commit 7de7ac785ae18a2cdc78d7560f48e3213d9ea0ab upstream.

There are XCHAL_NUM_DBREAK registers, clear them all.
This also fixes cryptic assembler error message with binutils 2.25 when
XCHAL_NUM_DBREAK is 0:

  as: out of memory allocating 18446744073709551575 bytes after a total

<title>xtensa: fix secondary core boot in SMP</title>

commit ab45fb145096799dabd18afc58bb5f97171017cd upstream.

There are multiple factors adding to the issue in different
configurations:

- commit 17290231df16eeee ("xtensa: add fixup for double exception raised
  in window overflow") added function window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup to
  double exception vector overlapping reset vector location of secondary
  processor cores.
- on MMUv2 cores RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR may point to uncached kernel memory
  making code overlapping depend on cache type and size, so that without
  cache or with WT cache reset vector code overwrites double exception
  code, making issue even harder to detect.
- on MMUv3 cores RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR may point to unmapped area, as
  MMUv3 cores change virtual address map to match MMUv2 layout, but
  reset vector virtual address is given for the original MMUv3 mapping.
- physical memory region of the secondary reset vector is not reserved
  in the physical memory map, and thus may be allocated and overwritten
  at arbitrary moment.

Fix it as follows:

- move window_overflow_restore_a0_fixup code to .text section.
- define RESET_VECTOR1_VADDR so that it points to reset vector in the
  cacheable MMUv2 map for cores with MMU.
- reserve reset vector region in the physical memory map. Drop separate
  literal section and build mxhead.S with text section literals.

commit 5029615e25dc5040beb065f36743c127a8e51497 upstream.

Build-time fixes:
- make lbeg/lend/lcount save/restore conditional on kernel entry;
- don't clear lcount in platform_restart functions unconditionally.

Run-time fixes:
- use correct end of range register in __endla paired with __loopt, not
  the unused temporary register. This fixes .bss zero-initialization.
  Update comments in asmmacro.h;
- don't clobber a10 in the usercopy that leads to access to unmapped
  memory.

commit 77d6273e79e3a86552fcf10cdd31a69b46ed2ce6 upstream.

call12 can't be safely used as the first call in the inline function,
because the compiler does not extend the stack frame of the bounding
function accordingly, which may result in corruption of local variables.

If a call needs to be done, do call8 first followed by call12.

For pure assembly code in _switch_to increase stack frame size of the
bounding function.

commit 4229fb12a03e5da5882b420b0aa4a02e77447b86 upstream.

Userspace return code may skip restoring THREADPTR register if there are
no registers that need to be zeroed. This leads to spurious failures in
libc NPTL tests.

Always restore THREADPTR on return to userspace.

<title>xtensa: fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 region handling in fast_second_level_miss</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 7128039fe2dd3d59da9e4ffa036f3aaa3ba87b9f upstream.

Current definition of TLBTEMP_BASE_2 is always 32K above the
TLBTEMP_BASE_1, whereas fast_second_level_miss handler for the TLBTEMP
region analyzes virtual address bit (PAGE_SHIFT + DCACHE_ALIAS_ORDER)
to determine TLBTEMP region where the fault happened. The size of the
TLBTEMP region is also checked incorrectly: not 64K, but twice data
cache way size (whicht may as well be less than the instruction cache
way size).

Fix TLBTEMP_BASE_2 to be TLBTEMP_BASE_1 + data cache way size.
Provide TLBTEMP_SIZE that is a greater of doubled data cache way size or
the instruction cache way size, and use it to determine if the second
level TLB miss occured in the TLBTEMP region.

Practical occurence of page faults in the TLBTEMP area is extremely
rare, this code can be tested by deletion of all w[di]tlb instructions
in the tlbtemp_mapping region.

commit 52247123749cc3cbc30168b33ad8c69515c96d23 upstream.

With SMP and a lot of debug options enabled task_struct::thread gets out
of reach of s32i/l32i instructions with base pointing at task_struct,
breaking build with the following messages:

  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1002: Error: operand 3 of 'l32i.n' has invalid value '1048'
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1831: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1040'
  arch/xtensa/kernel/entry.S:1832: Error: operand 3 of 's32i.n' has invalid value '1044'

Change base to point to task_struct::thread in such cases.
Don't use a10 in _switch_to to save/restore prev pointer as a2 is not
clobbered.
