When using the legacy mmap layout, for example triggered using ulimit -s
unlimited, get_unmapped_area() fills memory from bottom to top starting
from a fairly low address near TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE.

This placement is suboptimal if the user application wishes to allocate
large amounts of heap memory using the brk syscall. With the VDSO being
located low in the user's virtual address space, the amount of space
available for access using brk is limited much more than it was prior to
the introduction of the VDSO.

For example:

  # ulimit -s unlimited; cat /proc/self/maps
  00400000-004ec000 r-xp 00000000 08:00 71436      /usr/bin/coreutils
  004fc000-004fd000 rwxp 000ec000 08:00 71436      /usr/bin/coreutils
  004fd000-0050f000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0
  00cc3000-00ce4000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
  2ab96000-2ab98000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0          [vvar]
  2ab98000-2ab99000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0          [vdso]
  2ab99000-2ab9d000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0
  ...

Resolve this by adjusting STACK_TOP to reserve space for the VDSO &amp;
providing an address hint to get_unmapped_area() causing it to use this
space even when using the legacy mmap layout.

We reserve enough space for the VDSO, plus 1MB or 256MB for 32 bit &amp; 64
bit systems respectively within which we randomize the VDSO base
address. Previously this randomization was taken care of by the mmap
base address randomization performed by arch_mmap_rnd(). The 1MB &amp; 256MB
sizes are somewhat arbitrary but chosen such that we have some
randomization without taking up too much of the user's virtual address
space, which is often in short supply for 32 bit systems.

With this the VDSO is always mapped at a high address, leaving lots of
space for statically linked programs to make use of brk:

  # ulimit -s unlimited; cat /proc/self/maps
  00400000-004ec000 r-xp 00000000 08:00 71436      /usr/bin/coreutils
  004fc000-004fd000 rwxp 000ec000 08:00 71436      /usr/bin/coreutils
  004fd000-0050f000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0
  00c28000-00c49000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [heap]
  ...
  7f67c000-7f69d000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0          [stack]
  7f7fc000-7f7fd000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0

  - Fix microMIPS build failures by adding a .insn directive to the
    barrier_before_unreachable() asm statement in order to convince the
    toolchain that the asm statement is a valid branch target rather
    than a bogus attempt to switch ISA.

  - Clean up our declarations of TLB functions that we overwrite with
    generated code in order to prevent the compiler making assumptions
    about alignment that cause microMIPS kernels built with GCC 7 &amp;
    above to die early during boot.

  - Fix up a regression for MIPS32 kernels which slipped into the main
    MIPS pull for 4.19, causing CONFIG_32BIT=y kernels to contain
    inappropriate MIPS64 instructions.

  - Extend our existing workaround for MIPSr6 builds that end up using

<id>906d441febc0de974b2a6ef848a8f058f3bfada3</id>
<content type='text'>
Some versions of GCC for the MIPS architecture suffer from a bug which
can lead to instructions from beyond an unreachable statement being
incorrectly reordered into earlier branch delay slots if the unreachable
statement is the only content of a case in a switch statement. This can
lead to seemingly random behaviour, such as invalid memory accesses from
incorrectly reordered loads or stores, and link failures on microMIPS
builds.

See this potential GCC fix for details:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00360.html

Runtime problems resulting from this bug were initially observed using a
maltasmvp_defconfig v4.4 kernel built using GCC 4.9.2 (from a Codescape
SDK 2015.06-05 toolchain), with the result being an address exception
taken after log messages about the L1 caches (during probe of the L2
cache):

    Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
    VPE topology {2,2} total 4
    Primary instruction cache 64kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 32 bytes.
    Primary data cache 64kB, 4-way, PIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes
    &lt;AdEL exception here&gt;

This is early enough that the kernel exception vectors are not in use,
so any further output depends upon the bootloader. This is reproducible
in QEMU where no further output occurs - ie. the system hangs here.
Given the nature of the bug it may potentially be hit with differing
symptoms. The bug is known to affect GCC versions as recent as 7.3, and
it is unclear whether GCC 8 fixed it or just happens not to encounter
the bug in the testcase found at the link above due to differing
optimizations.

This bug can be worked around by placing a volatile asm statement, which
GCC is prevented from reordering past, prior to the
__builtin_unreachable call.

That was actually done already for other reasons by commit 173a3efd3edb
("bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()"), but creates problems for
microMIPS builds due to the lack of a .insn directive. The microMIPS ISA
allows for interlinking with regular MIPS32 code by repurposing bit 0 of
the program counter as an ISA mode bit. To switch modes one changes the
value of this bit in the PC. However typical branch instructions encode
their offsets as multiples of 2-byte instruction halfwords, which means
they cannot change ISA mode - this must be done using either an indirect
branch (a jump-register in MIPS terminology) or a dedicated jalx
instruction. In order to ensure that regular branches don't attempt to
target code in a different ISA which they can't actually switch to, the
linker will check that branch targets are code in the same ISA as the
branch.

Unfortunately our empty asm volatile statements don't qualify as code,
and the link for microMIPS builds fails with errors such as:

    arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:3265: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
    arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:5027: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode

Resolve this by adding a .insn directive within the asm statement which
declares that what comes next is code. This may or may not be true,
since we don't really know what comes next, but as this code is in an
unreachable path anyway that doesn't matter since we won't execute it.

We do this in asm/compiler.h &amp; select CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H in
order to have this included by linux/compiler_types.h after
linux/compiler-gcc.h. This will result in asm/compiler.h being included
in all C compilations via the -include linux/compiler_types.h argument

Some versions of GCC for the MIPS architecture suffer from a bug which
can lead to instructions from beyond an unreachable statement being
incorrectly reordered into earlier branch delay slots if the unreachable
statement is the only content of a case in a switch statement. This can
lead to seemingly random behaviour, such as invalid memory accesses from
incorrectly reordered loads or stores, and link failures on microMIPS
builds.

See this potential GCC fix for details:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00360.html

Runtime problems resulting from this bug were initially observed using a
maltasmvp_defconfig v4.4 kernel built using GCC 4.9.2 (from a Codescape
SDK 2015.06-05 toolchain), with the result being an address exception
taken after log messages about the L1 caches (during probe of the L2
cache):

    Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
    VPE topology {2,2} total 4
    Primary instruction cache 64kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 32 bytes.
    Primary data cache 64kB, 4-way, PIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes
    &lt;AdEL exception here&gt;

This is early enough that the kernel exception vectors are not in use,
so any further output depends upon the bootloader. This is reproducible
in QEMU where no further output occurs - ie. the system hangs here.
Given the nature of the bug it may potentially be hit with differing
symptoms. The bug is known to affect GCC versions as recent as 7.3, and
it is unclear whether GCC 8 fixed it or just happens not to encounter
the bug in the testcase found at the link above due to differing
optimizations.

This bug can be worked around by placing a volatile asm statement, which
GCC is prevented from reordering past, prior to the
__builtin_unreachable call.

That was actually done already for other reasons by commit 173a3efd3edb
("bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()"), but creates problems for
microMIPS builds due to the lack of a .insn directive. The microMIPS ISA
allows for interlinking with regular MIPS32 code by repurposing bit 0 of
the program counter as an ISA mode bit. To switch modes one changes the
value of this bit in the PC. However typical branch instructions encode
their offsets as multiples of 2-byte instruction halfwords, which means
they cannot change ISA mode - this must be done using either an indirect
branch (a jump-register in MIPS terminology) or a dedicated jalx
instruction. In order to ensure that regular branches don't attempt to
target code in a different ISA which they can't actually switch to, the
linker will check that branch targets are code in the same ISA as the
branch.

Unfortunately our empty asm volatile statements don't qualify as code,
and the link for microMIPS builds fails with errors such as:

    arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:3265: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
    arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:5027: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode

Resolve this by adding a .insn directive within the asm statement which
declares that what comes next is code. This may or may not be true,
since we don't really know what comes next, but as this code is in an
unreachable path anyway that doesn't matter since we won't execute it.

We do this in asm/compiler.h &amp; select CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H in
order to have this included by linux/compiler_types.h after
linux/compiler-gcc.h. This will result in asm/compiler.h being included
in all C compilations via the -include linux/compiler_types.h argument
in c_flags, which should be harmless.

<title>MIPS: Avoid move psuedo-instruction whilst using MIPS_ISA_LEVEL</title>

<content type='text'>
MIPS_ISA_LEVEL is always defined as the 64 bit ISA that is a compatible
superset of the ISA that the kernel build is targeting, and is used to
allow us to emit instructions that we may detect support for at runtime.

When we use a .set MIPS_ISA_LEVEL directive &amp; are building a 32-bit
kernel, we therefore are temporarily allowing the assembler to generate
MIPS64 instructions. Using the move pseudo-instruction whilst this is
the case is problematic because the assembler is likely to emit a daddu
instruction which will generate a reserved instruction exception when
executed on a MIPS32 machine.

Unfortunately the combination of commit a0a5ac3ce8fe ("MIPS: Fix delay
slot bug in `atomic*_sub_if_positive' for R10000_LLSC_WAR") and commit
4936084c2ee2 ("MIPS: Cleanup R10000_LLSC_WAR logic in atomic.h") causes
us to do exactly this in atomic_sub_if_positive(), and the result is
MIPS64 daddu instructions in 32-bit kernels.

Fix this by using .set mips0 to restore the default ISA after the ll
instruction, and use .set MIPS_ISA_LEVEL again prior to the sc. This
ensures everything but the ll &amp; sc are assembled using the default ISA
for the kernel build &amp; the move pseudo-instruction is emitted as a
MIPS32 addu instruction.

We appear to have another pre-existing instance of the same issue in our
atomic_fetch_*_relaxed() functions, and fix that up too by moving our
.set move0 such that it occurs prior to use of the move
pseudo-instruction.

Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
 "Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19.

  An overview of the general architecture changes:

   - Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for
     deleting crufty code!).

   - We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP &amp; NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes &amp;
     corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE &amp; floating point mode state
     respectively, both for live debugging &amp; core dumps.

   - We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at
     compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision
     that the kernel build is targeting.

   - The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where
     it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value
     saved by another CPU.

   - Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6
     systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault.

   - We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache
     coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot,
     and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The
     MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() &amp;
     ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed.

   - The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP
     systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be
     running threads within the affected process switch mode.

   - Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the
     MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache
     maintenance overhead when flushing the icache.

   - A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now
     sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms.

   - Miscellaneous cleanups all over.

  And some platform-specific changes:

   - ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build
     failures for some drivers.

   - ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes &amp; better
     gpio-keys support.

   - Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver.

   - The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for
     PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree,
     allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for
     systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address.

   - Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their
     vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size.

   - Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than
     MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata.

   - Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write
     buffering issue &amp; support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU.

   - Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down.

   - Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus &amp; NOR flash, its
     second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image.

   - Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of
     duplicate or unused code"
