MIPS: stack protector: Fix per-task canary switch
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.
