

Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.

This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
unfortunatelly.

Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.

One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).

Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
and strict non-overcommit mode.

Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
(or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

commit 0115f6cbf26663c86496bc56eeea293f85b77897 upstream.

On VTLB+FTLB platforms (such as Loongson-3A R2), FTLB's pagesize is
usually configured the same as PAGE_SIZE. In such a case, Huge page
entry is not suitable to write in FTLB.

Unfortunately, when a huge page is created, its page table entries
haven't created immediately. Then the TLB refill handler will fetch an
invalid page table entry which has no "HUGE" bit, and this entry may be
written to FTLB. Since it is invalid, TLB load/store handler will then
use tlbwi to write the valid entry at the same place. However, the
valid entry is a huge page entry which isn't suitable for FTLB.

Our solution is to modify build_huge_handler_tail. Flush the invalid
old entry (whether it is in FTLB or VTLB, this is in order to reduce
branches) and use tlbwr to write the valid new entry.

commit 0115f6cbf26663c86496bc56eeea293f85b77897 upstream.

On VTLB+FTLB platforms (such as Loongson-3A R2), FTLB's pagesize is
usually configured the same as PAGE_SIZE. In such a case, Huge page
entry is not suitable to write in FTLB.

Unfortunately, when a huge page is created, its page table entries
haven't created immediately. Then the TLB refill handler will fetch an
invalid page table entry which has no "HUGE" bit, and this entry may be
written to FTLB. Since it is invalid, TLB load/store handler will then
use tlbwi to write the valid entry at the same place. However, the
valid entry is a huge page entry which isn't suitable for FTLB.

Our solution is to modify build_huge_handler_tail. Flush the invalid
old entry (whether it is in FTLB or VTLB, this is in order to reduce
branches) and use tlbwr to write the valid new entry.

commit ae2f5e5ed04a17c1aa1f0a3714c725e12c21d2a9 upstream.

Fix the following build error with binutils 2.25.

  CC      arch/mips/mm/sc-ip22.o
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:132: Error: number (0x9000000080000000) larger than 32 bits
{standard input}:159: Error: number (0x9000000080000000) larger than 32 bits
{standard input}:200: Error: number (0x9000000080000000) larger than 32 bits
scripts/Makefile.build:293: recipe for target 'arch/mips/mm/sc-ip22.o' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/mips/mm/sc-ip22.o] Error 1

MIPS has used .set mips3 to temporarily switch the assembler to 64 bit
mode in 64 bit kernels virtually forever.  Binutils 2.25 broke this
behavious partially by happily accepting 64 bit instructions in .set mips3
mode but puking on 64 bit constants when generating 32 bit ELF.  Binutils
2.26 restored the old behaviour again.

Fix build with binutils 2.25 by open coding the offending

	dli $1, 0x9000000080000000

as

	li	$1, 0x9000
	dsll	$1, $1, 48

which is ugly be the only thing that will build on all binutils vintages.

commit 4f53989b0652ffe2605221c81ca8ffcfc90aed2a upstream.

Commit a168b8f1cde6 ("MIPS: mm: Add MIPS R6 instruction encodings") added
an incorrect definition of the redefined MIPSr6 cache instruction.

Executing any kernel code including this instuction results in a
reserved instruction exception and kernel panic.

Fix the instruction definition.
