commit 1d7ba0165d8206ac073f7ac3b14fc0836b66eae7 upstream.

From [1]
"GCC 10 (PR 91233) won't silently allow registers that are not
architecturally available to be present in the clobber list anymore,
resulting in build failure for mips*r6 targets in form of:
...
.../sysdep.h:146:2: error: the register ‘lo’ cannot be clobbered in ‘asm’ for the current target
  146 |  __asm__ volatile (      \
      |  ^~~~~~~

This is because base R6 ISA doesn't define hi and lo registers w/o DSP
extension. This patch provides the alternative clobber list for r6 targets
that won't include those registers."

Since kernel 5.4 and mips support for generic vDSO [2], the kernel fail to
build for mips r6 cpus with gcc 10 for the same reason as glibc.

<title>MIPS: kernel: Reserve exception base early to prevent corruption</title>

<content type='text'>
BMIPS is one of the few platforms that do change the exception base.
After commit 2dcb39645441 ("memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations
with kernel_end") we started seeing BMIPS boards fail to boot with the
built-in FDT being corrupted.

Before the cited commit, early allocations would be in the [kernel_end,
RAM_END] range, but after commit they would be within [RAM_START +
PAGE_SIZE, RAM_END].

The custom exception base handler that is installed by
bmips_ebase_setup() done for BMIPS5000 CPUs ends-up trampling on the
memory region allocated by unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() thus
corrupting the FDT used by the kernel.

To fix this, we need to perform an early reservation of the custom
exception space. Additional we reserve the first 4k (1k for R3k) for
either normal exception vector space (legacy CPUs) or special vectors
like cache exceptions.

Huge thanks to Serge for analysing and proposing a solution to this
issue.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "x86:

   - Support for userspace to emulate Xen hypercalls

   - Raise the maximum number of user memslots

   - Scalability improvements for the new MMU.

     Instead of the complex "fast page fault" logic that is used in
     mmu.c, tdp_mmu.c uses an rwlock so that page faults are concurrent,
     but the code that can run against page faults is limited. Right now
     only page faults take the lock for reading; in the future this will
     be extended to some cases of page table destruction. I hope to
     switch the default MMU around 5.12-rc3 (some testing was delayed
     due to Chinese New Year).

   - Cleanups for MAXPHYADDR checks

   - Use static calls for vendor-specific callbacks

   - On AMD, use VMLOAD/VMSAVE to save and restore host state

   - Stop using deprecated jump label APIs

   - Workaround for AMD erratum that made nested virtualization
     unreliable

   - Support for LBR emulation in the guest

   - Support for communicating bus lock vmexits to userspace

   - Add support for SEV attestation command

   - Miscellaneous cleanups

  PPC:

   - Support for second data watchpoint on POWER10

   - Remove some complex workarounds for buggy early versions of POWER9

   - Guest entry/exit fixes

  ARM64:

   - Make the nVHE EL2 object relocatable

   - Cleanups for concurrent translation faults hitting the same page

   - Support for the standard TRNG hypervisor call

   - A bunch of small PMU/Debug fixes

   - Simplification of the early init hypercall handling

  Non-KVM changes (with acks):

   - Detection of contended rwlocks (implemented only for qrwlocks,
     because KVM only needs it for x86)

   - Allow __DISABLE_EXPORTS from assembly code

   - Provide a saner follow_pfn replacements for modules"

   - X32 handling cleaned up

   - MIPS64 uses compat_binfmt_elf.c both for O32 and N32 now

   - Kconfig side of things regularized

  Eventually I hope to have compat_binfmt_elf.c killed, with both native
  and compat built from fs/binfmt_elf.c, with -DELF_BITS={64,32} passed
  by kbuild, but that's a separate story - not included here"

* 'work.elf-compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  get rid of COMPAT_ELF_EXEC_PAGESIZE
  compat_binfmt_elf: don't bother with undef of ELF_ARCH
  Kconfig: regularize selection of CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF
  mips compat: switch to compat_binfmt_elf.c
  mips: don't bother with ELF_CORE_EFLAGS
  mips compat: don't bother with ELF_ET_DYN_BASE
  mips: KVM_GUEST makes no sense for 64bit builds...
  mips: kill unused definitions in binfmt_elf[on]32.c
  mips binfmt_elf*32.c: use elfcore-compat.h
  x32: make X32, !IA32_EMULATION setups able to execute x32 binaries
  [amd64] clean PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID up properly
  elf_prstatus: collect the common part (everything before pr_reg) into a struct
  binfmt_elf: partially sanitize PRSTATUS_SIZE and SET_PR_FPVALID

This reverts commit 7c86ff9925cbc83e8a21f164a8fdc2767e03531e.

There are too many special cases for MIPS not covered by this patch.
In the end it might be better to implement single stepping in userland
than emulating it in the kernel.

protected_cache_op is only used for flushing user addresses, so
we only need to define protected_cache_op different in EVA mode and
be done with it.

<title>driver core: lift dma_default_coherent into common code</title>

Lift the dma_default_coherent variable from the mips architecture code
to the driver core.  This allows an architecture to sdefault all device
to be DMA coherent at run time, even if the kernel is build with support
for DMA noncoherent device.  By allowing device_initialize to set the
-&gt;dma_coherent field to this default the amount of arch hooks required
for this behavior can be greatly reduced.

Replace the global coherentio enum, and the hw_coherentio (fake) boolean
variables with a single boolean dma_default_coherent flag.
