The label .Llast_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault within the final
byte set loop of memset (on < MIPSR6 architectures). For some reason, in
this fault handler, the v1 register is randomly set to a2 & STORMASK.
This clobbers v1 for the calling function. This can be observed with the
following test code:
static int __init __attribute__((optimize("O0"))) test_clear_user(void)
{
register int t asm("v1");
char *test;
int j, k;
pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");
test = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);
for (j = 256; j < 512; j++) {
t = 0xa5a5a5a5;
if ((k = clear_user(test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j)) != j - 256) {
pr_err("clear_user (%px %d) returned %d\n", test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j, k);
}
if (t != 0xa5a5a5a5) {
pr_err("v1 was clobbered to 0x%x!\n", t);
}
}
return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);
Which demonstrates that v1 is indeed clobbered (MIPS64):
Testing clear_user
v1 was clobbered to 0x1!
v1 was clobbered to 0x2!
v1 was clobbered to 0x3!
v1 was clobbered to 0x4!
v1 was clobbered to 0x5!
v1 was clobbered to 0x6!
v1 was clobbered to 0x7!
Since the number of bytes that could not be set is already contained in
a2, the andi placing a value in v1 is not necessary and actively
harmful in clobbering v1.

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).

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).

__clear_user() (and clear_user() which uses it), always access the user
mode address space, which results in EVA store instructions when EVA is
enabled even if the current user address limit is KERNEL_DS.
Fix this by adding a new symbol __bzero_kernel for the normal kernel
address space bzero in EVA mode, and call that from __clear_user() if
eva_kernel_access().

partial_fixup is used in noreorder block.
Separating two consecutive loads can save one cycle on processors with
GPR intrelock and can fix load-use on processors that need a load delay slot.
Also do so for fwd_fixup.
[Ralf: Only R2000/R3000 class processors are lacking the the load-user
interlock and even some of those got it retrofitted. With R2000/R3000
being fairly uncommon these days the impact of this bug should be minor.]

These symbols appear in oprofile output, stacktraces and similar but only
make the output harder to read. Many identical symbol names such as

This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds
bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li
and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected,
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays
unchanged.
Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).
Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.
Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the
run time.
Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in
a branch delay slot.
