<content type='text'>
commit f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b upstream.

Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.

commit c7e814628df65f424fe197dde73bfc67e4a244d7 upstream.

Use 64-bit accesses for 64-bit floating-point general registers with
PTRACE_PEEKUSR, removing the truncation of their upper halves in the
FR=1 mode, caused by commit bbd426f542cb ("MIPS: Simplify FP context
access"), which inadvertently switched them to using 32-bit accesses.

The PTRACE_POKEUSR side is fine as it's never been broken and continues
using 64-bit accesses.

commit 9a3a92ccfe3620743d4ae57c987dc8e9c5f88996 upstream.

Check the TIF_32BIT_FPREGS task setting of the tracee rather than the
tracer in determining the layout of floating-point general registers in
the floating-point context, correcting access to odd-numbered registers
for o32 tracees where the setting disagrees between the two processes.

<title>sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt;</title>

<id>urn:sha1:68db0cf10678630d286f4bbbbdfa102951a35faa</id>
<content type='text'>
We are going to split &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; out of &lt;linux/sched.h&gt;, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder &lt;linux/sched/task_stack.h&gt; file that just
maps to &lt;linux/sched.h&gt; to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

<title>ptrace: Don't allow accessing an undumpable mm</title>

<content type='text'>
It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file.  This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.

As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.

In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm.  There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks.  As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.

This bug has always existed in Linux.

<title>mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags</title>

<content type='text'>
This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.

The struct user definition in this file is not used anywhere (the ELF
core dumper does not use that format). Therefore, remove the header and
instead enable the asm-generic user.h which is an empty header to
satisfy a few generic headers which still try to include user.h.

<title>MIPS: ptrace: Fix user pt_regs definition, use in ptrace_{get, set}regs()</title>

<content type='text'>
In uapi/asm/ptrace.h, a user version of pt_regs is defined wrapped in
ifndef __KERNEL__. This structure definition does not match anything
used by any kernel API, in particular it does not match the format used
by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS.

Therefore, replace the structure definition with one matching what is
used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. The format used by these is the same for
both 32-bit and 64-bit.

Also, change the implementation of PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS to use this new
structure definition. The structure is renamed to user_pt_regs when
__KERNEL__ is defined to avoid conflicts with the kernel's own pt_regs.

<title>MIPS: ptrace: Avoid smp_processor_id() when retrieving FPU IR</title>

<id>urn:sha1:656ff9bef08c19a6471b49528dacb4cbbeb1e537</id>
<content type='text'>
Whenever ptrace attempts to retrieve the FPU implementation register it
accesses it through current_cpu_data, which calls smp_processor_id().
Since the code may execute with preemption enabled, this can trigger
a warning. Fix this by using boot_cpu_data to get the IR instead.
