commit 5816c76dea116a458f1932eefe064e35403248eb upstream.

If a CPU support more than 32bit vmbits (which is true for 64bit CPUs),
VPN2_MASK set to fixed 0xffffe000 will lead to a wrong EntryHi in some
functions such as _kvm_mips_host_tlb_inv().

The cpu_vmbits definition of 32bit CPU in cpu-features.h is 31, so we
still use the old definition.

<title>KVM: MIPS: Define KVM_ENTRYHI_ASID to cpu_asid_mask(&amp;boot_cpu_data)</title>

commit fe2b73dba47fb6d6922df1ad44e83b1754d5ed4d upstream.

The code in decode_config4() of arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.c

        asid_mask = MIPS_ENTRYHI_ASID;
        if (config4 &amp; MIPS_CONF4_AE)
                asid_mask |= MIPS_ENTRYHI_ASIDX;
        set_cpu_asid_mask(c, asid_mask);

set asid_mask to cpuinfo-&gt;asid_mask.

So in order to support variable ASID_MASK, KVM_ENTRYHI_ASID should also
be changed to cpu_asid_mask(&amp;boot_cpu_data).

<title>arch: split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions out to &lt;asm/vermagic.h&gt;</title>

<id>62d0fd591db1f9dcf68fb963b3a94af085a6b166</id>
<content type='text'>
As the bug report [1] pointed out, &lt;linux/vermagic.h&gt; must be included
after &lt;linux/module.h&gt;.

I believe we should not impose any include order restriction. We often
sort include directives alphabetically, but it is just coding style
convention. Technically, we can include header files in any order by
making every header self-contained.

Currently, arch-specific MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC is defined in
&lt;asm/module.h&gt;, which is not included from &lt;linux/vermagic.h&gt;.

Hence, the straight-forward fix-up would be as follows:

|--- a/include/linux/vermagic.h
|+++ b/include/linux/vermagic.h
|@@ -1,5 +1,6 @@
| /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */
| #include &lt;generated/utsrelease.h&gt;
|+#include &lt;linux/module.h&gt;
|
| /* Simply sanity version stamp for modules. */
| #ifdef CONFIG_SMP

This works enough, but for further cleanups, I split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC
definitions into &lt;asm/vermagic.h&gt;.

With this, &lt;linux/module.h&gt; and &lt;linux/vermagic.h&gt; will be orthogonal,
and the location of MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions will be consistent.

For arc and ia64, MODULE_PROC_FAMILY is only used for defining
MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC. I squashed it.

For hexagon, nds32, and xtensa, I removed &lt;asm/modules.h&gt; entirely
because they contained nothing but MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definition.
Kbuild will automatically generate &lt;asm/modules.h&gt; at build-time,
wrapping &lt;asm-generic/module.h&gt;.

Pull more Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - raise minimum supported binutils version to 2.23

 - remove old CONFIG_AS_* macros that we know binutils &gt;= 2.23 supports

 - move remaining CONFIG_AS_* tests to Kconfig from Makefile

 - enable -Wtautological-compare warnings to catch more issues

 - do not support GCC plugins for GCC &lt;= 4.7

 - fix various breakages of 'make xconfig'

 - include the linker version used for linking the kernel into
   LINUX_COMPILER, which is used for the banner, and also exposed to
   /proc/version

 - link lib-y objects to vmlinux forcibly when CONFIG_MODULES=y, which
   allows us to remove the lib-ksyms.o workaround, and to solve the last
   known issue of the LLVM linker

 - add dummy tools in scripts/dummy-tools/ to enable all compiler tests
   in Kconfig, which will be useful for distro maintainers

 - support the single switch, LLVM=1 to use Clang and all LLVM utilities
   instead of GCC and Binutils.

 - support LLVM_IAS=1 to enable the integrated assembler, which is still
   experimental

<title>mm/special: create generic fallbacks for pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()</title>

Currently there are many platforms that dont enable ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
but required to define quite similar fallback stubs for special page
table entry helpers such as pte_special() and pte_mkspecial(), as they
get build in generic MM without a config check.  This creates two
generic fallback stub definitions for these helpers, eliminating much
code duplication.

mips platform has a special case where pte_special() and pte_mkspecial()
visibility is wider than what ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL enablement requires.
This restricts those symbol visibility in order to avoid redefinitions
which is now exposed through this new generic stubs and subsequent build
failure.  arm platform set_pte_at() definition needs to be moved into a
C file just to prevent a build failure.

There are many platforms with exact same value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS
This creates a default value for VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS in line with the
existing VM_STACK_DEFAULT_FLAGS.  While here, also define some more
macros with standard VMA access flag combinations that are used
frequently across many platforms.  Apart from simplification, this
reduces code duplication as well.

<title>MIPS: fw: arc: add __weak to prom_meminit and prom_free_prom_memory</title>

As far as I understood, prom_meminit() in arch/mips/fw/arc/memory.c
is overridden by the one in arch/mips/sgi-ip32/ip32-memory.c if
CONFIG_SGI_IP32 is enabled.

The use of EXPORT_SYMBOL in static libraries potentially causes a
problem for the llvm linker [1]. So, I want to forcibly link lib-y
objects to vmlinux when CONFIG_MODULES=y.

As a groundwork, we must fix multiple definitions that have previously
been hidden by lib-y.

The prom_cleanup() in this file is already marked as __weak (because
it is overridden by the one in arch/mips/sgi-ip22/ip22-mc.c).
I think it should be OK to do the same for these two.

Generated files are also checked by sparse that's why add newline to
remove sparse (C=1) warning.

The issue was found on Microblaze and reported like this:
./arch/microblaze/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h:438:45: warning:
no newline at end of file

Mips and PowerPC have it already but let's align with style used by m68k.

<title>mm/vma: append unlikely() while testing VMA access permissions</title>

It is unlikely that an inaccessible VMA without required permission flags
will get a page fault.  Hence lets just append unlikely() directive to
such checks in order to improve performance while also standardizing it
across various platforms.
