commit 38dffe1e4dde1d3174fdce09d67370412843ebb5 upstream.

A Golang developer reported MIPS hwcap isn't reflecting instructions
that the processor actually supported so programs can't apply optimized
code at runtime.

Thus we export the ASEs that can be used in userspace programs.

<title>MIPS: Disable Loongson MMI instructions for kernel build</title>

commit 2f2b4fd674cadd8c6b40eb629e140a14db4068fd upstream.

GCC 9.x automatically enables support for Loongson MMI instructions when
using some -march= flags, and then errors out when -msoft-float is
specified with:

  cc1: error: ‘-mloongson-mmi’ must be used with ‘-mhard-float’

The kernel shouldn't be using these MMI instructions anyway, just as it
doesn't use floating point instructions. Explicitly disable them in
order to fix the build with GCC 9.x.

commit 015664d15270a112c2371d812f03f7c579b35a73 upstream.

The Rio500 kernel driver has not been used by Rio500 owners since 2001
not long after the rio500 project added support for a user-space USB stack
through the very first versions of usbdevfs and then libusb.

Support for the kernel driver was removed from the upstream utilities
in 2008:

commit d2f965549006acb865c4638f1f030ebcefdc71f6 upstream.

Recently, binutils had split Loongson-3 Extensions into four ASEs:
MMI, CAM, EXT, EXT2. This patch do the samething in kernel and expose
them in cpuinfo so applications can probe supported ASEs at runtime.

[ 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.

Explicitly cast this value to a boolean so that clang understands we
intend for this to be a non-zero value.

When mm_bc1t_op and mm_bc2t_op are taken, the bc_false initialization
does not happen, which leads to a garbage value upon use, as illustrated
below with a small sample program.

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.
