[ Upstream commit b1f61b5bde3a1f50392c97b4c8513d1b8efb1cf2 ]

This commit takes care of stack randomization and stack guard gap when
computing mmap base address and checks if the task asked for
randomization.  This fixes the problem uncovered and not fixed for arm

[ Upstream commit 42344113ba7a1ed7b5654cd5270af0d5698d8521 ]

Recent probing at the Linux Kernel Memory Model uncovered a
'surprise'. Strongly ordered architectures where the atomic RmW
primitive implies full memory ordering and
smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic() are a simple barrier() (such as MIPS
without WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC) fail for:

	*x = 1;
	atomic_inc(u);
	smp_mb__after_atomic();
	r0 = *y;

Because, while the atomic_inc() implies memory order, it
(surprisingly) does not provide a compiler barrier. This then allows
the compiler to re-order like so:

	atomic_inc(u);
	*x = 1;
	smp_mb__after_atomic();
	r0 = *y;

Which the CPU is then allowed to re-order (under TSO rules) like:

	atomic_inc(u);
	r0 = *y;
	*x = 1;

And this very much was not intended. Therefore strengthen the atomic
RmW ops to include a compiler barrier.

[ Upstream commit 1c6c1ca318585f1096d4d04bc722297c85e9fb8a ]

The comment describing the loongson_llsc_mb() reorder case doesn't
make any sense what so ever. Instruction re-ordering is not an SMP
artifact, but rather a CPU local phenomenon. Clarify the comment by
explaining that these issue cause a coherence fail.

For the branch speculation case; if futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
needs one at the bne branch target, then surely the normal
__cmpxch_asm() implementation does too. We cannot rely on the
barriers from cmpxchg() because cmpxchg_local() is implemented with
the same macro, and branch prediction and speculation are, too, CPU
local.

Move the definition up so that we get the right behavior and mark it
__maybe_unused as it will not be used when CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT

Move the definition up so that we get the right behavior and mark it
__maybe_unused as it will not be used when CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT
isn't enabled.

[ Upstream commit 053951dda71ecb4b554a2cdbe26f5f6f9bee9dd2 ]

In order to further reduce power consumption, the XBurst core
by default attempts to avoid branch target buffer lookups by
detecting &amp; special casing loops. This feature will cause
BogoMIPS and lpj calculate in error. Set cp0 config7 bit 4 to
disable this feature.

[ Upstream commit b8bea8a5e5d942e62203416ab41edecaed4fda02 ]

Because CONFIG_OF defined for MIPS, cacheinfo attempts to fill information
from DT, ignoring data filled by architecture routine. This leads to error
reported

 cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0

Way to fix this provided in
commit fac51482577d ("drivers: base: cacheinfo: fix x86 with
 CONFIG_OF enabled")

Utilize same mechanism to report that cacheinfo set by architecture
specific function

i8253 clocksource needs a free running timer. This could only
be used, if i8253 clockevent is set up as periodic.

<title>page flags: prioritize kasan bits over last-cpuid</title>

[ Upstream commit ee38d94a0ad89890b770f6c876263cf9fcbfde84 ]

ARM64 randdconfig builds regularly run into a build error, especially
when NUMA_BALANCING and SPARSEMEM are enabled but not SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP:

  #error "KASAN: not enough bits in page flags for tag"

The last-cpuid bits are already contitional on the available space, so
the result of the calculation is a bit random on whether they were
already left out or not.

Adding the kasan tag bits before last-cpuid makes it much more likely to
end up with a successful build here, and should be reliable for
randconfig at least, as long as that does not randomize NR_CPUS or
NODES_SHIFT but uses the defaults.

In order for the modified check to not trigger in the x86 vdso32 code
where all constants are wrong (building with -m32), enclose all the
definitions with an #ifdef.

[ Upstream commit ba1bc0fcdeaf3bf583c1517bd2e3e29cf223c969 ]

The modification of EXIN register doesn't clean the bitfield before
the writing of a new value. After a few modifications the bitfield would
accumulate only '1's.
