[ Upstream commit fd7710cb491f900eb63d2ce5aac0e682003e84e9 ]

Commit 3c1d3f097972 ("MIPS: futex: Emit Loongson3 sync workarounds
within asm") inadvertently removed the newlines following
__WEAK_LLSC_MB, which causes build failures for configurations in which
__WEAK_LLSC_MB expands to a sync instruction:

  {standard input}: Assembler messages:
  {standard input}:9346: Error: symbol `sync3' is already defined
  {standard input}:9380: Error: symbol `sync3' is already defined
  ...

Fix this by restoring the newlines to separate the sync instruction from
anything following it (such as the 3: label), preventing inadvertent
concatenation.

[ Upstream commit 3b2fa0c92686562ac0b8cf00c0326a45814f8e18 ]

Some versions of SoC MT7621 have three PCI express hosts. Some boards
make use of those PCI through the staging driver mt7621-pci. Recently
PCI support has been removed from MT7621 Soc kernel configuration due
to a build error. This makes imposible to compile staging driver and
produces a regression for gnubee based boards. Enable support for PCI
again but enable it only if staging mt7621-pci driver is selected.

[ Upstream commit 3c1d3f0979721a39dd2980c97466127ce65aa130 ]

Generate the sync instructions required to workaround Loongson3 LL/SC
errata within inline asm blocks, which feels a little safer than doing
it from C where strictly speaking the compiler would be well within its
rights to insert a memory access between the separate asm statements we
previously had, containing sync &amp; ll instructions respectively.

<title>timekeeping/vsyscall: Update VDSO data unconditionally</title>

<id>52338415cf4d4064ae6b8dd972dadbda841da4fa</id>
<content type='text'>
The update of the VDSO data is depending on __arch_use_vsyscall() returning
True. This is a leftover from the attempt to map the features of various
architectures 1:1 into generic code.

The usage of __arch_use_vsyscall() in the actual vsyscall implementations
got dropped and replaced by the requirement for the architecture code to
return U64_MAX if the global clocksource is not usable in the VDSO.

But the __arch_use_vsyscall() check in the update code stayed which causes
the VDSO data to be stale or invalid when an architecture actually
implements that function and returns False when the current clocksource is
not usable in the VDSO.

As a consequence the VDSO implementations of clock_getres(), time(),
clock_gettime(CLOCK_.*_COARSE) operate on invalid data and return bogus
information.

Remove the __arch_use_vsyscall() check from the VDSO update function and
update the VDSO data unconditionally.

Commit 775b089aeffa ("MIPS: tlbex: Remove cpu_has_local_ebase") removed
generating tlb refill handlers for every CPU, which was needed for
generating per node exception handlers on IP27. Instead of resurrecting
(and fixing) refill handler generation, we simply copy all exception
vectors from the boot node to the other nodes. Also remove the config
option since the memory tradeoff for expection handler replication
is just 8k per node.

<title>MIPS: tlbex: Fix build_restore_pagemask KScratch restore</title>

<id>b42aa3fd5957e4daf4b69129e5ce752a2a53e7d6</id>
<content type='text'>
build_restore_pagemask() will restore the value of register $1/$at when
its restore_scratch argument is non-zero, and aims to do so by filling a
branch delay slot. Commit 0b24cae4d535 ("MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0
-&gt; mfc0 sequence.") added an EHB instruction (Execution Hazard Barrier)
prior to restoring $1 from a KScratch register, in order to resolve a
hazard that can result in stale values of the KScratch register being
observed. In particular, P-class CPUs from MIPS with out of order
execution pipelines such as the P5600 &amp; P6600 are affected.

Unfortunately this EHB instruction was inserted in the branch delay slot
causing the MFC0 instruction which performs the restoration to no longer
execute along with the branch. The result is that the $1 register isn't
actually restored, ie. the TLB refill exception handler clobbers it -
which is exactly the problem the EHB is meant to avoid for the P-class
CPUs.

Similarly build_get_pgd_vmalloc() will restore the value of $1/$at when
its mode argument equals refill_scratch, and suffers from the same
problem.

Fix this by in both cases moving the EHB earlier in the emitted code.
There's no reason it needs to immediately precede the MFC0 - it simply
needs to be between the MTC0 &amp; MFC0.

This bug only affects Cavium Octeon systems which use
build_fast_tlb_refill_handler().

build_restore_pagemask() will restore the value of register $1/$at when
its restore_scratch argument is non-zero, and aims to do so by filling a
branch delay slot. Commit 0b24cae4d535 ("MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0
-&gt; mfc0 sequence.") added an EHB instruction (Execution Hazard Barrier)
prior to restoring $1 from a KScratch register, in order to resolve a
hazard that can result in stale values of the KScratch register being
observed. In particular, P-class CPUs from MIPS with out of order
execution pipelines such as the P5600 &amp; P6600 are affected.

Unfortunately this EHB instruction was inserted in the branch delay slot
causing the MFC0 instruction which performs the restoration to no longer
execute along with the branch. The result is that the $1 register isn't
actually restored, ie. the TLB refill exception handler clobbers it -
which is exactly the problem the EHB is meant to avoid for the P-class
CPUs.

Similarly build_get_pgd_vmalloc() will restore the value of $1/$at when
its mode argument equals refill_scratch, and suffers from the same
problem.

Fix this by in both cases moving the EHB earlier in the emitted code.
There's no reason it needs to immediately precede the MFC0 - it simply
needs to be between the MTC0 &amp; MFC0.

This bug only affects Cavium Octeon systems which use
build_fast_tlb_refill_handler().

The vectors span more than one byte, so mark them as arrays.

Fixes the following build error when building when using GCC 8.3:

<title>mips: vdso: Fix __arch_get_hw_counter()</title>

On some MIPS variants (e.g. MIPS r1), vDSO clock_mode is set to
VDSO_CLOCK_NONE.

When VDSO_CLOCK_NONE is set the expected kernel behavior is to fallback
on syscalls. To do that the generic vDSO library expects UULONG_MAX as
return value of __arch_get_hw_counter().

Fix __arch_get_hw_counter() on MIPS defining a __VDSO_USE_SYSCALL case
that addressed the described scenario.
