[ Upstream commit 9d6e21ddf20293b3880ae55b9d14de91c5891c59 ]

Clear Cause.BD after we use instruction_pointer_set to override
EPC.

This can prevent exception_epc check against instruction code at
new return address.
It won't be considered as "in delay slot" after epc being overridden
anyway.

"cpu_probe" is called both by BP and APs, but reserving exception vector
(like 0x0-0x1000) called by "cpu_probe" need once and calling on APs is
too late since memblock is unavailable at that time.

So, reserve exception vector ONLY by BP.

On architectures with delay slot, architecture level instruction
pointer (or program counter) in pt_regs may differ from where
exception was triggered.

Introduce exception_ip hook to invoke architecture code and determine
actual instruction pointer to the exception.

[ Upstream commit d55347bfe4e66dce2e1e7501e5492f4af3e315f8 ]

After 'lib: checksum: Use aligned accesses for ip_fast_csum and
csum_ipv6_magic tests' was applied, the test_csum_ipv6_magic unit test
started failing for all mips platforms, both little and bit endian.
Oddly enough, adding debug code into test_csum_ipv6_magic() made the
problem disappear.

The gcc manual says:

"The "memory" clobber tells the compiler that the assembly code performs
 memory reads or writes to items other than those listed in the input
 and output operands (for example, accessing the memory pointed to by one
 of the input parameters)
"

This is definitely the case for csum_ipv6_magic(). Indeed, adding the
'memory' clobber fixes the problem.

<title>work around gcc bugs with 'asm goto' with outputs</title>

commit 4356e9f841f7fbb945521cef3577ba394c65f3fc upstream.

We've had issues with gcc and 'asm goto' before, and we created a
'asm_volatile_goto()' macro for that in the past: see commits
3f0116c3238a ("compiler/gcc4: Add quirk for 'asm goto' miscompilation
bug") and a9f180345f53 ("compiler/gcc4: Make quirk for
asm_volatile_goto() unconditional").

Then, much later, we ended up removing the workaround in commit
43c249ea0b1e ("compiler-gcc.h: remove ancient workaround for gcc PR
58670") because we no longer supported building the kernel with the
affected gcc versions, but we left the macro uses around.

Now, Sean Christopherson reports a new version of a very similar
problem, which is fixed by re-applying that ancient workaround.  But the
problem in question is limited to only the 'asm goto with outputs'
cases, so instead of re-introducing the old workaround as-is, let's
rename and limit the workaround to just that much less common case.

It looks like there are at least two separate issues that all hit in
this area:

 (a) some versions of gcc don't mark the asm goto as 'volatile' when it
     has outputs:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98619
        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110420

     which is easy to work around by just adding the 'volatile' by hand.

 (b) Internal compiler errors:

        https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=110422

     which are worked around by adding the extra empty 'asm' as a
     barrier, as in the original workaround.

but the problem Sean sees may be a third thing since it involves bad
code generation (not an ICE) even with the manually added 'volatile'.

but the same old workaround works for this case, even if this feels a
bit like voodoo programming and may only be hiding the issue.

[ Upstream commit 7a92fc8b4d20680e4c20289a670d8fca2d1f2c1b ]

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).

But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.

So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

commit 59be5c35850171e307ca5d3d703ee9ff4096b948 upstream.

If we still own the FPU after initializing fcr31, when we are preempted
the dirty value in the FPU will be read out and stored into fcr31,
clobbering our setting.  This can cause an improper floating-point
environment after execve().  For example:

    zsh% cat measure.c
    #include &lt;fenv.h&gt;
    int main() { return fetestexcept(FE_INEXACT); }
    zsh% cc measure.c -o measure -lm
    zsh% echo $((1.0/3)) # raising FE_INEXACT
    0.33333333333333331
    zsh% while ./measure; do ; done
    (stopped in seconds)

Call lose_fpu(0) before setting fcr31 to prevent this.

[ Upstream commit 4bf2a626dc4bb46f0754d8ac02ec8584ff114ad5 ]

Lantiq uses a common kernel config for devices with 24Kc and 34Kc cores.
The changes made previously to add support for interrupts on all cores
work on 24Kc platforms with SMP disabled and 34Kc platforms with SMP
enabled. This patch fixes boot issues on Danube (single core 24Kc) with
SMP enabled.

[ Upstream commit 4bf2a626dc4bb46f0754d8ac02ec8584ff114ad5 ]

Lantiq uses a common kernel config for devices with 24Kc and 34Kc cores.
The changes made previously to add support for interrupts on all cores
work on 24Kc platforms with SMP disabled and 34Kc platforms with SMP
enabled. This patch fixes boot issues on Danube (single core 24Kc) with
SMP enabled.

Fixes: 730320fd770d ("MIPS: lantiq: enable all hardware interrupts on second VPE")

<title>mips: Fix max_mapnr being uninitialized on early stages</title>

commit e1a9ae45736989c972a8d1c151bc390678ae6205 upstream.

max_mapnr variable is utilized in the pfn_valid() method in order to
determine the upper PFN space boundary. Having it uninitialized
effectively makes any PFN passed to that method invalid. That in its turn
causes the kernel mm-subsystem occasion malfunctions even after the
max_mapnr variable is actually properly updated. For instance,
pfn_valid() is called in the init_unavailable_range() method in the
framework of the calls-chain on MIPS:
setup_arch()
+-&gt; paging_init()
    +-&gt; free_area_init()
        +-&gt; memmap_init()
            +-&gt; memmap_init_zone_range()
                +-&gt; init_unavailable_range()

Since pfn_valid() always returns "false" value before max_mapnr is
initialized in the mem_init() method, any flatmem page-holes will be left
in the poisoned/uninitialized state including the IO-memory pages. Thus
any further attempts to map/remap the IO-memory by using MMU may fail.
In particular it happened in my case on attempt to map the SRAM region.
The kernel bootup procedure just crashed on the unhandled unaligned access
bug raised in the __update_cache() method:

&gt; Unhandled kernel unaligned access[#1]:
&gt; CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.7.0-rc1-XXX-dirty #2056
&gt; ...
&gt; Call Trace:
&gt; [&lt;8011ef9c&gt;] __update_cache+0x88/0x1bc
&gt; [&lt;80385944&gt;] ioremap_page_range+0x110/0x2a4

&gt; [&lt;80889d20&gt;] platform_probe+0x68/0xec
&gt; ...

Let's fix the problem by initializing the max_mapnr variable as soon as
the required data is available. In particular it can be done right in the
paging_init() method before free_area_init() is called since all the PFN
zone boundaries have already been calculated by that time.
