HTW needs to stop and start again whenever the EntryHI register changes otherwise an inflight HTW operation might use the new EntryHI register for updating an old entry and that could lead to crashes or even a machine check exception. We fix this by ensuring the HTW has stop whenever the EntryHI register is about to change Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # v3.17+ Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/mips/mm/tlb-r4k.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/mips/mm/tlb-r4k.c b/arch/mips/mm/tlb-r4k.c index fa6ebd4bc9e9..c3917e251f59 100644 --- a/arch/mips/mm/tlb-r4k.c +++ b/arch/mips/mm/tlb-r4k.c @@ -299,6 +299,7 @@ void __update_tlb(struct vm_area_struct * vma, unsigned long address, pte_t pte) local_irq_save(flags); + htw_stop(); pid = read_c0_entryhi() & ASID_MASK; address &= (PAGE_MASK << 1); write_c0_entryhi(address | pid); @@ -346,6 +347,7 @@ void __update_tlb(struct vm_area_struct * vma, unsigned long address, pte_t pte) tlb_write_indexed(); } tlbw_use_hazard(); + htw_start(); flush_itlb_vm(vma); local_irq_restore(flags); } @@ -422,6 +424,7 @@ __init int add_temporary_entry(unsigned long entrylo0, unsigned long entrylo1, local_irq_save(flags); /* Save old context and create impossible VPN2 value */ + htw_stop(); old_ctx = read_c0_entryhi(); old_pagemask = read_c0_pagemask(); wired = read_c0_wired(); @@ -443,6 +446,7 @@ __init int add_temporary_entry(unsigned long entrylo0, unsigned long entrylo1, write_c0_entryhi(old_ctx); write_c0_pagemask(old_pagemask); + htw_start(); out: local_irq_restore(flags); return ret; -- 2.1.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
