To make use of per_cpu variables in interrupt code per_cpu_init() must
be done after setup_per_cpu_areas(). This is achieved by calling it
in smp_prepare_boot_cpu() via a new smp_ops method.

<title>MIPS: MemoryMapID (MMID) Support</title>

<id>c8790d657b0a8d42801fb4536f6f106b4b6306e8</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce support for using MemoryMapIDs (MMIDs) as an alternative to
Address Space IDs (ASIDs). The major difference between the two is that
MMIDs are global - ie. an MMID uniquely identifies an address space
across all coherent CPUs. In contrast ASIDs are non-global per-CPU IDs,
wherein each address space is allocated a separate ASID for each CPU
upon which it is used. This global namespace allows a new GINVT
instruction be used to globally invalidate TLB entries associated with a
particular MMID across all coherent CPUs in the system, removing the
need for IPIs to invalidate entries with separate ASIDs on each CPU.

The allocation scheme used here is largely borrowed from arm64 (see
arch/arm64/mm/context.c). In essence we maintain a bitmap to track
available MMIDs, and MMIDs in active use at the time of a rollover to a
new MMID version are preserved in the new version. The allocation scheme
requires efficient 64 bit atomics in order to perform reasonably, so
this support depends upon CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64=n (ie. currently it
will only be included in MIPS64 kernels).

The first, and currently only, available CPU with support for MMIDs is
the MIPS I6500. This CPU supports 16 bit MMIDs, and so for now we cap
our MMIDs to 16 bits wide in order to prevent the bitmap growing to
absurd sizes if any future CPU does implement 32 bit MMIDs as the
architecture manuals suggest is recommended.

When MMIDs are in use we also make use of GINVT instruction which is
available due to the global nature of MMIDs. By executing a sequence of
GINVT &amp; SYNC 0x14 instructions we can avoid the overhead of an IPI to
each remote CPU in many cases. One complication is that GINVT will
invalidate wired entries (in all cases apart from type 0, which targets
the entire TLB). In order to avoid GINVT invalidating any wired TLB
entries we set up, we make sure to create those entries using a reserved
MMID (0) that we never associate with any address space.

Also of note is that KVM will require further work in order to support
MMIDs &amp; GINVT, since KVM is involved in allocating IDs for guests &amp; in
configuring the MMU. That work is not part of this patch, so for now
when MMIDs are in use KVM is disabled.

<title>MIPS: mm: Add set_cpu_context() for ASID assignments</title>

When we gain MMID support we'll be storing MMIDs as atomic64_t values
and accessing them via atomic64_* functions. This necessitates that we
don't use cpu_context() as the left hand side of an assignment, ie. as a
modifiable lvalue. In preparation for this introduce a new
set_cpu_context() function &amp; replace all assignments with cpu_context()
on their left hand side with an equivalent call to set_cpu_context().

To enforce that cpu_context() should not be used for assignments, we
rewrite it as a static inline function.

All 3 variants of local_flush_tlb_mm() are now effectively simple calls
to drop_mmu_context(). Remove them and use drop_mmu_context() directly.

Commit 6f542ebeaee0 ("MIPS: Fix race on setting and getting
cpu_online_mask") effectively reverted commit 8f46cca1e6c06 ("MIPS: SMP:
Fix possibility of deadlock when bringing CPUs online") and thus has
reinstated the possibility of deadlock.

The commit was based on testing of kernel v4.4, where the CPU hotplug
core code issued a BUG() if the starting CPU is not marked online when
the boot CPU returns from __cpu_up. The commit fixes this race (in
v4.4), but re-introduces the deadlock situation.

As noted in the commit message, upstream differs in this area. Commit
8df3e07e7f21f ("cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu bring itself fully up")
adds a completion event in the CPU hotplug core code, making this race
impossible. However, people were unhappy with relying on the core code
to do the right thing.

To address the issues both commits were trying to fix, add a second
completion event in the MIPS smp hotplug path. It removes the
possibility of a race, since the MIPS smp hotplug code now synchronises
both the boot and secondary CPUs before they return to the hotplug core
code. It also addresses the deadlock by ensuring that the secondary CPU
is not marked online before it's counters are synchronised.

This fix should also be backported to fix the race condition introduced
by the backport of commit 8f46cca1e6c06 ("MIPS: SMP: Fix possibility of
deadlock when bringing CPUs online"), through really that race only
existed before commit 8df3e07e7f21f ("cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu
bring itself fully up").

possibility of a race, since the MIPS smp hotplug code now synchronises
both the boot and secondary CPUs before they return to the hotplug core
code. It also addresses the deadlock by ensuring that the secondary CPU
is not marked online before it's counters are synchronised.

This fix should also be backported to fix the race condition introduced
by the backport of commit 8f46cca1e6c06 ("MIPS: SMP: Fix possibility of
deadlock when bringing CPUs online"), through really that race only
existed before commit 8df3e07e7f21f ("cpu/hotplug: Let upcoming cpu
bring itself fully up").

<title>MIPS: generic: Fix compilation error from include asm/mips-cpc.h</title>

Commit e83f7e02af50c ("MIPS: CPS: Have asm/mips-cps.h include CM &amp; CPC
headers") adds a #error to arch/mips/include/asm/mips-cpc.h if it is
included directly. While this commit replaced almost all direct includes
of mips-cm.h and mips-cpc.h, 2 remain.

With some defconfigs, mips-cps.h is indirectly included before
mips-cpc.h, but in others this results in compilation errors:

In file included from arch/mips/generic/init.c:23:0:
./arch/mips/include/asm/mips-cpc.h:12:3: error: #error Please include
asm/mips-cps.h rather than asm/mips-cpc.h
 # error Please include asm/mips-cps.h rather than asm/mips-cpc.h

In file included from arch/mips/kernel/smp.c:23:0:
./arch/mips/include/asm/mips-cpc.h:12:3: error: #error Please include
asm/mips-cps.h rather than asm/mips-cpc.h
 # error Please include asm/mips-cps.h rather than asm/mips-cpc.h

In both cases, fix this by including mips-cps.h instead.

<title>MIPS: SMP: Allow boot_secondary SMP op to return errors</title>

<id>d595d423d06071bd7a4892c3c2f16bfe1d5b3a85</id>
<content type='text'>
Allow the boot_secondary SMP op to return an error to __cpu_up(), which
will in turn return it to its caller.

This will allow SMP implementations to return errors quickly in cases
they they know have failed, rather than relying upon __cpu_up()
eventually timing out waiting for the cpu_running completion.

Allow the boot_secondary SMP op to return an error to __cpu_up(), which
will in turn return it to its caller.

This will allow SMP implementations to return errors quickly in cases
they they know have failed, rather than relying upon __cpu_up()
eventually timing out waiting for the cpu_running completion.
