Commit 34c2f668 ("MIPS: microMIPS: Add unaligned access support.") added handling of microMIPS instructions to manipulate the stack pointer. The code that was added violates code style rules with long lines caused by lots of nested conditionals. The added code interprets (inline) any known stack pointer manipulation instruction to find the stack frame size. Handling the microMIPS cases added quite a bit of complication to this function. Refactor is_sp_move_ins to perform the interpretation of the immediate as the instruction manipulating the stack pointer is found. This reduces the amount of indentation required in get_frame_info, and more closely matches the operation of is_ra_save_ins. Suggested-by: NMaciej W.

The stack unwinding code uses the mips_instuction union to decode the instructions it finds. That union uses the __BITFIELD_FIELD macro to reorder depending on endianness. The stack unwinding code always places 16bit instructions in halfword 1 of the union. This makes the union accesses correct for little endian systems. Similarly, 32bit instructions are reordered such that they are correct for little endian systems. This handling leaves unwinding the stack on big endian systems broken, as the mips_instruction union will then look for the fields in the wrong halfword. To fix this, use a logical shift to place the 16bit instruction into the correct position in the word field of the union. Use the same shifting to order the 2 halfwords of 32bit instuctions. Then replace accesses to the halfword with accesses to the shifted word. In the case of the ADDIUS5 instruction, switch to using the mm16_r5_format union member to avoid the need for a 16bit shift.

When the immediate encoded in the instruction is accessed, it is sign extended due to being a signed value being assigned to a signed integer. The ISA specifies that this operation is an unsigned operation. The sign extension leads us to incorrectly decode: 801e9c8e: cbf1 sw ra,68(sp) As having an immediate of 1073741809. Since the instruction format does not specify signed/unsigned, and this is currently the only location to use this instuction format, change it to an unsigned immediate.

Commit 34c2f668 ("MIPS: microMIPS: Add unaligned access support.") added handling of microMIPS instructions to manipulate the stack pointer. Unfortunately the decoding of the addiusp instruction was incorrect, and performed a left shift by 2 bits to the raw immediate, rather than decoding the immediate and then performing the shift, as documented in the ISA. This led to incomplete stack traces, due to incorrect frame sizes being calculated. For example the instruction: 801faee0 <do_sys_poll>: 801faee0: 4e25 addiu sp,sp,-952 As decoded by objdump, would be interpreted by the existing code as having manipulated the stack pointer by +1096. Fix this by changing the order of decoding the immediate and applying the left shift. Also change to accessing the instuction through the union to avoid the endianness problem of accesing halfword[0], which will fail on big endian systems. Cope with the special behaviour of immediates 0x0, 0x1, 0x1fe and 0x1ff by XORing with 0x100 again if mod(immediate) < 4. This logic was tested with the following test code: int main(int argc, char **argv) { unsigned int enc; int imm; for (enc = 0; enc < 512; ++enc) { int tmp = enc << 2; imm = -(signed short)(tmp | ((tmp & 0x100) ? 0xfe00 : 0)); unsigned short tmp = enc; tmp = (tmp ^ 0x100) - 0x100; if ((unsigned short)(tmp + 2) < 4) tmp ^= 0x100; imm = -(signed short)(tmp << 2); printf("%#x\t%d\t->\t(%#x\t%d)\t%#x\t%d\n", enc, enc, (short)tmp, (short)tmp, imm, imm); } return EXIT_SUCCESS; } Which generates the table: input encoding -> tmp (matching manual) frame size ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 0 -> (0x100 256) 0xfffffc00 -1024 0x1 1 -> (0x101 257) 0xfffffbfc -1028 0x2 2 -> (0x2 2) 0xfffffff8 -8 0x3 3 -> (0x3 3) 0xfffffff4 -12 ... 0xfe 254 -> (0xfe 254) 0xfffffc08 -1016 0xff 255 -> (0xff 255) 0xfffffc04 -1020 0x100 256 -> (0xffffff00 -256) 0x400 1024 0x101 257 -> (0xffffff01 -255) 0x3fc 1020 ... 0x1fc 508 -> (0xfffffffc -4) 0x10 16 0x1fd 509 -> (0xfffffffd -3) 0xc 12 0x1fe 510 -> (0xfffffefe -258) 0x408 1032 0x1ff 511 -> (0xfffffeff -257) 0x404 1028 Thanks to James Hogan for the test code & verifying the logic.

The addiusp instruction uses the pool16d opcode, with bit 0 of the immediate set. The test for the addiusp opcode erroneously did a logical and of the immediate with mm_addiusp_func, which has value 1, so this test always passes when the immediate is non-zero.

Commit 34c2f668 ("MIPS: microMIPS: Add unaligned access support.") added fairly broken support for handling 16bit microMIPS instructions in get_frame_info(). It adjusts the instruction pointer by 16bits in the case of a 16bit sp move instruction, but not any other 16bit instruction. Commit b6c7a324 ("MIPS: Fix get_frame_info() handling of microMIPS function size") goes some way to fixing get_frame_info() to iterate over microMIPS instuctions, but the instruction pointer is still manipulated using a postincrement, and is of union mips_instruction type. Since the union is sized to the largest member (a word), but microMIPS instructions are a mix of halfword and word sizes, the function does not always iterate correctly, ending up misaligned with the instruction stream and interpreting it incorrectly. Since the instruction modifying the stack pointer is usually the first in the function, that one is usually handled correctly. But the instruction which saves the return address to the sp is some variable number of instructions into the frame and is frequently missed due to not being on a word boundary, leading to incomplete walking of the stack. Fix this by incrementing the instruction pointer based on the size of the previously decoded instruction (& remove the hack introduced by commit 34c2f668 ("MIPS: microMIPS: Add unaligned access support.") which adjusts the instruction pointer in the case of a 16bit sp move instruction, but not any other).

I saw two problems when doing backtraces: The compiler was putting a "fast return" at the top of some functions, before it set up the frame. The backtrace code would stop when it saw a jump instruction, so it would never get to the stack frame setup and would thus misinterpret it. To fix this, don't look for jump instructions until the frame setup has been seen. The assembly code here is: ffffffff80b885a0 <serial8250_handle_irq>: ffffffff80b885a0: c8a00003 bbit0 a1,0x0,ffffffff80b885b0 <serial8250_handle_irq+0x10> ffffffff80b885a4: 0000102d move v0,zero ffffffff80b885a8: 03e00008 jr ra ffffffff80b885ac: 00000000 nop ffffffff80b885b0: 67bdffd0 daddiu sp,sp,-48 ffffffff80b885b4: ffb00008 sd s0,8(sp) The second problem was the compiler was putting the last instruction of the frame save in the delay slot of the jump instruction. If it saved the RA in there, the backtrace could would miss it and misinterpret the frame. To fix this, make sure to process the instruction after the first jump seen. The assembly code for this is: ffffffff80806fd0 <plat_irq_dispatch>: ffffffff80806fd0: 67bdffd0 daddiu sp,sp,-48 ffffffff80806fd4: ffb30020 sd s3,32(sp) ffffffff80806fd8: 24130018 li s3,24 ffffffff80806fdc: ffb20018 sd s2,24(sp) ffffffff80806fe0: 3c12811c lui s2,0x811c ffffffff80806fe4: ffb10010 sd s1,16(sp) ffffffff80806fe8: 3c11811c lui s1,0x811c ffffffff80806fec: ffb00008 sd s0,8(sp) ffffffff80806ff0: 3c10811c lui s0,0x811c ffffffff80806ff4: 08201c03 j ffffffff8080700c <plat_irq_dispa tch+0x3c> ffffffff80806ff8: ffbf0028 sd ra,40(sp) Signed-off-by: NCorey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/16992/Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

This fixes a regression in commit 4d6501dc where I didn't notice that MIPS and OpenRISC were reinitialising p->{set,clear}_child_tid to NULL after our initialisation in copy_process(). We can simply get rid of the arch-specific initialisation here since it is now always done in copy_process() before hitting copy_thread{,_tls}(). Review notes: - As far as I can tell, copy_process() is the only user of copy_thread_tls(), which is the only caller of copy_thread() for architectures that don't implement copy_thread_tls(). - After this patch, there is no arch-specific code touching p->set_child_tid or p->clear_child_tid whatsoever. - It may look like MIPS/OpenRISC wanted to always have these fields be NULL, but that's not true, as copy_process() would unconditionally set them again _after_ calling copy_thread_tls() before commit 4d6501dc.

When the separate IRQ stack was introduced, stack unwinding only proceeded as far as the top of the IRQ stack, leading to kernel backtraces being less useful, lacking the trace of what was interrupted. Fix this by providing a means for the kernel to unwind the IRQ stack onto the interrupted task stack. The processor state is saved to the kernel task stack on interrupt. The IRQ_STACK_START macro reserves an unsigned long at the top of the IRQ stack where the interrupted task stack pointer can be saved. After the active stack is switched to the IRQ stack, save the interrupted tasks stack pointer to the reserved location. Fix the stack unwinding code to look for the frame being the top of the IRQ stack and if so get the next frame from the saved location. The existing test does not work with the separate stack since the ra is no longer pointed at ret_from_{irq,exception}. The test to stop unwinding the stack 32 bytes from the top of a stack must be modified to allow unwinding to continue up to the location of the saved task stack pointer when on the IRQ stack. The low / high marks of the stack are set depending on whether the sp is on an irq stack or not.

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction, treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works for MIPS32 & MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS. Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the ra/$31 register. With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce: Call Trace: [<80109e1f>] show_stack+0x63/0x7c [<8011ea17>] __warn+0x9b/0xac [<8011ea45>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x1d/0x20 [<8013fe53>] register_console+0x43/0x314 [<8067c58d>] of_setup_earlycon+0x1dd/0x1ec [<8067f63f>] early_init_dt_scan_chosen_stdout+0xe7/0xf8 [<8066c115>] do_early_param+0x75/0xac [<801302f9>] parse_args+0x1dd/0x308 [<8066c459>] parse_early_options+0x25/0x28 [<8066c48b>] parse_early_param+0x2f/0x38 [<8066e8cf>] setup_arch+0x113/0x488 [<8066c4f3>] start_kernel+0x57/0x328 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Whereas previously we only produced: Call Trace: [<80109e1f>] show_stack+0x63/0x7c ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- Signed-off-by: NPaul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Fixes: 34c2f668 ("MIPS: microMIPS: Add unaligned access support.")

get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128 instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length.

During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned address & we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely. The is_jump_ins() & is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception. Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do not need to deal with misalignment themselves.

get_frame_info() can be called in microMIPS kernels with the ISA bit already clear. For example this happens when unwind_stack_by_address() is called because we begin with a PC that has the ISA bit set & subtract the (odd) offset from the preceding symbol (which does not have the ISA bit set). Since get_frame_info() unconditionally subtracts 1 from the PC in microMIPS kernels it incorrectly misaligns the address it then attempts to access code at, leading to an address error exception.

Patch series "improvements to the nmi_backtrace code" v9. This patch series modifies the trigger_xxx_backtrace() NMI-based remote backtracing code to make it more flexible, and makes a few small improvements along the way. The motivation comes from the task isolation code, where there are scenarios where we want to be able to diagnose a case where some cpu is about to interrupt a task-isolated cpu. It can be helpful to see both where the interrupting cpu is, and also an approximation of where the cpu that is being interrupted is. The nmi_backtrace framework allows us to discover the stack of the interrupted cpu. I've tested that the change works as desired on tile, and build-tested x86, arm, mips, and sparc64. For x86 I confirmed that the generic cpuidle stuff as well as the architecture-specific routines are in the new cpuidle section. For arm, mips, and sparc I just build-tested it and made sure the generic cpuidle routines were in the new cpuidle section, but I didn't attempt to figure out which the platform-specific idle routines might be. That might be more usefully done by someone with platform experience in follow-up patches. This patch (of 4): Currently you can only request a backtrace of either all cpus, or all cpus but yourself. It can also be helpful to request a remote backtrace of a single cpu, and since we want that, the logical extension is to support a cpumask as the underlying primitive. This change modifies the existing lib/nmi_backtrace.c code to take a cpumask as its basic primitive, and modifies the linux/nmi.h code to use the new "cpumask" method instead. The existing clients of nmi_backtrace (arm and x86) are converted to using the new cpumask approach in this change. The other users of the backtracing API (sparc64 and mips) are converted to use the cpumask approach rather than the all/allbutself approach. The mips code ignored the "include_self" boolean but with this change it will now also dump a local backtrace if requested.

cpu_has_fpu macro uses smp_processor_id() and is currently executed with preemption enabled, that triggers the warning at runtime. It is assumed throughout the kernel that if any CPU has an FPU, then all CPUs would have an FPU as well, so it is safe to perform the check with preemption enabled - change the code to use raw_ variant of the check to avoid the warning.

In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include: - Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the "nofpu" parameter. - MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings are no longer valid in MIPSr6. Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to the user stack and executed from there. This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other solutions is relatively simple. When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame. A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU code. This traps back to the kernel & leads to a call to do_dsemulret which frees the allocated frame & moves the user PC back to the instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch. In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an exception & leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code. Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would: - Only affect the users single process. - Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the delay slot, which is forbidden. - Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop would. If a thread requires a delay slot emulation & no frame is available to it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until a frame is freed by another thread in the process. Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct emuframe is also removed & the PC to continue from is instead stored in struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify & shrink struct emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page allocated for them. The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the user stack non-executable where that is possible.

Commit 9791554b ("MIPS,prctl: add PR_[GS]ET_FP_MODE prctl options for MIPS") added support for the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl, which allows a userland program to modify its FP mode at runtime. This is most notably required if dynamic linking leads to the FP mode requirement changing at runtime from that indicated in the initial executable's ELF header. In order to avoid overhead in the general FP context restore code, it aimed to have threads in the process become unable to enable the FPU during a mode switch & have the thread calling the prctl syscall wait for all other threads in the process to be context switched at least once. Once that happens we can know that no thread in the process whose mode will be switched has live FP context, and it's safe to perform the mode switch. However in the (rare) case of modeswitches occurring in multithreaded programs this can lead to indeterminate delays for the thread invoking the prctl syscall, and the code monitoring for those context switches was woefully inadequate for all but the simplest cases. Fix this by broadcasting an IPI if other CPUs may have live FP context for an affected thread, with a handler causing those CPUs to relinquish their FPU ownership. Threads will then be allowed to continue running but will stall on the wait_on_atomic_t in enable_restore_fp_context if they attempt to use FP again whilst the mode switch is still in progress. The end result is less fragile poking at scheduler context switch counts & a more expedient completion of the mode switch.

When unwinding through IRQs and exceptions, the unwinding only continues if the PC is a kernel text address, however since EVA it is possible for user and kernel address ranges to overlap, potentially allowing unwinding to continue to user mode if the user PC happens to be in the kernel text address range. Adjust the check to also ensure that the register state from before the exception is actually running in kernel mode, i.e. !user_mode(regs). I don't believe any harm can come of this problem, since the PC is only output, the stack pointer is checked to ensure it resides within the task's stack page before it is dereferenced in search of the return address, and the return address register is similarly only output (if the PC is in a leaf function or the beginning of a non-leaf function). However unwind_stack() is only meant for unwinding kernel code, so to be correct the unwind should stop there.

start_thread() (called for execve(2)) clears the TIF_USEDFPU flag without atomically disabling the FPU. With a preemptive kernel, an unfortunately timed preemption after this could result in another task (or KVM guest) being scheduled in with the FPU still enabled, since lose_fpu_inatomic() only turns it off if TIF_USEDFPU is set. Use lose_fpu(0) instead of the separate FPU / MSA management, which should do the right thing (drop FPU properly and atomically without saving state) and will be more future proof.

Userland code may be built using an ABI which permits linking to objects that have more restrictive floating point requirements. For example, userland code may be built to target the O32 FPXX ABI. Such code may be linked with other FPXX code, or code built for either one of the more restrictive FP32 or FP64. When linking with more restrictive code, the overall requirement of the process becomes that of the more restrictive code. The kernel has no way to know in advance which mode the process will need to be executed in, and indeed it may need to change during execution. The dynamic loader is the only code which will know the overall required mode, and so it needs to have a means to instruct the kernel to switch the FP mode of the process. This patch introduces 2 new options to the prctl syscall which provide such a capability. The FP mode of the process is represented as a simple bitmask combining a number of mode bits mirroring those present in the hardware. Userland can either retrieve the current FP mode of the process: mode = prctl(PR_GET_FP_MODE); or modify the current FP mode of the process: err = prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, new_mode); Signed-off-by: NPaul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: Matthew Fortune <matthew.fortune@imgtec.com> Cc: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/8899/Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

There is a race in the MIPS fork code which allows the child to get a stale copy of parent MSA/FPU/DSP state that is active in hardware registers when the fork() is called. This is because copy_thread() saves the live register state into the child context only if the hardware is currently in use, apparently on the assumption that the hardware state cannot have been saved and disabled since the initial duplication of the task_struct. However preemption is certainly possible during this window. An example sequence of events is as follows: 1) The parent userland process puts important data into saved floating point registers ($f20-$f31), which are then dirty compared to the process' stored context. 2) The parent process calls fork() which does a clone system call. 3) In the kernel, do_fork() -> copy_process() -> dup_task_struct() -> arch_dup_task_struct() (which uses the weakly defined default implementation). This duplicates the parent process' task context, which includes a stale version of its FP context from when it was last saved, probably some time before (1). 4) At some point before copy_process() calls copy_thread(), such as when duplicating the memory map, the process is desceduled. Perhaps it is preempted asynchronously, or perhaps it sleeps while blocked on a mutex. The dirty FP state in the FP registers is saved to the parent process' context and the FPU is disabled. 5) When the process is rescheduled again it continues copying state until it gets to copy_thread(), which checks whether the FPU is in use, so that it can copy that dirty state to the child process' task context. Because of the deschedule however the FPU is not in use, so the child process' context is left with stale FP context from the last time the parent saved it (some time before (1)). 6) When the new child process is scheduled it reads the important data from the saved floating point register, and ends up doing a NULL pointer dereference as a result of the stale data. This use of saved floating point registers across function calls can be triggered fairly easily by explicitly using inline asm with a current (MIPS R2) compiler, but is far more likely to happen unintentionally with a MIPS R6 compiler where the FP registers are more likely to get used as scratch registers for storing non-fp data. It is easily fixed, in the same way that other architectures do it, by overriding the implementation of arch_dup_task_struct() to sync the dirty hardware state to the parent process' task context *prior* to duplicating it, rather than copying straight to the child process' task context in copy_thread(). Note, the FPU hardware is not disabled so the parent process may continue executing with the live register context, but now the child process is guaranteed to have an identical copy of it at that point.

Currently, arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() is defined in only x86 and sparc which have an NMI. But in case of softlockup, it could be possible to dump backtrace of all cpus. and this could be helpful for debugging. for example, if system has 2 cpus. CPU 0 CPU 1 acquire read_lock() try to do write_lock() ,,, missing read_unlock() In this case, softlockup will occur becasuse CPU 0 does not call read_unlock(). And dump_stack() print only backtrace for "CPU 0". If CPU1's backtrace is printed it's very helpful.
