commit 61f77eda9bbf0d2e922197ed2dcf88638a639ce5 upstream.

Currently we have many duplicates in definitions around
follow_huge_addr(), follow_huge_pmd(), and follow_huge_pud(), so this
patch tries to remove the m.  The basic idea is to put the default
implementation for these functions in mm/hugetlb.c as weak symbols
(regardless of CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_GENERAL_HUGETL B), and to implement
arch-specific code only when the arch needs it.

For follow_huge_addr(), only powerpc and ia64 have their own
implementation, and in all other architectures this function just returns
ERR_PTR(-EINVAL).  So this patch sets returning ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) as
default.

As for follow_huge_(pmd|pud)(), if (pmd|pud)_huge() is implemented to
always return 0 in your architecture (like in ia64 or sparc,) it's never
called (the callsite is optimized away) no matter how implemented it is.
So in such architectures, we don't need arch-specific implementation.

In some architecture (like mips, s390 and tile,) their current
arch-specific follow_huge_(pmd|pud)() are effectively identical with the
common code, so this patch lets these architecture use the common code.

One exception is metag, where pmd_huge() could return non-zero but it
expects follow_huge_pmd() to always return NULL.  This means that we need
arch-specific implementation which returns NULL.  This behavior looks
strange to me (because non-zero pmd_huge() implies that the architecture
supports PMD-based hugepage, so follow_huge_pmd() can/should return some
relevant value,) but that's beyond this cleanup patch, so let's keep it.

Justification of non-trivial changes:
- in s390, follow_huge_pmd() checks !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE at first, and this
  patch removes the check. This is OK because we can assume MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE
  is true when follow_huge_pmd() can be called (note that pmd_huge() has
  the same check and always returns 0 for !MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE.)
- in s390 and mips, we use HPAGE_MASK instead of PMD_MASK as done in common
  code. This patch forces these archs use PMD_MASK, but it's OK because
  they are identical in both archs.
  In s390, both of HPAGE_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT are 20.
  In mips, HPAGE_SHIFT is defined as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT - 3) and
  PMD_SHIFT is define as (PAGE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT + PTE_ORDER - 3), but
  PTE_ORDER is always 0, so these are identical.

<title>KVM: MIPS: Fix trace event to save PC directly</title>

commit b3cffac04eca9af46e1e23560a8ee22b1bd36d43 upstream.

Currently the guest exit trace event saves the VCPU pointer to the
structure, and the guest PC is retrieved by dereferencing it when the
event is printed rather than directly from the trace record. This isn't
safe as the printing may occur long afterwards, after the PC has changed
and potentially after the VCPU has been freed. Usually this results in
the same (wrong) PC being printed for multiple trace events. It also
isn't portable as userland has no way to access the VCPU data structure
when interpreting the trace record itself.

Lets save the actual PC in the structure so that the correct value is
accessible later.

<title>MIPS: HTW: Prevent accidental HTW start due to nested htw_{start, stop}</title>

commit ed4cbc81addbc076b016c5b979fd1a02f0897f0a upstream.

activate_mm() and switch_mm() call get_new_mmu_context() which in turn
can enable the HTW before the entryhi is changed with the new ASID.
Since the latter will enable the HTW in local_flush_tlb_all(),
then there is a small timing window where the HTW is running with the
new ASID but with an old pgd since the TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP_PGD
hasn't assigned a new one yet. In order to prevent that, we introduce a
simple htw counter to avoid starting HTW accidentally due to nested
htw_{start,stop}() sequences. Moreover, since various IPI calls can
enforce TLB flushing operations on a different core, such an operation
may interrupt another htw_{stop,start} in progress leading inconsistent
updates of the htw_seq variable. In order to avoid that, we disable the
interrupts whenever we update that variable.

commit ca5d25642e212f73492d332d95dc90ef46a0e8dc upstream.

Export the _save_msa asm function used by the lose_fpu(1) macro to GPL
modules so that KVM can make use of it when it is built as a module.

This fixes the following build error when CONFIG_KVM=m and
CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA=y due to commit f798217dfd03 ("KVM: MIPS: Don't leak
FPU/DSP to guest"):

ERROR: "_save_msa" [arch/mips/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!

commit fde3538a8a711aedf1173ecb2d45aed868f51c97 upstream.

Whenever we modify a page table entry, we need to ensure that the HTW
will not fetch a stable entry. And for that to happen we need to ensure
that HTW is stopped before we modify the said entry otherwise the HTW
may already be in the process of reading that entry and fetching the
old information. As a result of which, we replace the htw_reset() calls
with htw_{stop,start} in more appropriate places. This also removes the
remaining users of htw_reset() and as a result we drop that macro

commit 461d1597ffad7a826f8aaa63ab0727c37b632e34 upstream.

When we use htw_{start,stop}() outside of htw_reset(), we need
to ensure that c0 changes have been propagated properly before
we attempt to continue with subsequence memory operations.

commit 98a833c1fa4de0695830f77b2d13fd86693da298 upstream.

The "add" instruction is actually a macro in binutils and depending on
the size of the immediate it can expand to an "addi" instruction.
However, the "addi" instruction traps on overflows which is not
something we want on address calculation.

commit acac4108df6029c03195513ead7073bbb0cb9718 upstream.

The "addi" instruction will trap on overflows which is not something
we need in this code, so we replace that with "addiu".

commit 69e4e63ec816a7e22cc3aa14bc7ef4ac734d370c upstream.

The current code uses bits 0-6 of the sys_cpupll register to calculate
core clock speed.  However this is only valid on Au1300, on all earlier
models the hardware only uses bits 0-5 to generate core clock.

This fixes clock calculation on the MTX1 (Au1500), where bit 6 of cpupll
is set as well, which ultimately lead the code to calculate a bogus cpu
core clock and also uart base clock down the line.
