Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
 "Here's the main MIPS pull for Linux 4.21. Core architecture changes
  include:

   - Syscall tables &amp; definitions for unistd.h are now generated by
     scripts, providing greater consistency with other architectures &amp;
     making it easier to add new syscalls.

   - Support for building kernels with no floating point support, upon
     which any userland attempting to use floating point instructions
     will receive a SIGILL. Mostly useful to shrink the kernel &amp; as
     preparation for nanoMIPS support which does not yet include FP.

   - MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) vector register context is now exposed
     by ptrace via a new NT_MIPS_MSA regset.

   - ASIDs are now stored as 64b values even for MIPS32 kernels,
     expanding the ASID version field sufficiently that we don't need to
     worry about overflow &amp; avoiding rare issues with reused ASIDs that
     have been observed in the wild.

   - The branch delay slot "emulation" page is now mapped without write
     permission for the user, preventing its use as a nice location for
     attacks to execute malicious code from.

   - Support for ioremap_prot(), primarily to allow gdb or other ptrace
     users the ability to view their tracee's memory using the same
     cache coherency attribute.

   - Optimizations to more cpu_has_* macros, allowing more to be
     compile-time constant where possible.

   - Enable building the whole kernel with UBSAN instrumentation.

   - Enable building the kernel with link-time dead code &amp; data
     elimination.

  Platform specific changes include:

   - The Boston board gains a workaround for DMA prefetching issues with
     the EG20T Platform Controller Hub that it uses.

   - Cleanups to Cavium Octeon code removing about 20k lines of
     redundant code, mostly unused or duplicate register definitions in
     headers.

   - defconfig updates for the DECstation machines, including new
     defconfigs for r4k &amp; 64b machines.

   - Further work on Loongson 3 support.

   - DMA fixes for SiByte machines"

<content type='text'>
After switched to NO_BOOTMEM, there are several boot failures. Some of
them have been fixed and some of them haven't. I find that many of them
are because of memory allocations are top-down, while the old behavior
is bottom-up. This patch let early memblock_alloc*() allocate memories
bottom-up to avoid some potential problems.

When CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT=n we don't support floating point, so we'll
never need to enable the FPU. Avoid doing so on a Co-Processor Unusable
exception (do_cpu), and remove the Floating Point Exception handler
(do_fpe) which should never be executed when the FPU is disabled.

<title>MIPS: Ensure emulated FP sets PF_USED_MATH</title>

<id>1975ed43ce67542befed188f6aed6a82cfaffd0b</id>
<content type='text'>
Emulated floating point instructions don't ensure that the PF_USED_MATH
flag is set for the task. This results in a couple of inconsistencies:

  - ptrace will return the default initial state of FP registers rather
    than the values actually stored in struct thread_struct, hiding
    state that has been updated by emulated floating point instructions.

  - If a task migrates to a CPU with an FPU after having emulated
    floating point instructions then its floating point register state
    will be reset to the default ~0 bit pattern, losing state from the
    emulated instructions.

Fix this by calling init_fp_ctx() from fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() to
consistently initialize FP state if it was previously uninitialized,
setting the PF_USED_MATH flag in the process.

All callers of fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() either call lose_fpu(1) before
it in order to save any live FPU registers to struct thread_struct, or
in the case of do_cpu() already know that the task does not own an FPU
so lose_fpu(1) would be a no-op. Since we know that saving FP context
will be unnecessary in the case where FP context was just initialized we
move this call into fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() too, providing
consistency &amp; avoiding needless duplication.

Calls to own_fpu(1) are common after return from
fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() too, but this would not be a no-op in the
do_cpu() case so these are left as-is. A potential future improvement
could be to have fpu_emulator_cop1Handler() restore FPU state
automatically only if it saved it, though this may not be optimal if
some callers are better off without their current calls to own_fpu(1).
One potential example of this could be mipsr2_decoder() which as-is
could end up saving &amp; restoring FP context repeatedly &amp; unnecessarily if
emulating multiple FP instructions.

<title>MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization</title>

<id>cc97ab235f3fe32401ca198cebe6f42642e95770</id>
<content type='text'>
MIPS has up until now had 3 different ways for a task's floating point
context to be initialized:

  - If the task's first use of FP involves it gaining ownership of an
    FPU then _init_fpu() is used to initialize the FPU's registers such
    that they all contain ~0, and the FPU registers will be stored to
    struct thread_info later (eg. when context switching).

  - If the task first uses FP on a CPU without an associated FPU then
    fpu_emulator_init_fpu() initializes the task's floating point
    register state in struct thread_info such that all floating point
    register contain the bit pattern 0x7ff800007ff80000, different to
    the _init_fpu() behaviour.

  - If a task's floating point context is first accessed via ptrace then
    init_fp_ctx() initializes the floating point register state in
    struct thread_info to ~0, giving equivalent state to _init_fpu().

The _init_fpu() path has 2 separate implementations - one for r2k/r3k
style systems &amp; one for r4k style systems. The _init_fpu() path also
requires that we be careful to clear &amp; restore the value of the
Config5.FRE bit on modern systems in order to avoid inadvertently
triggering floating point exceptions.

None of this code is in a performance critical hot path - it runs only
the first time a task uses floating point. As such it doesn't seem to
warrant the complications of maintaining the _init_fpu() path.

Remove _init_fpu() &amp; fpu_emulator_init_fpu(), instead using
init_fp_ctx() consistently to initialize floating point register state
in struct thread_info. Upon a task's first use of floating point this
will typically mean that we initialize state in memory &amp; then load it
into FPU registers using _restore_fp() just as we would on a context
switch. For other paths such as __compute_return_epc_for_insn() or
mipsr2_decoder() this results in a significant simplification of the
work to be done.

Move remaining definitions and declarations from include/linux/bootmem.h
into include/linux/memblock.h and remove the redundant header.

The includes were replaced with the semantic patch below and then
semi-automated removal of duplicated '#include &lt;linux/memblock.h&gt;

The conversion is done using the following semantic patch:

<title>mips: switch to NO_BOOTMEM</title>

MIPS already has memblock support and all the memory is already registered
with it.

This patch replaces bootmem memory reservations with memblock ones and
removes the bootmem initialization.

Since memblock allocates memory in top-down mode, we ensure that memblock
limit is max_low_pfn to prevent allocations from the high memory.

To have the exceptions base in the lower 512M of the physical memory, its
allocation in arch/mips/kernel/traps.c::traps_init() is using bottom-up
mode.

Clean up instances of casts to the type that a value already has, since
they are effectively no-ops and only serve to complicate the code.

This is the result of the following semantic patch:

  @identitycast@
  type T;
  T *A;
