<title>MIPS: boot/compressed: Copy DTB to aligned address</title>

<content type='text'>
Since 5.12-rc1, the Device Tree blob must now be properly aligned.

Therefore, the decompress routine must be careful to copy the blob at
the next aligned address after the kernel image.

This commit fixes the kernel sometimes not booting with a Device Tree
blob appended to it.

Commit 1e35918ad9d1 ("MIPS: Enable Undefined Behavior Sanitizer
UBSAN") added a possibility to build the entire kernel with UBSAN
instrumentation for MIPS, with the exception for VDSO.
However, self-extracting head wasn't been added to exceptions, so
this occurs:

mips-alpine-linux-musl-ld: arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o:
in function `FSE_buildDTable_wksp':
decompress.c:(.text.FSE_buildDTable_wksp+0x278): undefined reference

decompress.c:(.text.FSE_buildDTable_raw+0x9c): more undefined references
to `__ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds' follow

Add UBSAN_SANITIZE := n to mips/boot/compressed/Makefile to exclude
it from instrumentation scope and fix this issue.

Commit 2ee1503e546f ("MIPS: zboot: head.S clean up").

After .noreorder removed, clear BSS fall into endless loop. The bne
instruction will add nop to the delay slot at compile time. So a0
register will not increment by 4. Fix it and clear BSS from _edata
to (_end - 1).

.cprestore is removed as we don't expect Position Independent
zboot ELF.

.noreorder is also removed and rest instructions are massaged
to improve readability.

t9 register is used for indirect jump as MIPS ABI requirement.

start label is removed as it already defined in LEAF.

The compressed payload is not necesarily 4-byte aligned, at least when
compiling with Clang. In that case, the 4-byte value appended to the
compressed payload that corresponds to the uncompressed kernel image
size must be read using get_unaligned_le32().

This fixes Clang-built kernels not booting on MIPS (tested on a Ingenic
JZ4770 board).

Enable gcov profiling of the entire kernel on mips. Required changes
include disabling profiling for:

Lightly tested on Loongson 3A3000 an 3A4000, seems to work as expected.

Commit c3e2ee657418 ("MIPS: generic: Add support for zboot") added
support for self-extracting images to Generic MIPS. However, the
intended way to boot Generic MIPS kernels is using FIT Images and
UHI boot protocol, but currently there's no way to make self-extracting
FIT Image (only legacy uzImages).
Add a target for this named "vmlinuz.itb", which will consist of
vmlinuz.bin and selected DT blobs. It will allow to have the advantages
of both UHI and self-extracting images.

1. All final targets like vmlinuz.{bin,ecoff,srec} etc. should reside in
   $(objtree)/arch/mips/boot, not in the root $(objtree) directory.
   The only file that should be left there is vmlinuz, similar to other
   architectures.
2. Add all the targets to $(targets) variable, so they'll be properly
   accounted by Kbuild. This also allows to remove redundant
   $(clean-files) (which were missing uzImage BTW).
3. Prefix all targets with $(obj)/$(objtree), depending on their
   locations.

Misc: fix the identation of the 'STRIP' quiet message.

This will make a separated section for dtb appear in ELF, and we can
then use objcopy to patch a dtb into vmlinuz when RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is set in kernel config.

command to patch a dtb:
objcopy --set-section-flags=.appended_dtb=alloc,contents \
        --update-section=.appended_dtb=&lt;target&gt;.dtb vmlinuz
