From d90a8aca4e7b01edad7f40240c1409047b55f8a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claggy3 Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 14:00:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Update vfpmodule.c Christopher Alexander Tobias Schulze - May 2, 2015, 11:57 a.m. This patch fixes a problem with VFP state save and restore related to exception handling (panic with message "BUG: unsupported FP instruction in kernel mode") present on VFP11 floating point units (as used with ARM1176JZF-S CPUs, e.g. on first generation Raspberry Pi boards). This patch was developed and discussed on https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/859 A precondition to see the crashes is that floating point exception traps are enabled. In this case, the VFP11 might determine that a FPU operation needs to trap at a point in time when it is not possible to signal this to the ARM11 core any more. The VFP11 will then set the FPEXC.EX bit and store the trapped opcode in FPINST. (In some cases, a second opcode might have been accepted by the VFP11 before the exception was detected and could be reported to the ARM11 - in this case, the VFP11 also sets FPEXC.FP2V and stores the second opcode in FPINST2.) If FPEXC.EX is set, the VFP11 will "bounce" the next FPU opcode issued by the ARM11 CPU, which will be seen by the ARM11 as an undefined opcode trap. The VFP support code examines the FPEXC.EX and FPEXC.FP2V bits to decide what actions to take, i.e., whether to emulate the opcodes found in FPINST and FPINST2, and whether to retry the bounced instruction. If a user space application has left the VFP11 in this "pending trap" state, the next FPU opcode issued to the VFP11 might actually be the VSTMIA operation vfp_save_state() uses to store the FPU registers to memory (in our test cases, when building the signal stack frame). In this case, the kernel crashes as described above. This patch fixes the problem by making sure that vfp_save_state() is always entered with FPEXC.EX cleared. (The current value of FPEXC has already been saved, so this does not corrupt the context. Clearing FPEXC.EX has no effects on FPINST or FPINST2. Also note that many callers already modify FPEXC by setting FPEXC.EN before invoking vfp_save_state().) This patch also addresses a second problem related to FPEXC.EX: After returning from signal handling, the kernel reloads the VFP context from the user mode stack. However, the current code explicitly clears both FPEXC.EX and FPEXC.FP2V during reload. As VFP11 requires these bits to be preserved, this patch disables clearing them for VFP implementations belonging to architecture 1. There should be no negative side effects: the user can set both bits by executing FPU opcodes anyway, and while user code may now place arbitrary values into FPINST and FPINST2 (e.g., non-VFP ARM opcodes) the VFP support code knows which instructions can be emulated, and rejects other opcodes with "unhandled bounce" messages, so there should be no security impact from allowing reloading FPEXC.EX and FPEXC.FP2V.
