Make sure resources are not improperly shared in the op cache and
cause instruction corruption this way.

Commit 232afb557835d6f6859c73bf610bad308c96b131 upstream.

Add a synthetic feature flag specifically for first generation Zen
machines. There's need to have a generic flag for all Zen generations so
make X86_FEATURE_ZEN be that flag.

commit 1af997cad473d505248df6d9577183bb91f69670 upstream.

Reboot starts failing on Poplar since commit 8424ecdde7df ("arm64: mm:
Set ZONE_DMA size based on devicetree's dma-ranges"), which effectively
changes zone_dma_bits from 30 to 32 for arm64 platforms that do not
properly define dma-ranges in device tree.  It's unclear how Poplar reboot
gets broken by this change exactly, but a dma-ranges limiting zone_dma to
the first 1 GB fixes the regression.

commit c1f2b0f2b5e37b2c27540a175aea2755a3799433 upstream.

The PCIe reset GPIO on Poplar is actually active low.  The active high
worked before because kernel driver didn't respect the setting from DT.
This is changed since commit 1d26a55fbeb9 ("PCI: histb: Switch to using
gpiod API"), and thus PCIe on Poplar got brken since then.

Fix the problem by correcting the polarity.

<title>MIPS: mm: Rewrite TLB uniquification for the hidden bit feature</title>

commit 540760b77b8fc49d39d1b2b76196e5ec57711a32 upstream.

Before the introduction of the EHINV feature, which lets software mark
TLB entries invalid, certain older implementations of the MIPS ISA were
equipped with an analogous bit, as a vendor extension, which however is
hidden from software and only ever set at reset, and then any software
write clears it, making the intended TLB entry valid.

This feature makes it unsafe to read a TLB entry with TLBR, modify the
page mask, and write the entry back with TLBWI, because this operation
will implicitly clear the hidden bit and this may create a duplicate
entry, as with the presence of the hidden bit there is no guarantee all
the entries across the TLB are unique each.

Usually the firmware has already uniquified TLB entries before handing
control over, in which case we only need to guarantee at bootstrap no
clash will happen with the VPN2 values chosen in local_flush_tlb_all().

However with systems such as Mikrotik RB532 we get handed the TLB as at
reset, with the hidden bit set across the entries and possibly duplicate
entries present.  This then causes a machine check exception when page
sizes are reset in r4k_tlb_uniquify() and prevents the system from
booting.

Rewrite the algorithm used in r4k_tlb_uniquify() then such as to avoid
the reuse of ASID/VPN values across the TLB.  Get rid of global entries
first as they may be blocking the entire address space, e.g. 16 256MiB
pages will exhaust the whole address space of a 32-bit CPU and a single
big page can exhaust the 32-bit compatibility space on a 64-bit CPU.

Details of the algorithm chosen are given across the code itself.

<title>MIPS: mm: Suppress TLB uniquification on EHINV hardware</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 74283cfe216392c7b776ebf6045b5b15ed9dffcd upstream.

Hardware that supports the EHINV feature, mandatory for R6 ISA and FTLB
implementation, lets software mark TLB entries invalid, which eliminates
the need to ensure no duplicate matching entries are ever created.  This
feature is already used by local_flush_tlb_all(), via the UNIQUE_ENTRYHI
macro, making the preceding call to r4k_tlb_uniquify() superfluous.

The next change will also modify uniquification code such that it'll
become incompatible with the FTLB and MMID features, as well as MIPSr6
CPUs that do not implement 4KiB pages.

Therefore prevent r4k_tlb_uniquify() from being used on EHINV hardware,
as denoted by `cpu_has_tlbinv'.

commit 74283cfe216392c7b776ebf6045b5b15ed9dffcd upstream.

Hardware that supports the EHINV feature, mandatory for R6 ISA and FTLB
implementation, lets software mark TLB entries invalid, which eliminates
the need to ensure no duplicate matching entries are ever created.  This
feature is already used by local_flush_tlb_all(), via the UNIQUE_ENTRYHI
macro, making the preceding call to r4k_tlb_uniquify() superfluous.

The next change will also modify uniquification code such that it'll
become incompatible with the FTLB and MMID features, as well as MIPSr6
CPUs that do not implement 4KiB pages.

Therefore prevent r4k_tlb_uniquify() from being used on EHINV hardware,
as denoted by `cpu_has_tlbinv'.
