[ Upstream commit 11ba1728be3edb6928791f4c622f154ebe228ae6 ]

On architectures with delay slot, architecture level instruction
pointer (or program counter) in pt_regs may differ from where
exception was triggered.

Introduce exception_ip hook to invoke architecture code and determine
actual instruction pointer to the exception.

<title>MIPS: Add 'memory' clobber to csum_ipv6_magic() inline assembler</title>

[ Upstream commit d55347bfe4e66dce2e1e7501e5492f4af3e315f8 ]

After 'lib: checksum: Use aligned accesses for ip_fast_csum and
csum_ipv6_magic tests' was applied, the test_csum_ipv6_magic unit test
started failing for all mips platforms, both little and bit endian.
Oddly enough, adding debug code into test_csum_ipv6_magic() made the
problem disappear.

The gcc manual says:

"The "memory" clobber tells the compiler that the assembly code performs
 memory reads or writes to items other than those listed in the input
 and output operands (for example, accessing the memory pointed to by one
 of the input parameters)
"

This is definitely the case for csum_ipv6_magic(). Indeed, adding the
'memory' clobber fixes the problem.

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

commit 4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ]

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

<title>mips: dmi: Fix early remap on MIPS32</title>

[ Upstream commit 0d0a3748a2cb38f9da1f08d357688ebd982eb788 ]

dmi_early_remap() has been defined as ioremap_cache() which on MIPS32 gets
to be converted to the VM-based mapping. DMI early remapping is performed
at the setup_arch() stage with no VM available. So calling the
dmi_early_remap() for MIPS32 causes the system to crash at the early boot
time. Fix that by converting dmi_early_remap() to the uncached remapping
which is always available on both 32 and 64-bits MIPS systems.

Note this change shall not cause any regressions on the current DMI
support implementation because on the early boot-up stage neither MIPS32
nor MIPS64 has the cacheable ioremapping support anyway.

Here, change the dependency of building kexec_core related object files,
and the ifdeffery in mips from CONFIG_KEXEC to CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE.

<title>MIPS: Loongson64: Handle more memory types passed from firmware</title>

There are many types of revsered memory passed from firmware
that should be reserved in memblock, and UMA memory passed
from firmware that should be added to system memory for system
to use.

Also for memblock there is no need to align those space into page,
which actually cause problems.

Handle them properly to prevent memory corruption on some systems.

<title>MIPS: Loongson64: Enable DMA noncoherent support</title>

There are some Loongson64 systems come with broken coherent DMA
support, firmware will set a bit in boot_param and pass nocoherentio
in cmdline.

However nonconherent support was missed out when spin off Loongson-2EF
form Loongson64, and that boot_param change never made itself into
upstream.

Support DMA noncoherent properly to get those systems working.

Pull probes fixes from Masami Hiramatsu:

 - Documentation update: Add a note about argument and return value
   fetching is the best effort because it depends on the type.

 - objpool: Fix to make internal global variables static in
   test_objpool.c.

 - kprobes: Unify kprobes_exceptions_nofify() prototypes. There are the
   same prototypes in asm/kprobes.h for some architectures, but some of
   them are missing the prototype and it causes a warning. So move the
   prototype into linux/kprobes.h.

 - tracing: Fix to check the tracepoint event and return event at
   parsing stage. The tracepoint event doesn't support %return but if
   $retval exists, it will be converted to %return silently. This finds
   that case and rejects it.

 - tracing: Fix the order of the descriptions about the parameters of
   __kprobe_event_gen_cmd_start() to be consistent with the argument
   list of the function.
