commit 791412dafbbfd860e78983d45cf71db603a82f67 upstream.

Reading mips_cpc_base value from the DT allows each platform to
define it according to its needs. This is especially convenient
for MIPS_GENERIC kernel where this kind of information should be
determined in runtime.

Use mti,mips-cpc compatible string with just a reg property to
specify the register location for your platform.

<title>MIPS: BMIPS: Do not mask IPIs during suspend</title>

commit 06a3f0c9f2725f5d7c63c4203839373c9bd00c28 upstream.

Commit a3e6c1eff548 ("MIPS: IRQ: Fix disable_irq on CPU IRQs") fixes an
issue where disable_irq did not actually disable the irq. The bug caused
our IPIs to not be disabled, which actually is the correct behavior.

With the addition of commit a3e6c1eff548 ("MIPS: IRQ: Fix disable_irq on
CPU IRQs"), the IPIs were getting disabled going into suspend, thus
schedule_ipi() was not being called. This caused deadlocks where
schedulable task were not being scheduled and other cpus were waiting
for them to do something.

Add the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag so an irq_disable will not be called on the
IPIs during suspend.

<title>MIPS: Fix incorrect mem=X@Y handling</title>

commit 67a3ba25aa955198196f40b76b329b3ab9ad415a upstream.

Commit 73fbc1eba7ff ("MIPS: fix mem=X@Y commandline processing") added a
fix to ensure that the memory range between PHYS_OFFSET and low memory
address specified by mem= cmdline argument is not later processed by
free_all_bootmem.  This change was incorrect for systems where the
commandline specifies more than 1 mem argument, as it will cause all
memory between PHYS_OFFSET and each of the memory offsets to be marked
as reserved, which results in parts of the RAM marked as reserved
(Creator CI20's u-boot has a default commandline argument 'mem=256M@0x0
mem=768M@0x30000000').

Change the behaviour to ensure that only the range between PHYS_OFFSET
and the lowest start address of the memories is marked as protected.

This change also ensures that the range is marked protected even if it's
only defined through the devicetree and not only via commandline
arguments.

commit 8dbc1864b74f5dea5a3f7c30ca8fd358a675132f upstream.

Commit 17278a91e04f ("MIPS: CPS: Fix r1 .set mt assembler warning")
added .set MIPS_ISA_LEVEL_RAW to silence warnings about .set mt on r1,
however this can result in a MOVE being encoded as a 64-bit DADDU
instruction on certain version of binutils (e.g. 2.22), and reserved
instruction exceptions at runtime on 32-bit hardware.

Reduce the sizes of the push/pop sections to include only instructions
that are part of the MT ASE or which won't convert to 64-bit
instructions after .set mips64r2/mips64r6.

<title>MIPS: CM: Drop WARN_ON(vp != 0)</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 68923cdc2eb3 ("MIPS: CM: Add cluster &amp; block args to
mips_cm_lock_other()"), mips_smp_send_ipi_mask() has used
mips_cm_lock_other_cpu() with each CPU number, rather than
mips_cm_lock_other() with the first VPE in each core. Prior to r6,
multicore multithreaded systems such as dual-core dual-thread
interAptivs with CPU Idle enabled (e.g. MIPS Creator Ci40) results in
mips_cm_lock_other() repeatedly hitting WARN_ON(vp != 0).

There doesn't appear to be anything fundamentally wrong about passing a
non-zero VP/VPE number, even if it is a core's region that is locked
into the other region before r6, so remove that particular WARN_ON().

<title>MIPS: Validate PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl(2) requests against the ABI of the task</title>

<content type='text'>
Fix an API loophole introduced with commit 9791554b45a2 ("MIPS,prctl:
add PR_[GS]ET_FP_MODE prctl options for MIPS"), where the caller of
prctl(2) is incorrectly allowed to make a change to CP0.Status.FR or
CP0.Config5.FRE register bits even if CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT has
not been enabled, despite that an executable requesting the mode
requested via ELF file annotation would not be allowed to run in the
first place, or for n64 and n64 ABI tasks which do not have non-default
modes defined at all.  Add suitable checks to `mips_set_process_fp_mode'
and bail out if an invalid mode change has been requested for the ABI in
effect, even if the FPU hardware or emulation would otherwise allow it.

Always succeed however without taking any further action if the mode
requested is the same as one already in effect, regardless of whether
any mode change, should it be requested, would actually be allowed for
the task concerned.

`elf_fpreg_t' type in the PTRACE_SETREGSET request handler.

<title>MIPS: Fix an FCSR access API regression with NT_PRFPREG and MSA</title>

<id>be07a6a1188372b6d19a3307ec33211fc9c9439d</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix a commit 72b22bbad1e7 ("MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for
FP regset") public API regression, then activated by commit 1db1af84d6df
("MIPS: Basic MSA context switching support"), that caused the FCSR
register not to be read or written for CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA kernel
configurations (regardless of actual presence or absence of the MSA
feature in a given processor) with ptrace(2) PTRACE_GETREGSET and
PTRACE_SETREGSET requests nor recorded in core dumps.

This is because with !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations the whole of
`elf_fpregset_t' array is bulk-copied as it is, which includes the FCSR
in one half of the last, 33rd slot, whereas with CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA
configurations array elements are copied individually, and then only the
leading 32 FGR slots while the remaining slot is ignored.

Correct the code then such that only FGR slots are copied in the
respective !MSA and MSA helpers an then the FCSR slot is handled
separately in common code.  Use `ptrace_setfcr31' to update the FCSR
too, so that the read-only mask is respected.

Retrieving a correct value of FCSR is important in debugging not only
for the human to be able to get the right interpretation of the
situation, but for correct operation of GDB as well.  This is because
the condition code bits in FSCR are used by GDB to determine the
location to place a breakpoint at when single-stepping through an FPU
branch instruction.  If such a breakpoint is placed incorrectly (i.e.
with the condition reversed), then it will be missed, likely causing the
debuggee to run away from the control of GDB and consequently breaking
the process of investigation.

Fortunately GDB continues using the older PTRACE_GETFPREGS ptrace(2)
request which is unaffected, so the regression only really hits with
post-mortem debug sessions using a core dump file, in which case
execution, and consequently single-stepping through branches is not
possible.  Of course core files created by buggy kernels out there will
have the value of FCSR recorded clobbered, but such core files cannot be
corrected and the person using them simply will have to be aware that
the value of FCSR retrieved is not reliable.

Which also means we can likely get away without defining a replacement
API which would ensure a correct value of FSCR to be retrieved, or none
at all.

This is based on previous work by Alex Smith, extensively rewritten.

<title>MIPS: Consistently handle buffer counter with PTRACE_SETREGSET</title>

Update commit d614fd58a283 ("mips/ptrace: Preserve previous registers
for short regset write") bug and consistently consume all data supplied
to `fpr_set_msa' with the ptrace(2) PTRACE_SETREGSET request, such that
a zero data buffer counter is returned where insufficient data has been
given to fill a whole number of FP general registers.

In reality this is not going to happen, as the caller is supposed to
only supply data covering a whole number of registers and it is verified
in `ptrace_regset' and again asserted in `fpr_set', however structuring
code such that the presence of trailing partial FP general register data
causes `fpr_set_msa' to return with a non-zero data buffer counter makes
it appear that this trailing data will be used if there are subsequent
writes made to FP registers, which is going to be the case with the FCSR
once the missing write to that register has been fixed.
