[ Upstream commit 78cf0eb926cb1abeff2106bae67752e032fe5f3e ]

When update the latest mainline kernel with the following three configs,
the kernel hangs during startup:

(1) CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER=y
(2) CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER=y
(3) CONFIG_FTRACE_STARTUP_TEST=y

When update the latest mainline kernel with the above two configs (1)
and (2), the kernel starts normally, but it still hangs when execute
the following command:

echo "function_graph" &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer

Without CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER=y, the above two kinds of kernel hangs
disappeared, so it seems that CONFIG_PREEMPT_TRACER has some influences
with function_graph tracer at the first glance.

I use ejtag to find out the epc address is related with preempt_enable()
in the file arch/mips/lib/mips-atomic.c, because function tracing can
trace the preempt_{enable,disable} calls that are traced, replace them
with preempt_{enable,disable}_notrace to prevent function tracing from
going into an infinite loop, and then it can fix the kernel hang issue.

By the way, it seems that this commit is a complement and improvement of
commit f93a1a00f2bd ("MIPS: Fix crash that occurs when function tracing
is enabled").

<title>MIPS: lib: Provide MIPS64r6 __multi3() for GCC &lt; 7</title>

commit 690d9163bf4b8563a2682e619f938e6a0443947f upstream.

Some versions of GCC suboptimally generate calls to the __multi3()
intrinsic for MIPS64r6 builds, resulting in link failures due to the
missing function:

    LD      vmlinux.o
    MODPOST vmlinux.o
  kernel/bpf/verifier.o: In function `kmalloc_array':
  include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3'
  fs/select.o: In function `kmalloc_array':
  include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3'
  ...

We already have a workaround for this in which we provide the
instrinsic, but we do so selectively for GCC 7 only. Unfortunately the
issue occurs with older GCC versions too - it has been observed with
both GCC 5.4.0 &amp; GCC 6.4.0.

MIPSr6 support was introduced in GCC 5, so all major GCC versions prior
to GCC 8 are affected and we extend our workaround accordingly to all
MIPS64r6 builds using GCC versions older than GCC 8.

<title>MIPS: memset.S: Fix clobber of v1 in last_fixup</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c96eebf07692e53bf4dd5987510d8b550e793598 upstream.

The label .Llast_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault within the final
byte set loop of memset (on &lt; MIPSR6 architectures). For some reason, in
this fault handler, the v1 register is randomly set to a2 &amp; STORMASK.
This clobbers v1 for the calling function. This can be observed with the
following test code:

static int __init __attribute__((optimize("O0"))) test_clear_user(void)
{
  register int t asm("v1");
  char *test;
  int j, k;

  pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");
  test = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);

  for (j = 256; j &lt; 512; j++) {
    t = 0xa5a5a5a5;
    if ((k = clear_user(test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j)) != j - 256) {
        pr_err("clear_user (%px %d) returned %d\n", test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j, k);
    }
    if (t != 0xa5a5a5a5) {
       pr_err("v1 was clobbered to 0x%x!\n", t);
    }
  }

  return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);

Which demonstrates that v1 is indeed clobbered (MIPS64):

Testing clear_user
v1 was clobbered to 0x1!
v1 was clobbered to 0x2!
v1 was clobbered to 0x3!
v1 was clobbered to 0x4!
v1 was clobbered to 0x5!
v1 was clobbered to 0x6!
v1 was clobbered to 0x7!

Since the number of bytes that could not be set is already contained in
a2, the andi placing a value in v1 is not necessary and actively
harmful in clobbering v1.

<title>MIPS: memset.S: Fix return of __clear_user from Lpartial_fixup</title>

commit daf70d89f80c6e1772233da9e020114b1254e7e0 upstream.

The __clear_user function is defined to return the number of bytes that
could not be cleared. From the underlying memset / bzero implementation
this means setting register a2 to that number on return. Currently if a
page fault is triggered within the memset_partial block, the value
loaded into a2 on return is meaningless.

The label .Lpartial_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault. In order to work
out how many bytes failed to copy, the exception handler should find how
many bytes left in the partial block (andi a2, STORMASK), add that to
the partial block end address (a2), and subtract the faulting address to
get the remainder. Currently it incorrectly subtracts the partial block
start address (t1), which has additionally been clobbered to generate a
jump target in memset_partial. Fix this by adding the block end address
instead.

This issue was found with the following test code:
      int j, k;
      for (j = 0; j &lt; 512; j++) {
        if ((k = clear_user(NULL, j)) != j) {
           pr_err("clear_user (NULL %d) returned %d\n", j, k);
        }
      }
Which now passes on Creator Ci40 (MIPS32) and Cavium Octeon II (MIPS64).

commit 8a8158c85e1e774a44fbe81106fa41138580dfd1 upstream.

The MIPS kernel memset / bzero implementation includes a small_memset
branch which is used when the region to be set is smaller than a long (4
bytes on 32bit, 8 bytes on 64bit). The current small_memset
implementation uses a simple store byte loop to write the destination.
There are 2 issues with this implementation:

1. When EVA mode is active, user and kernel address spaces may overlap.
Currently the use of the sb instruction means kernel mode addressing is
always used and an intended write to userspace may actually overwrite
some critical kernel data.

2. If the write triggers a page fault, for example by calling
__clear_user(NULL, 2), instead of gracefully handling the fault, an OOPS
is triggered.

Fix these issues by replacing the sb instruction with the EX() macro,
which will emit EVA compatible instuctions as required. Additionally
implement a fault fixup for small_memset which sets a2 to the number of
bytes that could not be cleared (as defined by __clear_user).

<title>MIPS: Implement __multi3 for GCC7 MIPS64r6 builds</title>

commit ebabcf17bcd7ce968b1631ebe08236275698f39b upstream.

GCC7 is a bit too eager to generate suboptimal __multi3 calls (128bit
multiply with 128bit result) for MIPS64r6 builds, even in code which
doesn't explicitly use 128bit types, such as the following:

unsigned long func(unsigned long a, unsigned long b)
{
	return a &gt; (~0UL) / b;
}

Which GCC rearanges to:

return (unsigned __int128)a * (unsigned __int128)b &gt; 0xffffffffffffffff;

Therefore implement __multi3, but only for MIPS64r6 with GCC7 as under
normal circumstances we wouldn't expect any calls to __multi3 to be
generated from kernel code.

Since commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") the output from TLB dumps on MIPS has been
pretty unreadable due to the lack of KERN_CONT markers. Use pr_cont to
provide the appropriate markers &amp; restore the expected output.

Continuation is also used for the second line of each TLB entry printed
in dump_tlb.c even though it has a newline, since it is a continuation
of the interpretation of the same TLB entry. For example:

[   46.371884] Index:  0 pgmask=16kb va=77654000 asid=73 gid=00
        [ri=0 xi=0 pa=ffc18000 c=5 d=0 v=1 g=0] [ri=0 xi=0 pa=ffc1c000 c=5 d=0 v=1 g=0]
[   46.385380] Index: 12 pgmask=16kb va=004b4000 asid=73 gid=00
        [ri=0 xi=0 pa=00000000 c=0 d=0 v=0 g=0] [ri=0 xi=0 pa=ffb00000 c=5 d=1 v=1 g=0]

<title>MIPS: PCI: Introduce CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY</title>

Introduce 2 Kconfig symbols, CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_GENERIC &amp;
CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY, which indicate whether the system should be
built to for PCI drivers using the MIPS-specific struct pci_controller
API (hereafter "legacy" drivers) or more generic drivers using only
functionality provided by the PCI core (hereafter "generic" drivers).

The Kconfig entries are created such that platforms have to select
CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_GENERIC if they wish to use it - that is, the default
is CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY so that existing platforms need no
modification.

The functions declared in pci.h are rearranged with those provided only
by pci-legacy.c being guarded by an #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_DRIVERS_LEGACY to
ensure they are only used in configurations where they are implemented.

<title>MIPS: lib: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h</title>

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.

The compiler.h additions are for an implict presence of the
"notrace" which module.h brought in but export.h does not.

On certain MIPS32 devices, the ftrace tracer "function_graph" uses
__lshrdi3() during the capturing of trace data. ftrace then attempts to
trace __lshrdi3() which leads to infinite recursion and a stack overflow.
Fix this by marking __lshrdi3() as notrace. Mark the other compiler
intrinsics as notrace in case the compiler decides to use them in the
ftrace path.
