[ Upstream commit cf02ce742f09188272bcc8b0e62d789eb671fc4c ]

When 32-bit MIPS huge page support is enabled, we halve the number of
pointers a PTE page holds, making its last half go to waste.
Correspondingly, we should halve the number of kmap entries, as we just
initialized only a single pte table for that in pagetable_init().

arch/mips/include/asm/mips-boards/launch.h needs an include guard
to prevent it from being #included more than once.

Since /dev/kmem has been removed, let's remove the xlate_dev_kmem_ptr()
leftovers.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "This is a large update by KVM standards, including AMD PSP (Platform
  Security Processor, aka "AMD Secure Technology") and ARM CoreSight
  (debug and trace) changes.

  ARM:

   - CoreSight: Add support for ETE and TRBE

   - Stage-2 isolation for the host kernel when running in protected
     mode

   - Guest SVE support when running in nVHE mode

   - Force W^X hypervisor mappings in nVHE mode

   - ITS save/restore for guests using direct injection with GICv4.1

   - nVHE panics now produce readable backtraces

   - Guest support for PTP using the ptp_kvm driver

   - Performance improvements in the S2 fault handler

  x86:

   - AMD PSP driver changes

   - Optimizations and cleanup of nested SVM code

   - AMD: Support for virtual SPEC_CTRL

   - Optimizations of the new MMU code: fast invalidation, zap under
     read lock, enable/disably dirty page logging under read lock

   - /dev/kvm API for AMD SEV live migration (guest API coming soon)

   - support SEV virtual machines sharing the same encryption context

   - support SGX in virtual machines

   - add a few more statistics

   - improved directed yield heuristics

   - Lots and lots of cleanups

  Generic:

   - Rework of MMU notifier interface, simplifying and optimizing the
     architecture-specific code

   - a handful of "Get rid of oprofile leftovers" patches

   - Some selftests improvements"

<title>MIPS: Avoid handcoded DIVU in `__div64_32' altogether</title>

<id>25ab14cbe9d1b66fda44c71a2db7582a31b6f5cd</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove the inline asm with a DIVU instruction from `__div64_32' and use
plain C code for the intended DIVMOD calculation instead.  GCC is smart
enough to know that both the quotient and the remainder are calculated
with single DIVU, so with ISAs up to R5 the same instruction is actually
produced with overall similar code.

For R6 compiled code will work, but separate DIVU and MODU instructions
will be produced, which are also interlocked, so scalar implementations
will likely not perform as well as older ISAs with their asynchronous MD
unit.  Likely still faster then the generic algorithm though.

This removes a compilation error for R6 however where the original DIVU
instruction is not supported anymore and the MDU accumulator registers
have been removed and consequently GCC complains as to a constraint it
cannot find a register for:

In file included from ./include/linux/math.h:5,
                 from ./include/linux/kernel.h:13,
                 from mm/page-writeback.c:15:
./include/linux/math64.h: In function 'div_u64_rem':
./arch/mips/include/asm/div64.h:76:17: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an 'asm'
   76 |                 __asm__("divu   $0, %z1, %z2"                           \
      |                 ^~~~~~~
./include/asm-generic/div64.h:245:25: note: in expansion of macro '__div64_32'
  245 |                 __rem = __div64_32(&amp;(n), __base);       \

   91 |         *remainder = do_div(dividend, divisor);
      |                      ^~~~~~

This has passed correctness verification with test_div64 and reduced the
module's average execution time down to 1.0404s from 1.0445s with R3400
@40MHz.  The module's MIPS I machine code has also shrunk by 12 bytes or
3 instructions.

<title>MIPS: Avoid DIVU in `__div64_32' is result would be zero</title>

We already check the high part of the divident against zero to avoid the
costly DIVU instruction in that case, needed to reduce the high part of
the divident, so we may well check against the divisor instead and set
the high part of the quotient to zero right away.  We need to treat the
high part the divident in that case though as the remainder that would
be calculated by the DIVU instruction we avoided.

This has passed correctness verification with test_div64 and reduced the
module's average execution time down to 1.0445s and 0.2619s from 1.0668s
and 0.2629s respectively for an R3400 CPU @40MHz and a 5Kc CPU @160MHz.

<title>MIPS: Reinstate platform `__div64_32' handler</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=c49f71f60754acbff37505e1d16ca796bf8a8140'/>
<id>c49f71f60754acbff37505e1d16ca796bf8a8140</id>
<content type='text'>
Our current MIPS platform `__div64_32' handler is inactive, because it
is incorrectly only enabled for 64-bit configurations, for which generic
`do_div' code does not call it anyway.

The handler is not suitable for being called from there though as it
only calculates 32 bits of the quotient under the assumption the 64-bit
divident has been suitably reduced.  Code for such reduction used to be
there, however it has been incorrectly removed with commit c21004cd5b4c
("MIPS: Rewrite &lt;asm/div64.h&gt; to work with gcc 4.4.0."), which should
have only updated an obsoleted constraint for an inline asm involving
$hi and $lo register outputs, while possibly wiring the original MIPS
variant of the `do_div' macro as `__div64_32' handler for the generic
`do_div' implementation

Correct the handler as follows then:

- Revert most of the commit referred, however retaining the current
  formatting, except for the final two instructions of the inline asm
  sequence, which the original commit missed.  Omit the original 64-bit
  parts though.

- Rename the original `do_div' macro to `__div64_32'.  Use the combined
  `x' constraint referring to the MD accumulator as a whole, replacing
  the original individual `h' and `l' constraints used for $hi and $lo
  registers respectively, of which `h' has been obsoleted with GCC 4.4.
  Update surrounding code accordingly.

  We have since removed support for GCC versions before 4.9, so no need
  for a special arrangement here; GCC has supported the `x' constraint
  since forever anyway, or at least going back to 1991.

- Rename the `__base' local variable in `__div64_32' to `__radix' to
  avoid a conflict with a local variable in `do_div'.

- Actually enable this code for 32-bit rather than 64-bit configurations
  by qualifying it with BITS_PER_LONG being 32 instead of 64.  Include
  &lt;asm/bitsperlong.h&gt; for this macro rather than &lt;linux/types.h&gt; as we
  don't need anything else.

- Finally include &lt;asm-generic/div64.h&gt; last rather than first.

This has passed correctness verification with test_div64 and reduced the
module's average execution time down to 1.0668s and 0.2629s from 2.1529s
and 0.5647s respectively for an R3400 CPU @40MHz and a 5Kc CPU @160MHz.
For a reference 64-bit `do_div' code where we have the DDIVU instruction
available to do the whole calculation right away averages at 0.0660s for
the latter CPU.
