commit 9e0f162a36 upstream.
In commit 8393c524a2 (MIPS: tlbex: Fix a missing statement for
HUGETLB), the TLB Refill handler was fixed so that non-OCTEON targets
would work properly with huge pages. The change was incorrect in that
it broke the OCTEON case.
The problem is shown here:
xxx0: df7a0000 ld k0,0(k1)
.
.
.
xxxc0: df610000 ld at,0(k1)
xxxc4: 335a0ff0 andi k0,k0,0xff0
xxxc8: e825ffcd bbit1 at,0x5,0x0
xxxcc: 003ad82d daddu k1,at,k0
.
.
.
In the non-octeon case there is a destructive test for the huge PTE
bit, and then at 0, $k0 is reloaded (that is what the 8393c524a2
patch added).
In the octeon case, we modify k1 in the branch delay slot, but we
never need k0 again, so the new load is not needed, but since k1 is
modified, if we do the load, we load from a garbage location and then
get a nested TLB Refill, which is seen in userspace as either SIGBUS
or SIGSEGV (depending on the garbage).
The real fix is to only do this reloading if it is needed, and never
where it is harmful.
