MIPS re-enables interrupts on its idle routine and performs
a TIF_NEED_RESCHED check afterwards before putting the CPU to sleep.

The IRQs firing between the check and the 'wait' instruction may set the
TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag. In order to deal with this possible race, IRQs
interrupting __r4k_wait() rollback their return address to the
beginning of __r4k_wait() so that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is checked
again before going back to sleep.

However idle IRQs can also queue timers that may require a tick
reprogramming through a new generic idle loop iteration but those timers
would go unnoticed here because __r4k_wait() only checks
TIF_NEED_RESCHED. It doesn't check for pending timers.

Fix this with fast-forwarding idle IRQs return address to the end of the
idle routine instead of the beginning, so that the generic idle loop
handles both TIF_NEED_RESCHED and pending timers.

CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS has been removed along with the nop instructions.
There, NOPs are 2 byte in size, so change the code with 3 _ssnop which are
always 4 byte and remove the ifdef. Added ehb to make sure the hazard
is always cleared.

Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Consolidate the VDSO storage

   The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
   specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
   effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.

   There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
   and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
   integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
   duplicated code for managing the mappings.

   Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
   infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
   specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
   provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
   functionalities without conflict and interaction.

 - Rework the timekeeping data storage

   The current implementation is designed for exposing system
   timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
   designed.

   PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
   requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
   to system timekeeping.

   Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
   allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
   both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Mount notifications

   The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
   mount topology changes outside of /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/mountinfo. A mount
   namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
   fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.

   Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
   generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
   mount id of the mount.

   The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
   information about the mount using the received unique mount id.

   This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
   changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/mountinfo
   in userspace.

 - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
   api

 - Support detached mounts in overlayfs

   Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
   descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
   userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
   open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
   attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.

   This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
   Allow them to directly use detached mounts.

 - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount

   Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
   attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
   allows to read the idmapping from the mount.

 - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped

   So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
   from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
   implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
   pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
   allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
   way.

   The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
   mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
   for userspace.

 - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options

   Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
   through statmount().

 - Allow superblock owners to force unmount

Pull vfs mount updates from Christian Brauner:

 - Mount notifications

   The day has come where we finally provide a new api to listen for
   mount topology changes outside of /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/mountinfo. A mount
   namespace file descriptor can be supplied and registered with
   fanotify to listen for mount topology changes.

   Currently notifications for mount, umount and moving mounts are
   generated. The generated notification record contains the unique
   mount id of the mount.

   The listmount() and statmount() api can be used to query detailed
   information about the mount using the received unique mount id.

   This allows userspace to figure out exactly how the mount topology
   changed without having to generating diffs of /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/mountinfo
   in userspace.

 - Support O_PATH file descriptors with FSCONFIG_SET_FD in the new mount
   api

 - Support detached mounts in overlayfs

   Since last cycle we support specifying overlayfs layers via file
   descriptors. However, we don't allow detached mounts which means
   userspace cannot user file descriptors received via
   open_tree(OPEN_TREE_CLONE) and fsmount() directly. They have to
   attach them to a mount namespace via move_mount() first.

   This is cumbersome and means they have to undo mounts via umount().
   Allow them to directly use detached mounts.

 - Allow to retrieve idmappings with statmount

   Currently it isn't possible to figure out what idmapping has been
   attached to an idmapped mount. Add an extension to statmount() which
   allows to read the idmapping from the mount.

 - Allow creating idmapped mounts from mounts that are already idmapped

   So far it isn't possible to allow the creation of idmapped mounts
   from already idmapped mounts as this has significant lifetime
   implications. Make the creation of idmapped mounts atomic by allow to
   pass struct mount_attr together with the open_tree_attr() system call
   allowing to solve these issues without complicating VFS lookup in any
   way.

   The system call has in general the benefit that creating a detached
   mount and applying mount attributes to it becomes an atomic operation
   for userspace.

 - Add a way to query statmount() for supported options

   Allow userspace to query which mount information can be retrieved
   through statmount().

 - Allow superblock owners to force unmount

Address the issue of cevt-ds1287.c not including the ds1287.h header
file.

Fix follow errors with gcc-14 when -Werror:

Some CM3.5 devices incorrectly report that hardware cache
initialization has completed, and also claim to support hardware cache
initialization when they don't actually do so. This commit fixes this
issue by retrieving the correct information from the device tree and
allowing the system to bypass the hardware cache initialization
step. Instead, it relies on manual operation. As a result, multi-user
support is now possible for these CPUs.
