<title>mips: Move initrd_start check after initrd address sanitisation.</title>

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.

<title>MIPS: Sink body of check_bugs_early() into its only call site</title>

If check_bugs_early() is not inlined, which a compiler is free to do
after commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly"), modpost would warn that check_bugs_early(), a non-init
function, refers to check_bugs64_early(), which is marked __init. This
would not result in any run time issues, as check_bugs_early() is only
called from setup_arch(), which is marked __init.

To avoid this potential warning, just sink the body of
check_bugs_early() into its single call site in setup_arch().

Pull bitmap updates from Yury Norov:

 - Fix unsigned comparison to -1 in CPUMAP_FILE_MAX_BYTES (Phil Auld)

 - cleanup nr_cpu_ids vs nr_cpumask_bits mess (me)

   This series cleans that mess and adds new config FORCE_NR_CPUS that
   allows to optimize cpumask subsystem if the number of CPUs is known
   at compile-time.

 - optimize find_bit() functions (me)

   Reworks find_bit() functions based on new FIND_{FIRST,NEXT}_BIT()
   macros.

 - add find_nth_bit() (me)

   Adds find_nth_bit(), which is ~70 times faster than bitcounting with
   for_each() loop:

	for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
		if (n-- == 0)
			return bit;

   Also adds bitmap_weight_and() to let people replace this pattern:

	tmp = bitmap_alloc(nbits);
	bitmap_and(tmp, map1, map2, nbits);
	weight = bitmap_weight(tmp, nbits);
	bitmap_free(tmp);

   with a single bitmap_weight_and() call.

 - repair cpumask_check() (me)

   After switching cpumask to use nr_cpu_ids, cpumask_check() started
   generating many false-positive warnings. This series fixes it.

 - Add for_each_cpu_andnot() and for_each_cpu_andnot() (Valentin
   Schneider)

   Extends the API with one more function and applies it in sched/core.

* tag 'bitmap-6.1-rc1' of https://github.com/norov/linux: (28 commits)
  sched/core: Merge cpumask_andnot()+for_each_cpu() into for_each_cpu_andnot()
  lib/test_cpumask: Add for_each_cpu_and(not) tests

<title>mips: allow firmware to pass RNG seed to kernel</title>

<content type='text'>
Nearly all other firmware environments have some way of passing a RNG
seed to initialize the RNG: DTB's rng-seed, EFI's RNG protocol, m68k's
bootinfo block, x86's setup_data, and so forth. This adds something
similar for MIPS, which will allow various firmware environments,
bootloaders, and hypervisors to pass an RNG seed to initialize the
kernel's RNG.

In the current code, the users usually need to make sure the value
of mem parameter is correct, but it is better to do some check to
avoid potential boot hangs.

This commit checks whether mem parameter is empty, if yes, return
-EINVAL before call memblock_remove() and memblock_add().

<title>memblock: make memblock_find_in_range method private</title>

There are a lot of uses of memblock_find_in_range() along with
memblock_reserve() from the times memblock allocation APIs did not exist.

memblock_find_in_range() is the very core of memblock allocations, so any
future changes to its internal behaviour would mandate updates of all the
users outside memblock.

Replace the calls to memblock_find_in_range() with an equivalent calls to
memblock_phys_alloc() and memblock_phys_alloc_range() and make
memblock_find_in_range() private method of memblock.

This simplifies the callers, ensures that (unlikely) errors in
memblock_reserve() are handled and improves maintainability of
memblock_find_in_range().
