commit 56a46acf62af5ba44fca2f3f1c7c25a2d5385b19 upstream.

The WLAN LED on the Linksys WRT54GSv1 is active low, but the software
treats it as active high. Fix the inverted logic.

<title>MIPS: Fix an n32 core file generation regset support regression</title>

commit 547da673173de51f73887377eb275304775064ad upstream.

Fix a commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view.")
regression, then activated by commit 6a9c001b7ec3 ("MIPS: Switch ELF
core dumper to use regsets.)", that caused n32 processes to dump o32
core files by failing to set the EF_MIPS_ABI2 flag in the ELF core file
header's `e_flags' member:

$ file tls-core
tls-core: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, N32 MIPS64 rel2 version 1 (SYSV), [...]
$ ./tls-core
Aborted (core dumped)
$ file core
core: ELF 32-bit MSB core file MIPS, MIPS-I version 1 (SYSV), SVR4-style
$

Previously the flag was set as the result of a:

statement placed in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elfn32.c, however in the
regset case, i.e. when CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET is set, ELF_CORE_EFLAGS is
no longer used by `fill_note_info' in fs/binfmt_elf.c, and instead the
`-&gt;e_flags' member of the regset view chosen is.  We have the views
defined in arch/mips/kernel/ptrace.c, however only an o32 and an n64
one, and the latter is used for n32 as well.  Consequently an o32 core
file is incorrectly dumped from n32 processes (the ELF32 vs ELF64 class
is chosen elsewhere, and the 32-bit one is correctly selected for n32).

Correct the issue then by defining an n32 regset view and using it as
appropriate.  Issue discovered in GDB testing.

<title>MIPS: Netlogic: Exclude netlogic,xlp-pic code from XLR builds</title>

[ Upstream commit 9799270affc53414da96e77e454a5616b39cdab0 ]

Code in arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c which handles the XLP PIC fails
to build in XLR configurations due to cpu_is_xlp9xx not being defined,
leading to the following build failure:

    arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c: In function ‘xlp_of_pic_init’:
    arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c:298:2: error: implicit declaration
    of function ‘cpu_is_xlp9xx’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
      if (cpu_is_xlp9xx()) {
      ^

Although the code was conditional upon CONFIG_OF which is indirectly
selected by CONFIG_NLM_XLP_BOARD but not CONFIG_NLM_XLR_BOARD, the
failing XLR with CONFIG_OF configuration can be configured manually or
by randconfig.

Fix the build failure by making the affected XLP PIC code conditional
upon CONFIG_CPU_XLP which is used to guard the inclusion of
asm/netlogic/xlp-hal/xlp.h that provides the required cpu_is_xlp9xx
function.

[ Upstream commit e89ef66d7682f031f026eee6bba03c8c2248d2a9 ]

Memories managed through boot_mem_map are generally expected to define
non-crossing areas. However, if part of a larger memory block is marked
as reserved, it would still be added to bootmem allocator as an
available block and could end up being overwritten by the allocator.

Prevent this by explicitly marking the memory as reserved it if exists
in the range used by bootmem allocator.

[ Upstream commit 08889582b8aa0bbc01a1e5a0033b9f98d2e11caa ]

When building a kernel targeting a microMIPS ISA, recent GNU linkers
will fail the link if they cannot determine that the target of a branch
or jump is microMIPS code, with errors such as the following:

    mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .text+0x542c:
    Unsupported jump between ISA modes; consider recompiling with
    interlinking enabled.
    mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value

or:

    ./arch/mips/include/asm/uaccess.h:1017: warning: JALX to a
    non-word-aligned address

Placing anything other than an instruction at the start of a function
written in assembly appears to trigger such errors. In order to prepare
for allowing us to follow function prologue macros with an EXPORT_SYMBOL
invocation, end the prologue macros (LEAD, NESTED &amp; FEXPORT) with a
.insn directive. This ensures that the start of the function is marked
as code, which always makes sense for functions &amp; safely prevents us
from hitting the link errors described above.

<title>MIPS: Fix CM region target definitions</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 6a6cba1d945a7511cdfaf338526871195e420762 upstream.

The default CM target field in the GCR_BASE register is encoded with 0
meaning memory &amp; 1 being reserved. However the definitions we use for
those bits effectively get these two values backwards - likely because
they were copied from the definitions for the CM regions where the
target is encoded differently. This results in use setting up GCR_BASE
with the reserved target value by default, rather than targeting memory
as intended. Although we currently seem to get away with this it's not a
great idea to rely upon.

Fix this by changing our macros to match the documentated target values.

The incorrect encoding became used as of commit 9f98f3dd0c51 ("MIPS: Add
generic CM probe &amp; access code") in the Linux v3.15 cycle, and was
likely carried forwards from older but unused code introduced by
commit 39b8d5254246 ("[MIPS] Add support for MIPS CMP platform.") in the
v2.6.26 cycle.

The default CM target field in the GCR_BASE register is encoded with 0
meaning memory &amp; 1 being reserved. However the definitions we use for
those bits effectively get these two values backwards - likely because
they were copied from the definitions for the CM regions where the
target is encoded differently. This results in use setting up GCR_BASE
with the reserved target value by default, rather than targeting memory
as intended. Although we currently seem to get away with this it's not a
great idea to rely upon.

Fix this by changing our macros to match the documentated target values.

The incorrect encoding became used as of commit 9f98f3dd0c51 ("MIPS: Add
generic CM probe &amp; access code") in the Linux v3.15 cycle, and was
likely carried forwards from older but unused code introduced by
commit 39b8d5254246 ("[MIPS] Add support for MIPS CMP platform.") in the
v2.6.26 cycle.

commit 77238e76b9156d28d86c1e31c00ed2960df0e4de upstream.

It seems that this is a typo error and the proper bit masking is
"RT | RS" instead of "RS | RS".

This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>MIPS: Ensure bss section ends on a long-aligned address</title>

[ Upstream commit 3f00f4d8f083bc61005d0a1ef592b149f5c88bbd ]

When clearing the .bss section in kernel_entry we do so using LONG_S
instructions, and branch whilst the current write address doesn't equal
the end of the .bss section minus the size of a long integer. The .bss
section always begins at a long-aligned address and we always increment
the write pointer by the size of a long integer - we therefore rely upon
the .bss section ending at a long-aligned address. If this is not the
case then the long-aligned write address can never be equal to the
non-long-aligned end address &amp; we will continue to increment past the
end of the .bss section, attempting to zero the rest of memory.

Despite this requirement that .bss end at a long-aligned address we pass
0 as the end alignment requirement to the BSS_SECTION macro and thus
don't guarantee any particular alignment, allowing us to hit the error
condition described above.

Fix this by instead passing 8 bytes as the end alignment argument to
the BSS_SECTION macro, ensuring that the end of the .bss section is
always at least long-aligned.

commit a6e2f029ae34f41adb6ae3812c32c5d326e1abd2 upstream.

Added the x86 implementation of word-at-a-time to the
generic version, which previously only supported big-endian.

Omitted the x86-specific load_unaligned_zeropad(), which in
any case is also not present for the existing BE-only
implementation of a word-at-a-time, and is only used under
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS.

Added as a "generic-y" to the Kbuilds of all architectures
that didn't previously have it.
