3.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: James Hogan <james.hogan@imgtec.com>
commit 8b3c569a3999a8fd5a819f892525ab5520777c92 upstream.
Commit 1400eb6 (MIPS: r4k,octeon,r2300: stack protector: change canary
per task) was merged in v3.11 and introduced assembly in the MIPS resume
functions to update the value of the current canary in
__stack_chk_guard. However it used PTR_L resulting in a load of the
canary value, instead of PTR_LA to construct its address. The value is
intended to be random but is then treated as an address in the
subsequent LONG_S (store).
This was observed to cause a fault and panic:
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 139fea20, epc == 8000cc0c, ra == 8034f2a4
Oops[#1]:
...
$24 : 139fea20 1e1f7cb6
...
Call Trace:
[<8000cc0c>] resume+0xac/0x118
[<8034f2a4>] __schedule+0x5f8/0x78c
[<8034f4e0>] schedule_preempt_disabled+0x20/0x2c
[<80348eec>] rest_init+0x74/0x84
[<804dc990>] start_kernel+0x43c/0x454
Code: 3c18804b 8f184030 8cb901f8 <af190000> 00c0e021 8cb002f0 8cb102f4 8cb202f8 8cb302fc
This can also be forced by modifying
arch/mips/include/asm/stackprotector.h so that the default
__stack_chk_guard value is more likely to be a bad (or unaligned)
pointer.
Fix it to use PTR_LA instead, to load the address of the canary value,
which the LONG_S can then use to write into it.
