Fix a build regression from commit c9017757c532 ("MIPS: init upper 64b
of vector registers when MSA is first used"):

arch/mips/built-in.o: In function `enable_restore_fp_context':
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbb90): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): undefined reference to `_init_msa_upper'
traps.c:(.text+0xbef0): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `_init_msa_upper'

to !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations with older GCC versions, which are
unable to figure out that calls to `_init_msa_upper' are indeed dead.
Of the many ways to tackle this failure choose the approach we have
already taken in `thread_msa_context_live'.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Fix timer IRQ race when writing CP0_Compare</title>

[ Upstream commit b45bacd2d048f405c7760e5cc9b60dd67708734f ]

Writing CP0_Compare clears the timer interrupt pending bit
(CP0_Cause.TI), but this wasn't being done atomically. If a timer
interrupt raced with the write of the guest CP0_Compare, the timer
interrupt could end up being pending even though the new CP0_Compare is
nowhere near CP0_Count.

We were already updating the hrtimer expiry with
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), which used both kvm_mips_freeze_hrtimer() and
kvm_mips_resume_hrtimer(). Close the race window by expanding out
kvm_mips_update_hrtimer(), and clearing CP0_Cause.TI and setting
CP0_Compare between the freeze and resume. Since the pending timer
interrupt should not be cleared when CP0_Compare is written via the KVM
user API, an ack argument is added to distinguish the source of the
write.

<title>MIPS: Fix buffer overflow in syscall_get_arguments()</title>

[ Upstream commit f4dce1ffd2e30fa31756876ef502ce6d2324be35 ]

Since commit 4c21b8fd8f14 ("MIPS: seccomp: Handle indirect system calls
(o32)"), syscall_get_arguments() attempts to handle o32 indirect syscall
arguments by incrementing both the start argument number and the number
of arguments to fetch. However only the start argument number needs to
be incremented. The number of arguments does not change, they're just
shifted up by one, and in fact the output array is provided by the
caller and is likely only n entries long, so reading more arguments
overflows the output buffer.

In the case of seccomp, this results in it fetching 7 arguments starting
at the 2nd one, which overflows the unsigned long args[6] in
populate_seccomp_data(). This clobbers the $s0 register from
syscall_trace_enter() which __seccomp_phase1_filter() saved onto the
stack, into which syscall_trace_enter() had placed its syscall number
argument. This caused Chromium to crash.

Credit goes to Milko for tracking it down as far as $s0 being clobbered.

[ Upstream commit 46011e6ea39235e4aca656673c500eac81a07a17 ]

On MIPS the GLOBAL bit of the PTE must have the same value in any
aligned pair of PTEs.  These pairs of PTEs are referred to as
"buddies".  In a SMP system is is possible for two CPUs to be calling
set_pte() on adjacent PTEs at the same time.  There is a race between
setting the PTE and a different CPU setting the GLOBAL bit in its
buddy PTE.

This race can be observed when multiple CPUs are executing
vmap()/vfree() at the same time.

Make setting the buddy PTE's GLOBAL bit an atomic operation to close
the race condition.

The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR &amp;&amp; CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
handled.

[ Upstream commit 3aff47c062b944a5e1f9af56a37a23f5295628fc ]

When EVA is enabled, flush the Return Prediction Stack (RPS) present on
some MIPS cores on entry to the kernel from user mode.

This is important specifically for interAptiv with EVA enabled,
otherwise kernel mode RPS mispredicts may trigger speculative fetches of
user return addresses, which may be sensitive in the kernel address
space due to EVA's overlapping user/kernel address spaces.

[ Upstream commit 8e748c8d09a9314eedb5c6367d9acfaacddcdc88 ]

KVM guest kernels for trap &amp; emulate run in user mode, with a modified
set of kernel memory segments. However the fixmap address is still in
the normal KSeg3 region at 0xfffe0000 regardless, causing problems when
cache alias handling makes use of them when handling copy on write.

Therefore define FIXADDR_TOP as 0x7ffe0000 in the guest kernel mapped
region when CONFIG_KVM_GUEST is defined.

[ Upstream commit 60cd7e08e453bc6828ac4b539f949e4acd80f143 ]

Introduce new macros for kernel load/store variants which will be
used to perform regular kernel space load/store operations in EVA
mode.

<title>MIPS: lose_fpu(): Disable FPU when MSA enabled</title>

[ Upstream commit f8483988cadd7dd22de928db29ed3bcbe02faf78 ]

The lose_fpu() function only disables the FPU in CP0_Status.CU1 if the
FPU is in use and MSA isn't enabled.

This isn't necessarily a problem because KSTK_STATUS(current), the
version of CP0_Status stored on the kernel stack on entry from user
mode, does always get updated and gets restored when returning to user
mode, but I don't think it was intended, and it is inconsistent with the
case of only the FPU being in use. Sometimes leaving the FPU enabled may
also mask kernel bugs where FPU operations are executed when the FPU
might not be enabled.

So lets disable the FPU in the MSA case too.
