commit 17f6c83fb5ebf7db4fcc94a5be4c22d5a7bfe428 upstream.

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.

<title>MIPS: Expand MIPS32 ASIDs to 64 bits</title>

<id>aeebd7582b278ea798ee4f50f14679da5273ed8e</id>
<content type='text'>
commit ff4dd232ec45a0e45ea69f28f069f2ab22b4908a upstream.

ASIDs have always been stored as unsigned longs, ie. 32 bits on MIPS32
kernels. This is problematic because it is feasible for the ASID version
to overflow &amp; wrap around to zero.

We currently attempt to handle this overflow by simply setting the ASID
version to 1, using asid_first_version(), but we make no attempt to
account for the fact that there may be mm_structs with stale ASIDs that
have versions which we now reuse due to the overflow &amp; wrap around.

Encountering this requires that:

  1) A struct mm_struct X is active on CPU A using ASID (V,n).

  2) That mm is not used on CPU A for the length of time that it takes
     for CPU A's asid_cache to overflow &amp; wrap around to the same
     version V that the mm had in step 1. During this time tasks using
     the mm could either be sleeping or only scheduled on other CPUs.

  3) Some other mm Y becomes active on CPU A and is allocated the same
     ASID (V,n).

  4) mm X now becomes active on CPU A again, and now incorrectly has the
     same ASID as mm Y.

Where struct mm_struct ASIDs are represented above in the format
(version, EntryHi.ASID), and on a typical MIPS32 system version will be
24 bits wide &amp; EntryHi.ASID will be 8 bits wide.

The length of time required in step 2 is highly dependent upon the CPU &amp;
workload, but for a hypothetical 2GHz CPU running a workload which
generates a new ASID every 10000 cycles this period is around 248 days.
Due to this long period of time &amp; the fact that tasks need to be
scheduled in just the right (or wrong, depending upon your inclination)
way, this is obviously a difficult bug to encounter but it's entirely
possible as evidenced by reports.

In order to fix this, simply extend ASIDs to 64 bits even on MIPS32
builds. This will extend the period of time required for the
hypothetical system above to encounter the problem from 28 days to
around 3 trillion years, which feels safely outside of the realms of
possibility.

The cost of this is slightly more generated code in some commonly
executed paths, but this is pretty minimal:

                         | Code Size Gain | Percentage
  -----------------------|----------------|-------------
    decstation_defconfig |           +270 | +0.00%
        32r2el_defconfig |           +652 | +0.01%
        32r6el_defconfig |          +1000 | +0.01%

I have been unable to measure any change in performance of the LMbench
lat_ctx or lat_proc tests resulting from the 64b ASIDs on either
32r2el_defconfig+interAptiv or 32r6el_defconfig+I6500 systems.

<title>MIPS: Change definition of cpu_relax() for Loongson-3</title>

<content type='text'>
commit a30718868915fbb991a9ae9e45594b059f28e9ae upstream.

Linux expects that if a CPU modifies a memory location, then that
modification will eventually become visible to other CPUs in the system.

Loongson 3 CPUs include a Store Fill Buffer (SFB) which sits between a
core &amp; its L1 data cache, queueing memory accesses &amp; allowing for faster
forwarding of data from pending stores to younger loads from the core.
Unfortunately the SFB prioritizes loads such that a continuous stream of
loads may cause a pending write to be buffered indefinitely. This is
problematic if we end up with 2 CPUs which each perform a store that the
other polls for - one or both CPUs may end up with their stores buffered
in the SFB, never reaching cache due to the continuous reads from the
poll loop. Such a deadlock condition has been observed whilst running
qspinlock code.

This patch changes the definition of cpu_relax() to smp_mb() for
Loongson-3, forcing a flush of the SFB on SMP systems which will cause
any pending writes to make it as far as the L1 caches where they will
become visible to other CPUs. If the kernel is not compiled for SMP
support, this will expand to a barrier() as before.

This workaround matches that currently implemented for ARM when
CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_754327=y, which was introduced by commit 534be1d5a2da
("ARM: 6194/1: change definition of cpu_relax() for ARM11MPCore").

Although the workaround is only required when the Loongson 3 SFB
functionality is enabled, and we only began explicitly enabling that
functionality in v4.7 with commit 1e820da3c9af ("MIPS: Loongson-3:
Introduce CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT"), existing or future firmware
may enable the SFB which means we may need the workaround backported to
earlier kernels too.

[paul.burton@mips.com:
  - Reword commit message &amp; comment.
  - Limit stable backport to v3.15+ where we support Loongson 3 CPUs.]

commit f5958b4cf4fc38ed4583ab83fb7c4cd1ab05f47b upstream.

Use the `unsigned long' rather than `__u32' type for DSP accumulator
registers, like with the regular MIPS multiply/divide accumulator and
general-purpose registers, as all are 64-bit in 64-bit implementations
and using a 32-bit data type leads to contents truncation on context
saving.

Update `arch_ptrace' and `compat_arch_ptrace' accordingly, removing
casts that are similarly not used with multiply/divide accumulator or
general-purpose register accesses.

commit 2bd7bc254ab1f45269db6dd7957d63b713817408 upstream.

This silences warnings like the following one when building with the
latest binutils:

arch/mips/kernel/genex.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/kernel/genex.S:438: Warning: the `msa' extension requires 64-bit FPRs

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Markos says binutils 2.25 and some 2.24 snapshots
are affected.]

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.

[bwh: Backported to 3.16: We don't support MIPS R6 but I have applied a
 commit that uses MIPS_ISA_LEVEL_RAW.  Add the R2 definitions only.]

<title>MIPS: Fix off-by-one in pci_resource_to_user()</title>

commit 38c0a74fe06da3be133cae3fb7bde6a9438e698b upstream.

The MIPS implementation of pci_resource_to_user() introduced in v3.12 by
commit 4c2924b725fb ("MIPS: PCI: Use pci_resource_to_user to map pci
memory space properly") incorrectly sets *end to the address of the
byte after the resource, rather than the last byte of the resource.

This results in userland seeing resources as a byte larger than they
actually are, for example a 32 byte BAR will be reported by a tool such
as lspci as being 33 bytes in size:

    Region 2: I/O ports at 1000 [disabled] [size=33]

Correct this by subtracting one from the calculated end address,
reporting the correct address to userland.
