[ Upstream commit 5e65c52ec716af6e8f51dacdaeb4a4d872249af1 ]

Loongson64 processors have a writecombine issue that maybe failed to
write back framebuffer used with ATI Radeon or AMD GPU at times, after
commit 8a08e50cee66 ("drm: Permit video-buffers writecombine mapping
for MIPS"), there exists some errors such as blurred screen and lockup,
and so on.

[   60.958721] radeon 0000:03:00.0: ring 0 stalled for more than 10079msec
[   60.965315] radeon 0000:03:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000112 last fence id 0x000000000000011d on ring 0)
[   60.976525] radeon 0000:03:00.0: ring 3 stalled for more than 10086msec
[   60.983156] radeon 0000:03:00.0: GPU lockup (current fence id 0x0000000000000374 last fence id 0x00000000000003a8 on ring 3)

As discussed earlier [1], it might be better to disable writecombine
on the CPU detection side because the root cause is unknown now.

Actually, this patch is a temporary solution to just make it work well,
it is not a proper and final solution, I hope someone will have a better
solution to fix this issue in the future.

<title>MIPS: kernel: Reserve exception base early to prevent corruption</title>

[ Upstream commit bd67b711bfaa02cf19e88aa2d9edae5c1c1d2739 ]

BMIPS is one of the few platforms that do change the exception base.
After commit 2dcb39645441 ("memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations
with kernel_end") we started seeing BMIPS boards fail to boot with the
built-in FDT being corrupted.

Before the cited commit, early allocations would be in the [kernel_end,
RAM_END] range, but after commit they would be within [RAM_START +
PAGE_SIZE, RAM_END].

The custom exception base handler that is installed by
bmips_ebase_setup() done for BMIPS5000 CPUs ends-up trampling on the
memory region allocated by unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() thus
corrupting the FDT used by the kernel.

To fix this, we need to perform an early reservation of the custom
exception space. Additional we reserve the first 4k (1k for R3k) for
either normal exception vector space (legacy CPUs) or special vectors
like cache exceptions.

Huge thanks to Serge for analysing and proposing a solution to this
issue.

commit a5360958a3cd1d876aae1f504ae014658513e1af upstream.

The JZ4760 has the HPTLB as well, but has a XBurst CPU with a D0 CPUID.

Disable the HPTLB for all XBurst CPUs with a D0 CPUID. In the case where
there is no HPTLB (e.g. for older SoCs), this won't have any side
effect.

Commit 866b6a89c6d1 ("MIPS: Add DWARF unwinding to assembly") added
-fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables to KBUILD_CFLAGS to prevent compiler
from emitting .eh_frame symbols.
However, as MIPS heavily uses CFI, that's not enough. Use the
approach taken for x86 (as it also uses CFI) and explicitly put CFI
symbols into the .debug_frame section (except for VDSO).
This allows us to drop .eh_frame from DISCARDS as it's no longer
being generated.

<content type='text'>
commit 8ac7c87acdcac156670f9920c8acbd84308ff4b1 upstream.

MIPS uses its own declaration of rwdata, and thus it should be kept
in sync with the asm-generic one. Currently PAGE_ALIGNED_DATA() is
missing from the linker script, which emits the following ld
warnings:

mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section
`.data..page_aligned' from `arch/mips/kernel/vdso.o' being placed
in section `.data..page_aligned'
mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: warning: orphan section
`.data..page_aligned' from `arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o' being placed
in section `.data..page_aligned'

Add the necessary declaration, so the mentioned structures will be
placed in vmlinux as intended:

ffffffff80630580 D __end_once
ffffffff80630580 D __start___dyndbg
ffffffff80630580 D __start_once

LLVM-built Linux triggered a boot hangup with KASLR enabled.

arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c:get_random_boot() uses linux_banner,
which is a string constant, as a random seed, but accesses it
as an array of unsigned long (in rotate_xor()).
When the address of linux_banner is not aligned to sizeof(long),
such access emits unaligned access exception and hangs the kernel.

Use PTR_ALIGN() to align input address to sizeof(long) and also
align down the input length to prevent possible access-beyond-end.

Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012
had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c)
coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the
usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed.

As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels
have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of
all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git).

Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the
regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports.  The minimal
solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing
those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c

Commit b0a0c2615f6f ("epoll: wire up syscall epoll_pwait2") wired up
the 64 bit syscall instead of the compat variant in a couple of places.
