Some GCC versions (e.g. 4.8.3) can incorrectly inline a function with
MIPS32 instructions into another function with MIPS16 code [1], causing
the assembler to genereate incorrect binary code or fail right away
complaining about unrecognized opcode.

In the case of __arch_swab{16,32}, when inlined by the compiler with
flags `-mips32r2 -mips16 -Os', the assembler can fail with the following
error.

    {standard input}:79: Error: unrecognized opcode `wsbh $2,$2'

For performance concerns and to workaround the issue already existing in
older compilers, just ignore these 2 functions when compiling with
mips16 enabled.

 [1] Inlining nomips16 function into mips16 function can result in
     undefined builtins, https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55777

This reverts commit e0d8b2ec532852d4b5aabcec3e7611848c32237d.

For at least GCC 4.8.3, adding nomips16 function attribute still cannot
prevent it from being inlined in mips16 context.  So revert it first in
preparation for a better workaround.

<title>Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile</title>

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf.

Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on
the pull request, which is why it's going in only now.

The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure
than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty
interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems.

strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an
overlong result.  To make matters worse, it pads a short result with
zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers.

strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking
the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value
which returns the original length of the source string.  Which means
that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and
you have to trust the source to be properly terminated.  It also makes
error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily
subtle.

strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination
(but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and
making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG.  It also
doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for
untrusted source data too.

So why did I waffle about this for so long?

Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing
these interminable series of trivial conversion patches.

And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the
conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse.
Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention
span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches
of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested.

So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface.
But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches.  Use this in
places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things
that aren't actually known to be broken.

* 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile:
  tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy
  string: provide strscpy()
  Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures

The MIPS syscall handler code used to return -ENOSYS on invalid
syscalls. Whilst this is expected, it caused problems for seccomp
filters because the said filters never had the change to run since
the code returned -ENOSYS before triggering them. This caused
problems on the chromium testsuite for filters looking for invalid
syscalls. This has now changed and the seccomp filters are always
run even if the syscall is invalid. We return -ENOSYS once we
return from the seccomp filters. Moreover, similar codepaths have
been merged in the process which simplifies somewhat the overall
syscall code.

During development it was found that a number of builds would panic
during the kernel init process, more specifically in 'delayed_fput()'.
The panic showed the kernel trying to access a memory address of
'0xb7fdc00' while traversing the 'delayed_fput_list' structure.
Comparing this memory address to the value of the pointer used on
builds that did not panic confirmed that the pointer on crashing
builds must have been corrupted at some stage earlier in the init
process.

By traversing the list earlier and earlier in the code it was found
that 'plat_mem_setup()' was responsible for corrupting the list.
Specifically the line:

    memory = cvmx_bootmem_phy_alloc(mem_alloc_size,
			__pa_symbol(&amp;__init_end), -1,
			0x100000,
			CVMX_BOOTMEM_FLAG_NO_LOCKING);

Which would eventually call:

    cvmx_bootmem_phy_set_size(new_ent_addr,
		cvmx_bootmem_phy_get_size
		(ent_addr) -
		(desired_min_addr -
			ent_addr));

Where 'new_ent_addr'=0x4800000 (the address of 'delayed_fput_list')
and the second argument (size)=0xb7fdc00 (the address causing the
kernel panic). The job of this part of 'plat_mem_setup()' is to
allocate chunks of memory for the kernel to use. At the start of
each chunk of memory the size of the chunk is written, hence the
value 0xb7fdc00 is written onto memory at 0x4800000, therefore the
kernel panics when it goes back to access 'delayed_fput_list' later
on in the initialisation process.

On builds that were not crashing it was found that the compiler had
placed 'delayed_fput_list' at 0x4800008, meaning it wasn't corrupted
(but something else in memory was overwritten).

As can be seen in the first function call above the code begins to
allocate chunks of memory beginning from the symbol '__init_end'.
The MIPS linker script (vmlinux.lds.S) however defines the .bss
section to begin after '__init_end'. Therefore memory within the
.bss section is allocated to the kernel to use (System.map shows
'delayed_fput_list' and other kernel structures to be in .bss).

To stop the kernel panic (and the .bss section being corrupted)
memory should begin being allocated from the symbol '_end'.

Commit 1a3d59579b9f ("MIPS: Tidy up FPU context switching") removed FP
context saving from the asm-written resume function in favour of reusing
existing code to perform the same task. However it only removed the FP
context saving code from the r4k_switch.S implementation of resume.
Remove it from the r2300_switch.S implementation too in order to prevent
attempting to save the FP context twice, which would likely lead to an
exception from the second save because the FPU had already been disabled
by the first save.

Commit 1a3d59579b9f ("MIPS: Tidy up FPU context switching") removed FP
context saving from the asm-written resume function in favour of reusing
existing code to perform the same task. However it only removed the FP
context saving code from the r4k_switch.S implementation of resume.
Remove it from the r2300_switch.S implementation too in order to prevent
attempting to save the FP context twice, which would likely lead to an
exception from the second save because the FPU had already been disabled
by the first save.

Commit 1a3d59579b9f ("MIPS: Tidy up FPU context switching") removed FP
context saving from the asm-written resume function in favour of reusing
existing code to perform the same task. However it only removed the FP
context saving code from the r4k_switch.S implementation of resume.
Octeon uses its own implementation in octeon_switch.S, so remove FP
context saving there too in order to prevent attempting to save context
twice. That formerly led to an exception from the second save as follows
because the FPU had already been disabled by the first save:

The entire bpf_jit_asm.S is written in noreorder mode because "we know
better" according to a comment.  This also prevented the assembler from
throwing in the required NOPs for MIPS I processors which have no
load-use interlock, thus the load's consumer might end up using the
old value of the register from prior to the load.

Fixed by putting the assembler in reorder mode for just the affected
load instructions.  This is not enough for gas to actually try to be
clever by looking at the next instruction and inserting a nop only
when needed but as the comment said "we know better", so getting gas
to unconditionally emit a NOP is just right in this case and prevents
adding further ifdefery.
