      MIPS: memset.S: Fix return of __clear_user from Lpartial_fixup · daf70d89
      Matt Redfearn authored
      The __clear_user function is defined to return the number of bytes that
      could not be cleared. From the underlying memset / bzero implementation
      this means setting register a2 to that number on return. Currently if a
      page fault is triggered within the memset_partial block, the value
      loaded into a2 on return is meaningless.
      
      The label .Lpartial_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault. In order to work
      out how many bytes failed to copy, the exception handler should find how
      many bytes left in the partial block (andi a2, STORMASK), add that to
      the partial block end address (a2), and subtract the faulting address to
      get the remainder. Currently it incorrectly subtracts the partial block
      start address (t1), which has additionally been clobbered to generate a
      jump target in memset_partial. Fix this by adding the block end address
      instead.
      
      This issue was found with the following test code:
            int j, k;
            for (j = 0; j < 512; j++) {
              if ((k = clear_user(NULL, j)) != j) {
                 pr_err("clear_user (NULL %d) returned %d\n", j, k);
              }
            }
      Which now passes on Creator Ci40 (MIPS32) and Cavium Octeon II (MIPS64).

      MIPS: memset.S: EVA & fault support for small_memset · 8a8158c8
      Matt Redfearn authored
      The MIPS kernel memset / bzero implementation includes a small_memset
      branch which is used when the region to be set is smaller than a long (4
      bytes on 32bit, 8 bytes on 64bit). The current small_memset
      implementation uses a simple store byte loop to write the destination.
      There are 2 issues with this implementation:
      
      1. When EVA mode is active, user and kernel address spaces may overlap.
      Currently the use of the sb instruction means kernel mode addressing is
      always used and an intended write to userspace may actually overwrite
      some critical kernel data.
      
      2. If the write triggers a page fault, for example by calling
      __clear_user(NULL, 2), instead of gracefully handling the fault, an OOPS
      is triggered.
      
      Fix these issues by replacing the sb instruction with the EX() macro,
      which will emit EVA compatible instuctions as required. Additionally
      implement a fault fixup for small_memset which sets a2 to the number of
      bytes that could not be cleared (as defined by __clear_user).

      MIPS: Use the entry point from the ELF file header · 27c524d1
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored
      In order to fetch the correct entry point with the ISA bit included, for
      use by non-ELF boot loaders, parse the output of `objdump -f' for the
      start address recorded in the kernel executable itself, rather than
      using `nm' to get the value of the `kernel_entry' symbol.
      
      Sign-extend the address retrieved if 32-bit, so that execution is
      correctly started on 64-bit processors as well.  The tool always prints
      the entry point using either 8 or 16 hexadecimal digits, matching the
      address width (aka class) of the ELF file, even in the presence of
      leading zeros.

      MIPS: Expand help text to list generic defconfigs · cccd0b9a
      James Hogan authored
      Expand the MIPS Makefile help text to list generic board names, generic
      defconfigs, and legacy defconfigs which have been converted to generic
      and are still usable.
      
      Here's a snippet of the new "make ARCH=mips help" output:
        ...
        If you are targeting a system supported by generic kernels you may
        configure the kernel for a given architecture target like so:
      
        {micro32,32,64}{r1,r2,r6}{el,}_defconfig <BOARDS="list of boards">
      
        Where BOARDS is some subset of the following:
          boston
          ni169445
          ranchu
          sead-3
          xilfpga
      
        Specifically the following generic default configurations are
        supported:
      
        32r1_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r1
        32r1el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r1 little endian
        32r2_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r2
        32r2el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r2 little endian
        32r6_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r6
        32r6el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS32 r6 little endian
        64r1_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r1
        64r1el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r1 little endian
        64r2_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r2
        64r2el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r2 little endian
        64r6_defconfig           - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r6
        64r6el_defconfig         - Build generic kernel for MIPS64 r6 little endian
        micro32r2_defconfig      - Build generic kernel for microMIPS32 r2
        micro32r2el_defconfig    - Build generic kernel for microMIPS32 r2 little endian
      
        The following legacy default configurations have been converted to
        generic and can still be used:
      
        sead3_defconfig          - Build 32r2el_defconfig BOARDS=sead-3
        sead3micro_defconfig     - Build micro32r2el_defconfig BOARDS=sead-3
        xilfpga_defconfig        - Build 32r2el_defconfig BOARDS=xilfpga
        ...
