commit b64d814257b027e29a474bcd660f6372490138c7 upstream.

Espressobin boards have 3 ethernet ports and some of them got assigned more
then one MAC address. MAC addresses are stored in U-Boot environment.

Since commit a2c7023f7075c ("net: dsa: read mac address from DT for slave
device") kernel can use MAC addresses from DT for particular DSA port.

Currently Espressobin DTS file contains alias just for ethernet0.

This patch defines additional ethernet aliases in Espressobin DTS files, so
bootloader can fill correct MAC address for DSA switch ports if more MAC
addresses were specified.

DT alias ethernet1 is used for wan port, DT aliases ethernet2 and ethernet3
are used for lan ports for both Espressobin revisions (V5 and V7).

Fixes: 5253cb8c00a6f ("arm64: dts: marvell: espressobin: add ethernet alias")

<title>ARC: stack unwinding: avoid indefinite looping</title>

commit 328d2168ca524d501fc4b133d6be076142bd305c upstream.

Currently stack unwinder is a while(1) loop which relies on the dwarf
unwinder to signal termination, which in turn relies on dwarf info to do
so. This in theory could cause an infinite loop if the dwarf info was
somehow messed up or the register contents were etc.

This fix thus detects the excessive looping and breaks the loop.

[ Upstream commit ce3d31ad3cac765484463b4f5a0b6b1f8f1a963e ]

The call to rcu_cpu_starting() in secondary_start_kernel() is not early
enough in the CPU-hotplug onlining process, which results in lockdep
splats as follows:

 WARNING: suspicious RCU usage
 -----------------------------
 kernel/locking/lockdep.c:3497 RCU-list traversed in non-reader section!!

 other info that might help us debug this:

 RCU used illegally from offline CPU!
 rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
 no locks held by swapper/1/0.

This is avoided by moving the call to rcu_cpu_starting up near the
beginning of the secondary_start_kernel() function.

[ Upstream commit afc18069a2cb7ead5f86623a5f3d4ad6e21f940d ]

kexec_file_load() currently reuses the old boot_params.screen_info,
but if drivers have change the hardware state, boot_param.screen_info
could contain invalid info.

For example, the video type might be no longer VGA, or the frame buffer
address might be changed. If the kexec kernel keeps using the old screen_info,
kexec'ed kernel may attempt to write to an invalid framebuffer
memory region.

There are two screen_info instances globally available, boot_params.screen_info
and screen_info. Later one is a copy, and is updated by drivers.

So let kexec_file_load use the updated copy.

This adds the missing perpheral clock for the RNG for Amlogic G12. As
stated in amlogic,meson-rng.yaml, this isn't always necessary for the
RNG to function, but is better to have in case the clock is disabled for
some reason prior to loading.

[ Upstream commit dea252fa41cd8ce332d148444e4799235a8a03ec ]

When running dtbs_check thermal_zone warn about the
temperature declared.

thermal-zones: cpu-thermal:trips:cpu-alert0:temperature:0:0: 850000 is greater than the maximum of 200000

It's indeed wrong the real value is 85°C and not 850°C.

commit ec9d78070de986ecf581ea204fd322af4d2477ec upstream.

Commit 39d114ddc682 ("arm64: add KASAN support") added .weak directives to
arch/arm64/lib/mem*.S instead of changing the existing SYM_FUNC_START_PI
macros. This can lead to the assembly snippet `.weak memcpy ... .globl
memcpy` which will produce a STB_WEAK memcpy with GNU as but STB_GLOBAL
memcpy with LLVM's integrated assembler before LLVM 12. LLVM 12 (since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D90108) will error on such an overridden symbol
binding.

Use the appropriate SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_PI instead.

commit 3ac0f4526dfb80625f5c2365bccd85be68db93ef upstream.

In an effort to clarify and simplify the annotation of assembly functions
in the kernel new macros have been introduced. These replace ENTRY and
ENDPROC and also add a new annotation for static functions which previously
had no ENTRY equivalent. Update the annotations in the library code to the
new macros.

As part of an effort to make the annotations in assembly code clearer and
more consistent new macros have been introduced, including replacements
for ENTRY() and ENDPROC().

On arm64 we have ENDPIPROC(), a custom version of ENDPROC() which is
used for code that will need to run in position independent environments
like EFI, it creates an alias for the function with the prefix __pi_ and
then emits the standard ENDPROC. Add new-style macros to replace this
which expand to the standard SYM_FUNC_*() and SYM_FUNC_ALIAS_*(),
resulting in the same object code. These are added in linkage.h for
consistency with where the generic assembler code has its macros.

<title>linkage: Introduce new macros for assembler symbols</title>

commit ffedeeb780dc554eff3d3b16e6a462a26a41d7ec upstream.

Introduce new C macros for annotations of functions and data in
assembly. There is a long-standing mess in macros like ENTRY, END,
ENDPROC and similar. They are used in different manners and sometimes
incorrectly.

So introduce macros with clear use to annotate assembly as follows:

a) Support macros for the ones below
   SYM_T_FUNC -- type used by assembler to mark functions
   SYM_T_OBJECT -- type used by assembler to mark data
   SYM_T_NONE -- type used by assembler to mark entries of unknown type

   They are defined as STT_FUNC, STT_OBJECT, and STT_NOTYPE
   respectively. According to the gas manual, this is the most portable
   way. I am not sure about other assemblers, so this can be switched
   back to %function and %object if this turns into a problem.
   Architectures can also override them by something like ", @function"
   if they need.

   SYM_A_ALIGN, SYM_A_NONE -- align the symbol?
   SYM_L_GLOBAL, SYM_L_WEAK, SYM_L_LOCAL -- linkage of symbols

b) Mostly internal annotations, used by the ones below
   SYM_ENTRY -- use only if you have to (for non-paired symbols)
   SYM_START -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)
   SYM_END -- use only if you have to (for paired symbols)

c) Annotations for code
   SYM_INNER_LABEL_ALIGN -- only for labels in the middle of code
   SYM_INNER_LABEL -- only for labels in the middle of code

   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_ALIAS -- use where there are two local names for
	one function
   SYM_FUNC_START_ALIAS -- use where there are two global names for one
	function
   SYM_FUNC_END_ALIAS -- the end of LOCAL_ALIASed or ALIASed function

   SYM_FUNC_START -- use for global functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_NOALIGN -- use for global functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL -- use for local functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local functions, w/o
	alignment
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK -- use for weak functions
   SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK_NOALIGN -- use for weak functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_FUNC_END -- the end of SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL, SYM_FUNC_START,
	SYM_FUNC_START_WEAK, ...

   For functions with special (non-C) calling conventions:
   SYM_CODE_START -- use for non-C (special) functions
   SYM_CODE_START_NOALIGN -- use for non-C (special) functions, w/o
	alignment
   SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL -- use for local non-C (special) functions
   SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL_NOALIGN -- use for local non-C (special)
	functions, w/o alignment
   SYM_CODE_END -- the end of SYM_CODE_START_LOCAL or SYM_CODE_START

d) For data
   SYM_DATA_START -- global data symbol
   SYM_DATA_START_LOCAL -- local data symbol
   SYM_DATA_END -- the end of the SYM_DATA_START symbol
   SYM_DATA_END_LABEL -- the labeled end of SYM_DATA_START symbol
   SYM_DATA -- start+end wrapper around simple global data
   SYM_DATA_LOCAL -- start+end wrapper around simple local data

==========

The macros allow to pair starts and ends of functions and mark functions
correctly in the output ELF objects.

All users of the old macros in x86 are converted to use these in further
patches.
