<title>MIPS: lib: memcpy: Restore NOP on delay slot before returning to caller</title>

Commit cf62a8b8134dd3 ("MIPS: lib: memcpy: Use macro to build the
copy_user code") switched to a macro in order to build the memcpy
symbols in preparation for the EVA support. However, this commit
also removed the NOP instruction after the 'jr ra' when returning
back to the caller. This had no visible side-effects since the next
instruction was a load to the t0 register which was already in the
clobbered list, but it may have undesired effects in the future
if some other code is introduced in between the .Ldone and
the .Ll_exc_copy labels.

<title>MIPS: R3000: Fix debug output for Virtual page number</title>

Virtual page number of R3000 in entryhi is 20 bit from MSB. But in
dump_tlb(), the bit mask to read it from entryhi is 19 bit (0xffffe000).
The patch fixes that to 0xfffff000.

We were returning maxlen like the userland strnlen if no '\0' character
was encountered while the kernel version is expected to return a value
larger than maxlen.  Fixed to return maxlen + 1.

<content type='text'>
This small update to the previous fix to __delay removes a conditional
around the ABI-dependent subtraction operation within an inline asm in
favor to the standard &lt;asm/asm.h&gt; LONG_SUBU macro.  No change in code
produced.

<title>MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC support</title>

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell &lt;kevink@paralogos.com&gt; is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.

Based on Markos Chandras &lt;Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com&gt; patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

60724ca59eda766a30be57aec6b49bc3e2bead91 [MIPS: IP checksums: Remove
unncessary .set pseudos] that introduced warnings with the
CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS option set:

The warnings are benign and good code is produced regardless because no
macros that'd use the assembler's temporary register are involved, however
the `.set noat' directives removed by the commit referred are crucial to
guarantee this is still going to be the case after any changes in the
future.  Therefore they need to be brought back to place which this
change does.

<content type='text'>
With CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS enabled __delay assembles with a macro in a
branch delay slot:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:18: Warning: Macro instruction expanded into multiple
instructions in a branch delay slot

and broken code results:

0000000000000000 &lt;__delay&gt;:
   0:	1480ffff 	bnez	a0,0 &lt;__delay&gt;
   4:	24010001 	li	at,1
   8:	0081202f 	dsubu	a0,a0,at
   c:	03e00008 	jr	ra
  10:	00000000 	nop
  14:	00000000 	nop

Consequently the function loops indefinitely, showing up prominently as a
hang in the delay loop calibration at bootstrap.

This change corrects the problem by forcing the immediate 1 into a
register while keeping code produced identical where CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS
is disabled.
