* kernel: mips: fix init crash/bootloop on 64-bit systemsTony Ambardar2020-08-151-0/+59
The malta subtargets for mips64 and mips64el fail to start the init process at boot, resulting in a boot loop. The issue was raised and analyzed within FS#3277. Investigation suggested code near the [vdso] memory area of the process was long jumping into a region inaccessible to the process, e.g. init: - preinit - init: Launched preinit instance, pid=522 do_page_fault(): sending SIGSEGV to init for invalid read access from 0000000000000360 epc = 0000000000000360 in init[aaab42b000+4000] ra = 000000fffee385e0 in Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b Rebooting in 1 seconds.. Note the low-memory read access and epc are the same. Upstream kernel 5.6 included a relevant patch and discussion: * d3f703c4359f ("mips: vdso: fix 'jalr t9' crash in vdso code") Disassembly of the failing kernel's vdso.so confirmed presence of the telltale long jumps, e.g.: 00000000000007c0 <__vdso_clock_getres@@LINUX_2.6>: [...] 7dc: 0320f809 jalr t9 [...] Restore booting mips64/mips64el malta by backporting the above commit: * 310-v5.6-mips-vdso-fix-jalr-t9-crash-in-vdso-code.patch Fixes: 54310a3aa02f ("malta: add kernel 5.4 config") Fixes: FS#3277 Ref: https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=3277 Signed-off-by: Tony Ambardar <itugrok@yahoo.com>
