commit 26927f76499849e095714452b8a4e09350f6a3b9 upstream.

If SERIAL_8250 is compiled as a module, the platform specific setup
for Loongson will be a module too, and it will not work very well.
At least on Loongson 3 it will trigger a build failure,
since loongson_sysconf is not exported to modules.

Fix by making the platform specific serial code always built-in.

commit 759496ba6407c6994d6a5ce3a5e74937d7816208 upstream.

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

commit 871341023c771ad233620b7a1fb3d9c7031c4e5c upstream.

Kernel faults are expected to handle OOM conditions gracefully (gup,
uaccess etc.), so they should never invoke the OOM killer.  Reserve this
for faults triggered in user context when it is the only option.

Most architectures already do this, fix up the remaining few.

commit 9e0f162a36914937a937358fcb45e0609ef2bfc4 upstream.

In commit 8393c524a25609 (MIPS: tlbex: Fix a missing statement for
HUGETLB), the TLB Refill handler was fixed so that non-OCTEON targets
would work properly with huge pages.  The change was incorrect in that
it broke the OCTEON case.

The problem is shown here:

    xxx0:	df7a0000 	ld	k0,0(k1)
    .
    .
    .
    xxxc0:	df610000 	ld	at,0(k1)
    xxxc4:	335a0ff0 	andi	k0,k0,0xff0
    xxxc8:	e825ffcd 	bbit1	at,0x5,0x0
    xxxcc:	003ad82d 	daddu	k1,at,k0
    .
    .
    .

In the non-octeon case there is a destructive test for the huge PTE
bit, and then at 0, $k0 is reloaded (that is what the 8393c524a25609
patch added).

In the octeon case, we modify k1 in the branch delay slot, but we
never need k0 again, so the new load is not needed, but since k1 is
modified, if we do the load, we load from a garbage location and then
get a nested TLB Refill, which is seen in userspace as either SIGBUS
or SIGSEGV (depending on the garbage).

The real fix is to only do this reloading if it is needed, and never
where it is harmful.

<title>MIPS: mcount: Adjust stack pointer for static trace in MIPS32</title>

commit 8a574cfa2652545eb95595d38ac2a0bb501af0ae upstream.

Every mcount() call in the MIPS 32-bit kernel is done as follows:

[...]
move at, ra
jal _mcount
addiu sp, sp, -8
[...]

but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer
is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401c797
(MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing).

Commit ad8c396936e3 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.)
fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely
for MIPS32.

<title>MIPS: ZBOOT: add missing &lt;linux/string.h&gt; include</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 29593fd5a8149462ed6fad0d522234facdaee6c8 upstream.

Commit dc4d7b37 (MIPS: ZBOOT: gather string functions into string.c)
moved the string related functions into a separate file, which might
cause the following build error, depending on the configuration:

| CC      arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o
| In file included from linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/decompress_unxz.c:234:0,
|                  from linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:67:
| linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c: In function 'fill_temp':
| linux/arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../lib/xz/xz_dec_stream.c:162:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'memcpy' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
| cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
| linux/scripts/Makefile.build:308: recipe for target 'arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o' failed
| make[6]: *** [arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o] Error 1
| linux/arch/mips/Makefile:308: recipe for target 'vmlinuz' failed

It does not fail with the standard configuration, as when
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is not enabled &lt;linux/string.h&gt; gets included in
include/linux/dynamic_debug.h. There might be other ways for it to
get indirectly included.

We can't add the include directly in xz_dec_stream.c as some
architectures might want to use a different version for the boot/
directory (see for example arch/x86/boot/string.h).

Caches in most systems are identical - but not always, so we can't avoid
the use of smp_call_function() by just looking at the boot CPU's data,
have to fiddle with preemption instead.

<title>MIPS: OCTEON: make get_system_type() thread-safe</title>

commit 608308682addfdc7b8e2aee88f0e028331d88e4d upstream.

get_system_type() is not thread-safe on OCTEON. It uses static data,
also more dangerous issue is that it's calling cvmx_fuse_read_byte()
every time without any synchronization. Currently it's possible to get
processes stuck looping forever in kernel simply by launching multiple
readers of /proc/cpuinfo:

	(while true; do cat /proc/cpuinfo &gt; /dev/null; done) &amp;
	(while true; do cat /proc/cpuinfo &gt; /dev/null; done) &amp;
	...

Fix by initializing the system type string only once during the early
boot.
