[ 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.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Fixed up as per Jayachandran's suggestion.]

[ 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.

Current init code initialises bootmem allocator with all of the low
memory that it assumes is available, but does not check for reserved
memory block, which can lead to corruption of data that may be stored
there.
Move bootmem's allocation map to a location that does not cross any

<title>MIPS: End asm function prologue macros with .insn</title>

[ 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.

commit e6b03ab63b4d270e0249f96536fde632409dc1dc upstream.

When called from prom init code, ar7_gpio_init() will fail as it will
call gpiochip_add() which relies on a working kmalloc() to alloc
the gpio_desc array and kmalloc is not useable yet at prom init time.

Move ar7_gpio_init() to ar7_register_devices() (a device_initcall)
where kmalloc works.

commit 9e8c399a88f0b87e41a894911475ed2a8f8dff9e upstream.

Commit 6f542ebeaee0 ("MIPS: Fix race on setting and getting
cpu_online_mask") effectively reverted commit 8f46cca1e6c06 ("MIPS: SMP:
Fix possibility of deadlock when bringing CPUs online") and thus has
reinstated the possibility of deadlock.

The commit was based on testing of kernel v4.4, where the CPU hotplug
core code issued a BUG() if the starting CPU is not marked online when
the boot CPU returns from __cpu_up. The commit fixes this race (in
v4.4), but re-introduces the deadlock situation.

As noted in the commit message, upstream differs in this area. Commit
8df3e07e7f21f ("cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu bring itself fully up")
adds a completion event in the CPU hotplug core code, making this race
impossible. However, people were unhappy with relying on the core code
to do the right thing.

To address the issues both commits were trying to fix, add a second
completion event in the MIPS smp hotplug path. It removes the
possibility of a race, since the MIPS smp hotplug code now synchronises
both the boot and secondary CPUs before they return to the hotplug core
code. It also addresses the deadlock by ensuring that the secondary CPU
is not marked online before it's counters are synchronised.

This fix should also be backported to fix the race condition introduced
by the backport of commit 8f46cca1e6c06 ("MIPS: SMP: Fix possibility of
deadlock when bringing CPUs online"), through really that race only
existed before commit 8df3e07e7f21f ("cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu
bring itself fully up").

commit 6f542ebeaee0ee552a902ce3892220fc22c7ec8e upstream.

While testing cpu hoptlug (cpu down and up in loops) on kernel 4.4, it was
observed that occasionally check for cpu online will fail in kernel/cpu.c,
_cpu_up:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/tree/kernel/cpu.c?h=v4.4.79#n485
 518        /* Arch-specific enabling code. */
 519        ret = __cpu_up(cpu, idle);
 520
 521        if (ret != 0)
 522                goto out_notify;
 523        BUG_ON(!cpu_online(cpu));

Reason is race between start_secondary and _cpu_up. cpu_callin_map is set
before cpu_online_mask. In __cpu_up, cpu_callin_map is waited for, but cpu
online mask is not, resulting in race in which secondary processor started
and set cpu_callin_map, but not yet set the online mask,resulting in above
BUG being hit.

Upstream differs in the area. cpu_online check is in bringup_wait_for_ap,
which is after cpu reached AP_ONLINE_IDLE,where secondary passed its start
function. Nonetheless, fix makes start_secondary safe and not depending on
other locks throughout the code. It protects as well against cpu_online
checks put in between sometimes in the future.

Fix this by moving completion after all flags are set.

<title>MIPS: SMP: Use a completion event to signal CPU up</title>

commit a00eeede507c975087b7b8df8cf2c9f88ba285de upstream.

If a secondary CPU failed to start, for any reason, the CPU requesting
the secondary to start would get stuck in the loop waiting for the
secondary to be present in the cpu_callin_map.

Rather than that, use a completion event to signal that the secondary
CPU has started and is waiting to synchronise counters.

Since the CPU presence will no longer be marked in cpu_callin_map,
remove the redundant test from arch_cpu_idle_dead().

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

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.
