Pull MIPS fixes from Paul Burton:

  - 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
    the __multi3 intrinsic to GCC 7 &amp; below, rather than just GCC 7.

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"

<title>MIPS: Consistently declare TLB functions</title>

<id>4bcb4ad6634ea1084faa630fe35d72f75b5e80fa</id>
<content type='text'>
Since at least the beginning of the git era we've declared our TLB
exception handling functions inconsistently. They're actually functions,
but we declare them as arrays of u32 where each u32 is an encoded
instruction. This has always been the case for arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c, and
has also been true for arch/mips/kernel/traps.c since commit
86a1708a9d54 ("MIPS: Make tlb exception handler definitions and
declarations match.") which aimed for consistency but did so by
consistently making the our C code inconsistent with our assembly.

This is all usually harmless, but when using GCC 7 or newer to build a
kernel targeting microMIPS (ie. CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS=y) it becomes
problematic. With microMIPS bit 0 of the program counter indicates the
ISA mode. When bit 0 is zero instructions are decoded using the standard
MIPS32 or MIPS64 ISA. When bit 0 is one instructions are decoded using
microMIPS. This means that function pointers become odd - their least
significant bit is one for microMIPS code. We work around this in cases
where we need to access code using loads &amp; stores with our
msk_isa16_mode() macro which simply clears bit 0 of the value it is
given:

  #define msk_isa16_mode(x) ((x) &amp; ~0x1)

For example we do this for our TLB load handler in
build_r4000_tlb_load_handler():

  u32 *p = (u32 *)msk_isa16_mode((ulong)handle_tlbl);

We then write code to p, expecting it to be suitably aligned (our LEAF
macro aligns functions on 4 byte boundaries, so (ulong)handle_tlbl will
give a value one greater than a multiple of 4 - ie. the start of a
function on a 4 byte boundary, with the ISA mode bit 0 set).

This worked fine up to GCC 6, but GCC 7 &amp; onwards is smart enough to
presume that handle_tlbl which we declared as an array of u32s must be
aligned sufficiently that bit 0 of its address will never be set, and as
a result optimize out msk_isa16_mode(). This leads to p having an
address with bit 0 set, and when we go on to attempt to store code at
that address we take an address error exception due to the unaligned
memory access.

This leads to an exception prior to the kernel having configured its own
exception handlers, so we jump to whatever handlers the bootloader
configured. In the case of QEMU this results in a silent hang, since it
has no useful general exception vector.

Fix this by consistently declaring our TLB-related functions as
functions. For handle_tlbl(), handle_tlbs() &amp; handle_tlbm() we do this
in asm/tlbex.h &amp; we make use of the existing declaration of
tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd() in asm/mmu_context.h. Our TLB handler
generation code in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c is adjusted to deal with these
definitions, in most cases simply by casting the function pointers to
u32 pointers.

This allows us to include asm/mmu_context.h in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c to
get the definitions of tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd &amp; pgd_current, removing
some needless duplication. Consistently using msk_isa16_mode() on
function pointers means we no longer need the
tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd_start symbol so that is removed entirely.

Now that we're declaring our functions as functions GCC stops optimizing
out msk_isa16_mode() &amp; a microMIPS kernel built with either GCC 7.3.0 or
8.1.0 boots successfully.

<title>MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()</title>

<id>5a267832c2ec47b2dad0fdb291a96bb5b8869315</id>
<content type='text'>
The generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() function calls show_regs() when a struct
pt_regs is available, and dump_stack() otherwise. If we were to make use
of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() with MIPS' current implementation of
show_regs() this would mean that we see only register data with no
accompanying stack information, in contrast with our current
implementation which calls dump_stack() regardless of whether register
state is available.

In preparation for making use of the generic nmi_cpu_backtrace() to
implement arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace(), have our implementation of
show_regs() call dump_stack() and drop the explicit dump_stack() call in
arch_dump_stack() which is invoked by arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace().

This will allow the output we produce to remain the same after a later
patch switches to using nmi_cpu_backtrace(). It may mean that we produce
extra stack output in other uses of show_regs(), but this:

  1) Seems harmless.
  2) Is good for consistency between arch_trigger_cpumask_backtrace()
     and other users of show_regs().
  3) Matches the behaviour of the ARM &amp; PowerPC architectures.

Marked for stable back to v4.9 as a prerequisite of the following patch
"MIPS: Call dump_stack() from show_regs()".

<title>MIPS: Schedule on CPUs we need to lose FPU for a mode switch</title>

Commit 6b8322576e9d ("MIPS: Force CPUs to lose FP context during mode
switches") ensures that we react to PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl syscalls
quickly by broadcasting an IPI in order to cause CPUs to lose FPU access
when necessary. Whilst it achieves that, unfortunately it causes all
sorts of strange race conditions because:

 1) The IPI may arrive at a point where the FPU is in the process of
    being enabled, but that process is not yet complete leading to a
    state we aren't prepared to handle. For example:

 2) The IPI may arrive during kernel use of the FPU, since we generally
    only disable preemption around use of the FPU &amp; leave interrupts
    enabled. This can lead to us unexpectedly losing access to the FPU
    in places where it previously had not been possible. For example:

At first glance a simple fix may seem to be to disable interrupts around
kernel use of the FPU rather than merely preemption, however this would
introduce further overhead outside of the mode switch path &amp; doesn't
solve the third problem:

 3) The IPI may arrive whilst the kernel is running code that will lead
    to a preempt_disable() call &amp; FPU usage soon. If this happens then
    the IPI will be serviced &amp; we'll proceed to enable an FPU whilst the
    mode switch is in progress, leading to strange &amp; inconsistent
    behaviour.

Further to all of this is a separate but related problem:

 4) There are various paths through which we may enable the FPU without
    the user having triggered a coprocessor 1 disabled exception. These
    paths are those in which we emulate instructions &amp; then enable the
    FPU with the expectation that the user might execute an FP
    instruction shortly afterwards. However these paths have not
    previously checked whether an FP mode switch is underway for the
    task, and therefore could enable the FPU whilst such a mode switch
    is in progress leading to strange &amp; inconsistent behaviour for user
    code.

This patch fixes all of the above by taking a step back &amp; re-examining
our approach to FP mode switches. Up until now we have taken these basic
steps:

 a) Prevent any threads that are part of the affected process from being
    able to obtain ownership of the FPU.

 b) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already
    have ownership of an FPU to lose it.

 c) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected
    process to reflect the new FP mode.

 d) Allow threads to obtain ownership of the FPU again.

This approach is however more complex than necessary. All that we really
require is that the mode switch has occurred for all threads that are
part of the affected process before mips_set_process_fp_mode(), and thus
the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl() syscall, returns. This doesn't require that
we stop threads from owning or using an FPU whilst a mode switch occurs,
only that we force them to relinquish it after the mode switch has
occurred such that they next own an FPU with the correct mode
configured. Our basic steps therefore simplify to:

 A) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected
    process to reflect the new FP mode.

 B) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already
    have ownership of an FPU to lose it.

We implement B) by forcing each CPU which might be running a thread
which is part of the affected process to schedule a no-op function,
which causes the affected thread to lose its FPU ownership when it is
descheduled.

The end result is simpler FP mode switching with less overhead in the
FPU enable path (ie. enable_restore_fp_context()) and fewer moving
parts.

Commit 6b8322576e9d ("MIPS: Force CPUs to lose FP context during mode
switches") ensures that we react to PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl syscalls
quickly by broadcasting an IPI in order to cause CPUs to lose FPU access
when necessary. Whilst it achieves that, unfortunately it causes all
sorts of strange race conditions because:

 1) The IPI may arrive at a point where the FPU is in the process of
    being enabled, but that process is not yet complete leading to a
    state we aren't prepared to handle. For example:

    enabled. This can lead to us unexpectedly losing access to the FPU
    in places where it previously had not been possible. For example:

    [&lt;80105c20&gt;] ret_from_exception+0x0/0x10

At first glance a simple fix may seem to be to disable interrupts around
kernel use of the FPU rather than merely preemption, however this would
introduce further overhead outside of the mode switch path &amp; doesn't
solve the third problem:

 3) The IPI may arrive whilst the kernel is running code that will lead
    to a preempt_disable() call &amp; FPU usage soon. If this happens then
    the IPI will be serviced &amp; we'll proceed to enable an FPU whilst the
    mode switch is in progress, leading to strange &amp; inconsistent
    behaviour.

Further to all of this is a separate but related problem:

 4) There are various paths through which we may enable the FPU without
    the user having triggered a coprocessor 1 disabled exception. These
    paths are those in which we emulate instructions &amp; then enable the
    FPU with the expectation that the user might execute an FP
    instruction shortly afterwards. However these paths have not
    previously checked whether an FP mode switch is underway for the
    task, and therefore could enable the FPU whilst such a mode switch
    is in progress leading to strange &amp; inconsistent behaviour for user
    code.

This patch fixes all of the above by taking a step back &amp; re-examining
our approach to FP mode switches. Up until now we have taken these basic
steps:

 a) Prevent any threads that are part of the affected process from being
    able to obtain ownership of the FPU.

 b) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already
    have ownership of an FPU to lose it.

 c) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected
    process to reflect the new FP mode.

 d) Allow threads to obtain ownership of the FPU again.

This approach is however more complex than necessary. All that we really
require is that the mode switch has occurred for all threads that are
part of the affected process before mips_set_process_fp_mode(), and thus
the PR_SET_FP_MODE prctl() syscall, returns. This doesn't require that
we stop threads from owning or using an FPU whilst a mode switch occurs,
only that we force them to relinquish it after the mode switch has
occurred such that they next own an FPU with the correct mode
configured. Our basic steps therefore simplify to:

 A) Set the thread flags for each thread that is part of the affected
    process to reflect the new FP mode.

 B) Cause any threads that are part of the affected process and already
    have ownership of an FPU to lose it.

We implement B) by forcing each CPU which might be running a thread
which is part of the affected process to schedule a no-op function,
which causes the affected thread to lose its FPU ownership when it is
descheduled.

The end result is simpler FP mode switching with less overhead in the
FPU enable path (ie. enable_restore_fp_context()) and fewer moving
parts.

Filling in struct siginfo before calling force_sig_info a tedious and
error prone process, where once in a great while the wrong fields
are filled out, and siginfo has been inconsistently cleared.

Simplify this process by using the helper force_sig_fault.  Which
takes as a parameters all of the information it needs, ensures
all of the fiddly bits of filling in struct siginfo are done properly
and then calls force_sig_info.

In short about a 5 line reduction in code for every time force_sig_info
is called, which makes the calling function clearer.

<title>signal: Don't use structure initializers for struct siginfo</title>

The siginfo structure has all manners of holes with the result that a
structure initializer is not guaranteed to initialize all of the bits.
As we have to copy the structure to userspace don't even try to use
a structure initializer.  Instead use clear_siginfo followed by initializing
selected fields.  This gives a guarantee that uninitialized kernel memory
is not copied to userspace.

Make wait_on_atomic_t() pass the TASK_* mode onto its action function as an
extra argument and make it 'unsigned int throughout.

Also, consolidate a bunch of identical action functions into a default
function that can do the appropriate thing for the mode.

Also, change the argument name in the bit_wait*() function declarations to
reflect the fact that it's the mode and not the bit number.

[Peter Z gives this a grudging ACK, but thinks that the whole atomic_t wait
should be done differently, though he's not immediately sure as to how]
