Subject: [PATCH 4.4 28/30] MIPS: Fix bnezc/jialc return address calculation
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2017 23:21:02 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170619152034.774803859@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170619152033.211450261@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com>

commit 1a73d9310e093fc3adffba4d0a67b9fab2ee3f63 upstream.

The code handling the pop76 opcode (ie. bnezc & jialc instructions) in
__compute_return_epc_for_insn() needs to set the value of $31 in the
jialc case, which is encoded with rs = 0. However its check to
differentiate bnezc (rs != 0) from jialc (rs = 0) was unfortunately
backwards, meaning that if we emulate a bnezc instruction we clobber $31
& if we emulate a jialc instruction it actually behaves like a jic
instruction.

Fix this by inverting the check of rs to match the way the instructions
are actually encoded.
