[ Upstream commit 0f5cc249ff73552d3bd864e62f85841dafaa107d ]

max_low_pfn variable is incorrectly adjusted if the kernel is built with
high memory support and the later is detected in a running system, so the
memory which actually can be directly mapped is getting into the highmem
zone. See the ZONE_NORMAL range on my MIPS32r5 system:

&gt; Zone ranges:
&gt;   DMA      [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000ffffff]
&gt;   Normal   [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x0000000007ffffff]
&gt;   HighMem  [mem 0x0000000008000000-0x000000020fffffff]

while the zones are supposed to look as follows:

&gt; Zone ranges:
&gt;   DMA      [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000ffffff]
&gt;   Normal   [mem 0x0000000001000000-0x000000001fffffff]
&gt;   HighMem  [mem 0x0000000020000000-0x000000020fffffff]

Even though the physical memory within the range [0x08000000;0x20000000]
belongs to MMIO on our system, we don't really want it to be considered as
high memory since on MIPS32 that range still can be directly mapped.

Note there might be other problems caused by the max_low_pfn variable
misconfiguration. For instance high_memory variable is initialize with
virtual address corresponding to the max_low_pfn PFN, and by design it
must define the upper bound on direct map memory, then end of the normal
zone. That in its turn potentially may cause problems in accessing the
memory by means of the /dev/mem and /dev/kmem devices.

Let's fix the discovered misconfiguration then. It turns out the commit
a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map") didn't introduce the
max_low_pfn adjustment quite correct. If the kernel is built with high
memory support and the system is equipped with high memory, the
max_low_pfn variable will need to be initialized with PFN of the most
upper directly reachable memory address so the zone normal would be
correctly setup. On MIPS that PFN corresponds to PFN_DOWN(HIGHMEM_START).
If the system is built with no high memory support and one is detected in
the running system, we'll just need to adjust the max_pfn variable to
discard the found high memory from the system and leave the max_low_pfn as
is, since the later will be less than PFN_DOWN(HIGHMEM_START) anyway by
design of the for_each_memblock() loop performed a bit early in the
bootmem_init() method.

PAGE_OFFSET is technically a virtual address so when checking the value of
initrd_start against it we should make sure that it has been sanitised from
the values passed by the bootloader. Without this change, even with a bootloader
that passes correct addresses for an initrd, we are failing to load it on MT7621
boards, for example.

Linux doesn't own the memory immediately after the kernel image. On Octeon
bootloader places a shared structure right close after the kernel _end,
refer to "struct cvmx_bootinfo *octeon_bootinfo" in cavium-octeon/setup.c.

If check_kernel_sections_mem() rounds the PFNs up, first memblock_alloc()
inside early_init_dt_alloc_memory_arch() &lt;= device_tree_init() returns
memory block overlapping with the above octeon_bootinfo structure, which
is being overwritten afterwards.

<title>MIPS: Fix unable to reserve memory for Crash kernel</title>

[ Upstream commit b1ce9716f3b5ed3b49badf1f003b9e34b7ead0f9 ]

Use 0 as the align parameter in memblock_find_in_range() is
incorrect when we reserve memory for Crash kernel.

The environment as follows:
[    0.000000] MIPS: machine is loongson,loongson64c-4core-rs780e
...
[    1.951016]     crashkernel=64M@128M

The warning as follows:
[    0.000000] Invalid memory region reserved for crash kernel

And the iomem as follows:
00200000-0effffff : System RAM
  04000000-0484009f : Kernel code
  048400a0-04ad7fff : Kernel data
  04b40000-05c4c6bf : Kernel bss
1a000000-1bffffff : pci@1a000000
...

The align parameter may be finally used by round_down() or round_up().
Like the following call tree:

mips-next: mm/memblock.c

memblock_find_in_range
└── memblock_find_in_range_node
    ├── __memblock_find_range_bottom_up
    │   └── round_up
    └── __memblock_find_range_top_down
        └── round_down
\#define round_up(x, y) ((((x)-1) | __round_mask(x, y))+1)
\#define round_down(x, y) ((x) &amp; ~__round_mask(x, y))
\#define __round_mask(x, y) ((__typeof__(x))((y)-1))

The round_down(or round_up)'s second parameter must be a power of 2.
If the second parameter is 0, it both will return 0.

Use 1 as the parameter to fix the bug and the iomem as follows:
00200000-0effffff : System RAM
  04000000-0484009f : Kernel code
  048400a0-04ad7fff : Kernel data
  04b40000-05c4c6bf : Kernel bss

[ Upstream commit 269b3a9ac538c4ae87f84be640b9fa89914a2489 ]

In the current code, if CONFIG_SWIOTLB is set, when failed to get IO TLB
memory from the low pages by plat_swiotlb_setup(), it may lead to the boot
process failed with kernel panic.

(1) On the Loongson and SiByte platform
arch/mips/loongson64/dma.c
arch/mips/sibyte/common/dma.c
void __init plat_swiotlb_setup(void)
{
	swiotlb_init(1);
}

kernel/dma/swiotlb.c
void  __init
swiotlb_init(int verbose)
{
...
	vstart = memblock_alloc_low(PAGE_ALIGN(bytes), PAGE_SIZE);
	if (vstart &amp;&amp; !swiotlb_init_with_tbl(vstart, io_tlb_nslabs, verbose))
		return;
...
	pr_warn("Cannot allocate buffer");
	no_iotlb_memory = true;
}

phys_addr_t swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
{
...
	if (no_iotlb_memory)
		panic("Can not allocate SWIOTLB buffer earlier ...");
...
}

(2) On the Cavium OCTEON platform
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/dma-octeon.c
void __init plat_swiotlb_setup(void)
{
...
	octeon_swiotlb = memblock_alloc_low(swiotlbsize, PAGE_SIZE);
	if (!octeon_swiotlb)
		panic("%s: Failed to allocate %zu bytes align=%lx\n",
		      __func__, swiotlbsize, PAGE_SIZE);
...
}

Because IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE is 64M, if the rest size of low memory is less
than 64M when call plat_swiotlb_setup(), we can easily reproduce the panic
case.

In order to reduce the possibility of kernel panic when failed to get IO
TLB memory under CONFIG_SWIOTLB, it is better to allocate low memory as
small as possible before plat_swiotlb_setup(), so make sparse_init() using
top-down allocation.

}

Because IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE is 64M, if the rest size of low memory is less
than 64M when call plat_swiotlb_setup(), we can easily reproduce the panic
case.

In order to reduce the possibility of kernel panic when failed to get IO
TLB memory under CONFIG_SWIOTLB, it is better to allocate low memory as
small as possible before plat_swiotlb_setup(), so make sparse_init() using
top-down allocation.

<title>MIPS: init: Prevent adding memory before PHYS_OFFSET</title>

On some SGI machines (IP28 and IP30) a small region of memory is mirrored
to pyhsical address 0 for exception vectors while rest of the memory
is reachable at a higher physical address. ARC PROM marks this
region as reserved, but with commit a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop
boot_mem_map") this chunk is used, when searching for start of ram,
which breaks at least IP28 and IP30 machines. To fix this
add_region_memory() checks for start address &lt; PHYS_OFFSET and ignores
these chunks.

<title>mips: avoid explicit UB in assignment of mips_io_port_base</title>

The code in question is modifying a variable declared const through
pointer manipulation.  Such code is explicitly undefined behavior, and
is the lone issue preventing malta_defconfig from booting when built
with Clang:

If an attempt is made to modify an object defined with a const-qualified
type through use of an lvalue with non-const-qualified type, the
behavior is undefined.

LLVM is removing such assignments. A simple fix is to not declare
variables const that you plan on modifying.  Limiting the scope would be
a better method of preventing unwanted writes to such a variable.

Further, the code in question mentions "compiler bugs" without any links
to bug reports, so it is difficult to know if the issue is resolved in
GCC. The patch was authored in 2006, which would have been GCC 4.0.3 or
4.1.1. The minimal supported version of GCC in the Linux kernel is
currently 4.6.

For what its worth, there was UB before the commit in question, it just
added a barrier and got lucky IRT codegen. I don't think there's any
actual compiler bugs related, just runtime bugs due to UB.

Commit a94e4f24ec83 ("MIPS: init: Drop boot_mem_map") introduced a
reference to a non-existant "end" field in struct memblock_region.
Replace it with a sum of the base &amp; size fields to fix builds with
CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y.
