491af60ffb848b59e82f7c9145833222e0bf27a5 upstream.
Fix page fault handling code to fixup r16-r18 registers.
Before the patch code had off-by-two registers bug.
This bug caused overwriting of ps,pc,gp registers instead
of fixing intended r16,r17,r18 (see `struct pt_regs`).
More details:
Initially Dmitry noticed a kernel bug as a failure
on strace test suite. Test passes unmapped userspace
pointer to io_submit:
```c
#include <err.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <asm/unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
unsigned long ctx = 0;
if (syscall(__NR_io_setup, 1, &ctx))
err(1, "io_setup");
const size_t page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
const size_t size = page_size * 2;
void *ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (MAP_FAILED == ptr)
err(1, "mmap(%zu)", size);
if (munmap(ptr, size))
err(1, "munmap");
syscall(__NR_io_submit, ctx, 1, ptr + page_size);
syscall(__NR_io_destroy, ctx);
return 0;
}
```
Running this test causes kernel to crash when handling page fault:
```

Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
Trace:
[<
fffffc0000311404>] entSys+0xa4/0xc0
```
Here `gp` has invalid value. `gp is s overwritten by a fixup for the
following page fault handler in `io_submit` syscall handler:
```
__se_sys_io_submit
...
ldq a1,0(t1)
bne t0,4280 <__se_sys_io_submit+0x180>
```
After a page fault `t0` should contain -EFALUT and `a1` is 0.
Instead `gp` was overwritten in place of `a1`.
This happens due to a off-by-two bug in `dpf_reg()` for `r16-r18`
(aka `a0-a2`).
I think the bug went unnoticed for a long time as `gp` is one
of scratch registers. Any kernel function call would re-calculate `gp`.
Dmitry tracked down the bug origin back to 2.1.32 kernel version
where trap_a{0,1,2} fields were inserted into struct pt_regs.
And even before that `dpf_reg()` contained off-by-one error.
