[ Upstream commit 00a134fc2bb4a5f8fada58cf7ff4259149691d64 ]

The pm-cps code has up until now used per-CPU variables indexed by core,
rather than CPU number, in order to share data amongst sibling CPUs (ie.
VPs/threads in a core). This works fine for single cluster systems, but
with multi-cluster systems a core number is no longer unique in the
system, leading to sharing between CPUs that are not actually siblings.

Avoid this issue by using per-CPU variables as they are more generally
used - ie. access them using CPU numbers rather than core numbers.
Sharing between siblings is then accomplished by:
 - Assigning the same pointer to entries for each sibling CPU for the
   nc_asm_enter &amp; ready_count variables, which allow this by virtue of
   being per-CPU pointers.

 - Indexing by the first CPU set in a CPUs cpu_sibling_map in the case
   of pm_barrier, for which we can't use the previous approach because
   the per-CPU variable is not a pointer.

[ Upstream commit e27fbe16af5cfc40639de4ced67d1a866a1953e9 ]

Some information that should be retrieved at runtime for the Coherence
Manager can be either absent or wrong. This patch allows checking if
some of this information is available from the device tree and updates
the internal variable accordingly.

For now, only the compatible string associated with the broken HCI is
being retrieved.

<title>MIPS: Export syscall stack arguments properly for remote use</title>

<id>ed975485a13d1f6080218aa71c29425ba2dfb332</id>
<content type='text'>
We have several places across the kernel where we want to access another
task's syscall arguments, such as ptrace(2), seccomp(2), etc., by making
a call to syscall_get_arguments().

This works for register arguments right away by accessing the task's
`regs' member of `struct pt_regs', however for stack arguments seen with
32-bit/o32 kernels things are more complicated.  Technically they ought
to be obtained from the user stack with calls to an access_remote_vm(),
but we have an easier way available already.

So as to be able to access syscall stack arguments as regular function
arguments following the MIPS calling convention we copy them over from
the user stack to the kernel stack in arch/mips/kernel/scall32-o32.S, in
handle_sys(), to the current stack frame's outgoing argument space at
the top of the stack, which is where the handler called expects to see
its incoming arguments.  This area is also pointed at by the `pt_regs'
pointer obtained by task_pt_regs().

Make the o32 stack argument space a proper member of `struct pt_regs'
then, by renaming the existing member from `pad0' to `args' and using
generated offsets to access the space.  No functional change though.

With the change in place the o32 kernel stack frame layout at the entry
to a syscall handler invoked by handle_sys() is therefore as follows:

$sp + 68 -&gt; |         ...         | &lt;- pt_regs.regs[9]
            +---------------------+
$sp + 64 -&gt; |         $t0         | &lt;- pt_regs.regs[8]

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory.  In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required.  To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`.  This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

<title>mips: vdso: prefer do_mmap() to mmap_region()</title>

Patch series "mm: update mips to use do_mmap(), make mmap_region()
internal".

Currently the only user of mmap_region() outside of the memory management
code is the MIPS VDSO implementation.

This uses mmap_region() to map a 'delay slot emulation page' at the top of
the stack which is read-only and executable.

This mapping requires that an already-acquired mmap write lock is utilised
and that uffd and populate logic is ignored. This rules out vm_mmap(),
however do_mmap() fits the bill.

Adapt this code to use do_mmap() and then once done, make mmap_region()
internal and userland testable, and avoid any other uses of mmap_region(),
which is absolutely and strictly an internal mm function which bypasses a
great number of checks and logic.


This patch (of 2):

mmap_region() is an internal memory management implementation detail that
is not intended to be used outside of the memory management subsystem.

Map the delay slot emulation page using do_mmap() which makes use of the
already-held mmap write lock and bypasses unneeded populate and
userfaultfd logic.

This should have the precise same behaviour as the existing logic.

<title>mips: fix shmctl/semctl/msgctl syscall for o32</title>

The commit 275f22148e87 ("ipc: rename old-style shmctl/semctl/msgctl
syscalls") switched various architectures to use sys_old_*ctl() with
ipc_parse_version, including mips n32/n64. However, for mips o32, commit
0d6040d46817 ("arch: add split IPC system calls where needed") added
separate IPC syscalls without properly using the old-style handlers.

This causes applications using uClibc-ng to fail with -EINVAL when
calling semctl/shmctl/msgctl with IPC_64 flag, as uClibc-ng uses the
syscall numbers from kernel headers to determine whether to use the IPC
multiplexer or split syscalls. In contrast, glibc is unaffected as it
uses a unified feature test macro __ASSUME_DIRECT_SYSVIPC_SYSCALLS
(disabled for mips-o32) to make this decision.

Fix this by switching the o32 ABI entries for semctl, shmctl and msgctl
to use the old-style handlers, matching the behavior of other
architectures and fixing compatibility with uClibc-ng.
