commit 69e976831cd53f9ba304fd20305b2025ecc78eab upstream.
LLVM-built Linux triggered a boot hangup with KASLR enabled.
arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c:get_random_boot() uses linux_banner,
which is a string constant, as a random seed, but accesses it
as an array of unsigned long (in rotate_xor()).
When the address of linux_banner is not aligned to sizeof(long),
such access emits unaligned access exception and hangs the kernel.Use PTR_ALIGN() to align input address to sizeof(long) and also
align down the input length to prevent possible access-beyond-end.Fixes: 405bc8fd12f5 ("MIPS: Kernel: Implement KASLR using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE")

commit 698222457465ce343443be81c5512edda86e5914 upstream.
Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012
had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c)
coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the
usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed.As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels
have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of
all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git).Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the
regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports. The minimal
solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing
those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.cCc: stable@kernel.org # v3.7+

Linux doesn't own the memory immediately after the kernel image. On Octeon
bootloader places a shared structure right close after the kernel _end,
refer to "struct cvmx_bootinfo *octeon_bootinfo" in cavium-octeon/setup.c.If check_kernel_sections_mem() rounds the PFNs up, first memblock_alloc()

There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app. Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2). It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint. It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement. I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations. In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment. With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky. Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone. Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint. It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.So finally, the API is as follows,
ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);DESCRIPTION
The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
system or application performance.The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
as:struct iovec {
void *iov_base; /* starting address */
size_t iov_len; /* number of bytes to be advised */
};The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
and with size length of bytes(iov_len).The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.
The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
external.MADV_COLD
MADV_PAGEOUTPermission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
vector address ranges.RETURN VALUE
On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
This return value may be less than the total number of requested
bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
to determine whether a partial advice occurred.FAQ:
Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?
Quote from Sandeep
"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote. The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves. We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.- ssp
Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called. If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect. It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition. For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called. Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process. Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm. The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization. It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.The race isn't really a problem though. Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner? Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something. Think about mmap. It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before. That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside. It shouldn't be part of API itself. If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3]. Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?
Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA. Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill. It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.[1] https://developer.android.com/topic/performance/memory"

When the kernel crashkernel parameter is specified with just a size,
we are supposed to allocate a region from RAM to store the crashkernel.
However, MIPS merely reserves physical address zero with no checking
that there is even RAM there.Fix this by lifting similar code from x86, importing it to MIPS with the
MIPS specific parameters added. In the absence of any platform specific
information, we allocate the crashkernel region from the first 512MB of
physical memory (limited to CKSEG0 or KSEG0 address range).When X is not specified, crash_base defaults to 0 (crashkernel=YM@XM).
E.g. without this patch:
The environment as follows:
[ 0.000000] MIPS: machine is loongson,loongson64c-4core-ls7a

[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/sda2 crashkernel=96M ...The warning as follows:

Loongson-3 has 16-bytes load/store instructions: gslq and gssq. This
patch calculate ra properly when unwinding the stack, if ra is saved
by gssq and restored by gslq.Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen

Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel
mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions)
overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/
gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel.Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel,
which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try
to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2,
which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context
switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2
in its THERAD_STATUS probably.For zboot, we disable gslq/gssq be generated by toolchain.

The previous code was doing:
BUG_ON(!__builtin_constant_p(cpu_has_counter) || cpu_has_counter);This only worked as the "cpu_has_counter" macro was overridden in
. The default "cpu_has_counter" macro is
non-constant, which triggered the BUG_ON() independently of the value
returned by the macro.What we want to check here, is that *if* the macro was overridden to a
compile-time constant, then must be defined to zero, otherwise it's a
bug.So the correct check is:
BUG_ON(__builtin_constant_p(cpu_has_counter) && cpu_has_counter);Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil

Previously, in cpu_probe_ingenic(), c->writecombine was set to
_CACHE_UNCACHED_ACCELERATED, but this macro was defined differently when
CONFIG_MACH_INGENIC was set. This made it impossible to support multiple
CPUs.Address this issue by setting c->writecombine to _CACHE_CACHABLE_WA
directly and removing the dependency on CONFIG_MACH_INGENIC.Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil

In cc97ab235f3f ("MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization), init_fp_ctx
just initialize the fp/msa context, and own_fp_inatomic just restore
FCSR and 64bit FP regs from it, but miss MSACSR and upper MSA regs for
MSA, so MSACSR and MSA upper regs's value from previous task on current
cpu can leak into current task and cause unpredictable behavior when MSA
context not initialized.Fixes: cc97ab235f3f ("MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization")
