commit 233b2ca181f20674ecad11be90b00814911ce345 upstream.

AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for MIPS at all even though ARCH_DLINFO will contain one NEW_AUX_ENT for
the VDSO address.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which MIPS doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.

commit 1287533d3d95d5ad8b02773733044500b1be06bc upstream.

When building BPF code using "clang -target bpf -c", clang does not
define __linux__.

To build BPF IR decoders the include linux/lirc.h is needed which
includes linux/types.h. Currently this workaround is needed:

https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/commit/?id=dd3ff81f58c4e1e6f33765dc61ad33c48ae6bb07

This check might otherwise be useful to stop users from using a non-linux
compiler, but if you're doing that you are going to have a lot more
trouble anyway.

[ Upstream commit 17f6c83fb5ebf7db4fcc94a5be4c22d5a7bfe428 ]

For micro-mips, srlv inside POOL32A encoding space should use 0x50
sub-opcode, NOT 0x90.

Some early version ISA doc describes the encoding as 0x90 for both srlv and
srav, this looks to me was a typo. I checked Binutils libopcode
implementation which is using 0x50 for srlv and 0x90 for srav.

v1-&gt;v2:
  - Keep mm_srlv32_op sorted by value.

[ Upstream commit cea8cd498f4f1c30ea27e3664b3c671e495c4fce ]

When the immediate encoded in the instruction is accessed, it is sign
extended due to being a signed value being assigned to a signed integer.
The ISA specifies that this operation is an unsigned operation.
The sign extension leads us to incorrectly decode:

801e9c8e:       cbf1            sw      ra,68(sp)

As having an immediate of 1073741809.

Since the instruction format does not specify signed/unsigned, and this
is currently the only location to use this instuction format, change it
to an unsigned immediate.

<title>MIPS: Fix uapi include in exported asm/siginfo.h</title>

commit 987e5b834467c9251ca584febda65ef8f66351a9 upstream.

Since commit 8cb48fe169dd ("MIPS: Provide correct siginfo_t.si_stime"),
MIPS' uapi/asm/siginfo.h has included uapi/asm-generic/siginfo.h
directly before defining MIPS' struct siginfo, in order to get the
necessary definitions needed for the siginfo struct without the generic
copy_siginfo() hitting compiler errors due to struct siginfo not yet
being defined.

Now that the generic copy_siginfo() is moved out to linux/signal.h we
can safely include asm-generic/siginfo.h before defining the MIPS
specific struct siginfo, which avoids the uapi/ include as well as
breakage due to generic copy_siginfo() being defined before struct
siginfo.

Commit 85efde6f4e0d ("make exported headers use strict posix types")
changed the asm-generic siginfo.h to use the __kernel_* types, and
commit 3a471cbc081b ("remove __KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES") make the internal

been updated to match.

Switch to proper types now so that the exported asm/siginfo.h won't
produce quite so many compiler errors when included alone by a user

Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().

To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
(genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
compiled into the kernel.

On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
the mips_abi structure.

A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
function implementations which are added later.

[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Add more comments
- Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
that needs it.
- Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
- Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking.
- Simplify Makefile a little bit.
- checkpatch fixes
- Restrict VDSO support for binutils &lt; 2.25 for pre-R6
- Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64]

<title>mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage</title>

<id>b0f205c2a3082dd9081f9a94e50658c5fa906ff1</id>
<content type='text'>
The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created.  This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.

We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm-&gt;def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm-&gt;def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.

Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm-&gt;def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE.  This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT.  If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm-&gt;def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked.  This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.

munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags.  munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm-&gt;def_flags
field.
