When the core THP code is modifying the permissions of a huge page it
calls pmd_modify(), which unfortunately was clearing the _PAGE_HUGE bit
of the page table entry.  The result can be kernel messages like:

mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 000000040080004d.
mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 00000003ff00004d.
mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 000000040100004d.

The following testcase may result in a page table entries with a invalid
CCA field being generated:

static void *bindstack;

static int sysrqfd;

static void protect_low(int protect)
{
	mprotect(bindstack, BINDSTACK_SIZE, protect);
}

static void sigbus_handler(int signal, siginfo_t * info, void *context)
{
	void *addr = info-&gt;si_addr;

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	printf("sigbus, fault address %p (should not happen, but might)\n",
	       addr);
	abort();
}

static void run_bind_test(void)
{
	unsigned int *p = bindstack;

	p[0] = 0xf001f001;

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	/* Set trap on access to p[0] */
	protect_low(PROT_NONE);

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	/* Clear trap on access to p[0] */
	protect_low(PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC);

	write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

	/* Check the contents of p[0] */
	if (p[0] != 0xf001f001) {
		write(sysrqfd, "x", 1);

		/* Reached, but shouldn't be */
		printf("badness, shouldn't happen but does\n");
		abort();
	}
}

int main(void)
{
	struct sigaction sa;

	sysrqfd = open("/proc/sysrq-trigger", O_WRONLY);

	if (sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, NULL, &amp;sa.sa_mask)) {
		perror("sigprocmask");
		return 0;
	}

	sa.sa_sigaction = sigbus_handler;
	sa.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO | SA_NODEFER | SA_RESTART;
	if (sigaction(SIGBUS, &amp;sa, NULL)) {
		perror("sigaction");
		return 0;
	}

	bindstack = mmap(NULL,
			 BINDSTACK_SIZE,
			 PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC,
			 MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
	if (bindstack == MAP_FAILED) {
		perror("mmap bindstack");
		return 0;
	}

	printf("bindstack: %p\n", bindstack);

	run_bind_test();

	printf("done\n");

	return 0;
}

There are multiple ingredients for this:

 1) PAGE_NONE is defined to _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT, which is CCA 3
    on all platforms except SB1 where it's CCA 5.
 2) _page_cachable_default must have bits set which are not set
    _CACHE_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT.
 3) Either the defective version of pte_modify for XPA or the standard
    version must be in used.  However pte_modify for the 36 bit address
    space support is no affected.

In that case additional bits in the final CCA mode may generate an invalid
value for the CCA field.  On the R10000 system where this was tracked
down for example a CCA 7 has been observed, which is Uncached Accelerated.

Fixed by:

 1) Using the proper CCA mode for PAGE_NONE just like for all the other
    PAGE_* pte/pmd bits.
 2) Fix the two affected variants of pte_modify.

Further code inspection also shows the same issue to exist in pmd_modify
which would affect huge page systems.

Issue in pte_modify tracked down by Alastair Bridgewater, PAGE_NONE
and pmd_modify issue found by me.

The history of this goes back beyond Linus' git history.  Chris Dearman's
commit 351336929ccf222ae38ff0cb7a8dd5fd5c6236a0 ("[MIPS] Allow setting of
the cache attribute at run time.") missed the opportunity to fix this
but it was originally introduced in lmo commit
d523832cf12007b3242e50bb77d0c9e63e0b6518 ("Missing from last commit.")
and 32cc38229ac7538f2346918a09e75413e8861f87 ("New configuration option
CONFIG_MIPS_UNCACHED.")

__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations.

pte_alloc_one{_kernel}, pmd_alloc_one allocate PTE_ORDER resp.
PMD_ORDER but both are not larger than 1.  This means that this flag has
never been actually useful here because it has always been used only for
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY requests.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Fix CACHE triggered exception emulation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6df82a7b88dc9b0b519765562b005ef9196d812a</id>
<content type='text'>
When emulating TLB miss / invalid exceptions during CACHE instruction
emulation, be sure to set up the correct PC and host_cp0_badvaddr state
for the kvm_mips_emlulate_tlb*_ld() function to pick up for guest EPC
and BadVAddr.

PC needs to be rewound otherwise the guest EPC will end up pointing at
the next instruction after the faulting CACHE instruction.

host_cp0_badvaddr must be set because guest CACHE instructions trap with
a Coprocessor Unusable exception, which doesn't update the host BadVAddr
as a TLB exception would.

This doesn't tend to get hit when dynamic translation of emulated
instructions is enabled, since only the first execution of each CACHE
instruction actually goes through this code path, with subsequent
executions hitting the SYNCI instruction that it gets replaced with.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Don't unwind PC when emulating CACHE</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cc81e9486202345d6ca56495cf8b5f3d03fbc563</id>
<content type='text'>
When a CACHE instruction is emulated by kvm_mips_emulate_cache(), the PC
is first updated to point to the next instruction, and afterwards it
falls through the "dont_update_pc" label, which rewinds the PC back to
its original address.

This works when dynamic translation of emulated instructions is enabled,
since the CACHE instruction is replaced with a SYNCI which works without
trapping, however when dynamic translation is disabled the guest hangs
on CACHE instructions as they always trap and are never stepped over.

Roughly swap the meanings of the "done" and "dont_update_pc" to match
kvm_mips_emulate_CP0(), so that "done" will roll back the PC on failure,
and "dont_update_pc" won't change PC at all (for the sake of exceptions
that have already modified the PC).

<title>MIPS: KVM: Include bit 31 in segment matches</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7f5a1ddc792901249c2060e165bcb3ca779cde35</id>
<content type='text'>
When faulting guest addresses are matched against guest segments with
the KVM_GUEST_KSEGX() macro, change the mask to 0xe0000000 so as to
include bit 31.

This is mainly for safety's sake, as it prevents a rogue BadVAddr in the
host kseg2/kseg3 segments (e.g. 0xC*******) after a TLB exception from
matching the guest kseg0 segment (e.g. 0x4*******), triggering an
internal KVM error instead of allowing the corresponding guest kseg0
page to be mapped into the host vmalloc space.

Such a rogue BadVAddr was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel
running under QEMU with KVM built as a module, due to a not entirely
transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB handling. This has already been
worked around properly in a previous commit.

<id>urn:sha1:797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8</id>
<content type='text'>
Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.

The corresponding FROZEN hotplug notifier transitions used on
suspend/resume are ignored. Therefore the switch case action argument
is masked with the frozen hotplug notifier transition mask.
