commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.

commit 11a3799dbeb620bf0400b1fda5cc2c6bea55f20a upstream.

Fix a regression introduced with commit fb6883e5809c ("MIPS: microMIPS:
Support handling of delay slots.") and defer to `__compute_return_epc'
if the ISA bit is set in EPC with non-MIPS16, non-microMIPS hardware,
which will then arrange for a SIGBUS due to an unaligned instruction
reference.  Returning EPC here is never correct as the API defines this
function's result to be either a negative error code on failure or one
of 0 and BRANCH_LIKELY_TAKEN on success.

commit be5136988e25ae0dc8379fcb937efc63d87aba9e upstream.

There are certain places where the code uses .set mips32 or .set mips64
or .set arch=r4000. In preparation of MIPS R6 support, and in order to
use as less #ifdefs as possible, we define new macros to set similar
annotations for MIPS R6.

If the paravirt machine is compiles without CONFIG_SMP, the following

[ Upstream commit 88d02a2ba6c52350f9a73ff1b01a5be839c3ca17 ]

When the core THP code is modifying the permissions of a huge page it
calls pmd_modify(), which unfortunately was clearing the _PAGE_HUGE bit
of the page table entry.  The result can be kernel messages like:

mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 000000040080004d.
mm/memory.c:397: bad pmd 00000003ff00004d.

[ Upstream commit d7de413475f443957a0c1d256e405d19b3a2cb22 ]

TASK_SIZE was defined as 0x7fff8000UL which for 64k pages is not a
multiple of the page size.  Somewhere further down the math fails
such that executing an ELF binary fails.

[ Upstream commit 797179bc4fe06c89e47a9f36f886f68640b423f8 ]

Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.

[ Upstream commit e49d38488515057dba8f0c2ba4cfde5be4a7281f ]

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'.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Drop patch segment to junk file.]
