Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 - three fixes for 3.15 that didn't make it in time
 - limited Octeon 3 support.
 - paravirtualization support
 - improvment to platform support for Netlogix SOCs.
 - add support for powering down the Malta eval board in software
 - add many instructions to the in-kernel microassembler.
 - add support for the BPF JIT.
 - minor cleanups of the BCM47xx code.
 - large cleanup of math emu code resulting in significant code size
   reduction, better readability of the code and more accurate
   emulation.
 - improvments to the MIPS CPS code.
 - support C3 power status for the R4k count/compare clock device.
 - improvments to the GIO support for older SGI workstations.
 - increase number of supported CPUs to 256; this can be reached on
   certain embedded multithreaded ccNUMA configurations.
 - various small cleanups, updates and fixes

Pull DeviceTree updates from Rob Herring:
 - Another round of clean-up of FDT related code in architecture code.
   This removes knowledge of internal FDT details from most
   architectures except powerpc.
 - Conversion of kernel's custom FDT parsing code to use libfdt.
 - DT based initialization for generic serial earlycon.  The
   introduction of generic serial earlycon support went in through the
   tty tree.
 - Improve the platform device naming for DT probed devices to ensure
   unique naming and use parent names instead of a global index.
 - Fix a race condition in of_update_property.
 - Unify the various linker section OF match tables and fix several
   function prototype errors.
 - Update platform_get_irq_byname to work in deferred probe cases.
 - 2 binding doc updates

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm-&gt;mmap_sem is asking
for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be
modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the
lock (exclusively) in order to avoid races while iterating through
the vmacache and/or rbtree.

Updates two functions:
  - process_fpemu_return()
  - cteon_flush_cache_sigtramp()

Some versions of the assembler will not assemble CFC1 for OCTEON, so
override the ISA for these.

Add r4k_fpu.o to handle low level FPU initialization.

Modify octeon_switch.S to save the FPU registers.  And include
r4k_switch.S to pick up more FPU support.

Get rid of "#define cpu_has_fpu		0"

<title>MIPS: Implement random_get_entropy with CP0 Random</title>

<id>06947aaaf9bf7da0b29e211ee1a44f3ca91c08fa</id>
<content type='text'>
Update to commit 9c9b415c50bc298ac61412dff856eae2f54889ee [MIPS:
Reimplement get_cycles().]

On systems were for whatever reasons we can't use the cycle counter, fall
back to the c0_random register as an entropy source.  It has however a
very small range that makes it suitable for random_get_entropy only and
not get_cycles.

This optimised version compiles to 8 instructions in the fast path even in
the worst case of all the conditions to check being variable (including a
MFC0 move delay slot that is only required for very old processors):

     828:	8cf90000 	lw	t9,0(a3)
			828: R_MIPS_LO16	jiffies
     82c:	40057800 	mfc0	a1,c0_prid
     830:	3c0200ff 	lui	v0,0xff
     834:	00a21024 	and	v0,a1,v0
     838:	1040007d 	beqz	v0,a30 &lt;add_interrupt_randomness+0x22c&gt;
     83c:	3c030000 	lui	v1,0x0
			83c: R_MIPS_HI16	cpu_data
     840:	40024800 	mfc0	v0,c0_count
     844:	00000000 	nop
     848:	00409021 	move	s2,v0
     84c:	8ce20000 	lw	v0,0(a3)
			84c: R_MIPS_LO16	jiffies

On most targets the sequence will be shorter and on some it will reduce to
a single `MFC0 &lt;reg&gt;,c0_count', as all MIPS architecture (i.e. non-legacy
MIPS) processors require the CP0 Count register to be present.

The only known exception that reports MIPS architecture compliance, but
contrary to that lacks CP0 Count is the Ingenic JZ4740 thingy.  For broken
platforms like that this code requires cpu_has_counter to be hardcoded to
0 (i.e. no variable setting is permitted) so as not to penalise all the
other good platforms out there.

The asm barrier is required so that the compiler does not pull any
potentially costly (cold cache!) `cpu_data' variable access into the fast
path.

Update to commit 9c9b415c50bc298ac61412dff856eae2f54889ee [MIPS:
Reimplement get_cycles().]

On systems were for whatever reasons we can't use the cycle counter, fall
back to the c0_random register as an entropy source.  It has however a
very small range that makes it suitable for random_get_entropy only and
not get_cycles.

This optimised version compiles to 8 instructions in the fast path even in
the worst case of all the conditions to check being variable (including a
MFC0 move delay slot that is only required for very old processors):

     828:	8cf90000 	lw	t9,0(a3)
			828: R_MIPS_LO16	jiffies
     82c:	40057800 	mfc0	a1,c0_prid
     830:	3c0200ff 	lui	v0,0xff
     834:	00a21024 	and	v0,a1,v0
     838:	1040007d 	beqz	v0,a30 &lt;add_interrupt_randomness+0x22c&gt;
     83c:	3c030000 	lui	v1,0x0
			83c: R_MIPS_HI16	cpu_data
     840:	40024800 	mfc0	v0,c0_count
     844:	00000000 	nop
     848:	00409021 	move	s2,v0
     84c:	8ce20000 	lw	v0,0(a3)
			84c: R_MIPS_LO16	jiffies

On most targets the sequence will be shorter and on some it will reduce to
a single `MFC0 &lt;reg&gt;,c0_count', as all MIPS architecture (i.e. non-legacy
MIPS) processors require the CP0 Count register to be present.

The only known exception that reports MIPS architecture compliance, but
contrary to that lacks CP0 Count is the Ingenic JZ4740 thingy.  For broken
platforms like that this code requires cpu_has_counter to be hardcoded to
0 (i.e. no variable setting is permitted) so as not to penalise all the
other good platforms out there.

The asm barrier is required so that the compiler does not pull any
potentially costly (cold cache!) `cpu_data' variable access into the fast
path.

Add support for the XLP5XX processor which is an 8 core variant of the
XLP9XX. Add XLP5XX cases to code which earlier handled XLP9XX.
