[PATCH 4.1 012/123] MIPS: Fix erroneous JR emulation for MIPS R6

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Sat Aug 08 2015 - 18:12:10 EST


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

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

From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 143fefc8f315cd10e046e6860913c421c3385cb1 upstream.

Commit 5f9f41c474befb4ebbc40b27f65bb7d649241581 ("MIPS: kernel: Prepare
the JR instruction for emulation on MIPS R6") added support for
emulating the JR instruction on MIPS R6 cores but that introduced a bug
which could be triggered when hitting a JALR opcode because the code used
the wrong field in the 'r_format' struct to determine the instruction
opcode. This lead to crashes because an emulated JALR instruction was
treated as a JR one when the R6 emulator was turned off.
