LLVM-built Linux triggered a boot hangup with KASLR enabled.

arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c:get_random_boot() uses linux_banner,
which is a string constant, as a random seed, but accesses it
as an array of unsigned long (in rotate_xor()).
When the address of linux_banner is not aligned to sizeof(long),
such access emits unaligned access exception and hangs the kernel.

Use PTR_ALIGN() to align input address to sizeof(long) and also
align down the input length to prevent possible access-beyond-end.

<title>MIPS: Fix malformed NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO in 32bit coredumps</title>

<content type='text'>
Patches that introduced NT_FILE and NT_SIGINFO notes back in 2012
had taken care of native (fs/binfmt_elf.c) and compat (fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c)
coredumps; unfortunately, compat on mips (which does not go through the
usual compat_binfmt_elf.c) had not been noticed.

As the result, both N32 and O32 coredumps on 64bit mips kernels
have those sections malformed enough to confuse the living hell out of
all gdb and readelf versions (up to and including the tip of binutils-gdb.git).

Longer term solution is to make both O32 and N32 compat use the
regular compat_binfmt_elf.c, but that's too much for backports.  The minimal
solution is to do in arch/mips/kernel/binfmt_elf[on]32.c the same thing
those patches have done in fs/compat_binfmt_elf.c

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman &lt;romger@amazon.com&gt; reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

Most platforms do not need to do synci instruction operations when
synci_step is 0. But for example, the synci implementation on Loongson64
platform has some changes. On the one hand, it ensures that the memory
access instructions have been completed. On the other hand, it guarantees
that all prefetch instructions need to be fetched again. And its address
information is useless. Thus, only one synci operation is required when
synci_step is 0 on Loongson64 platform. I guess that some other platforms
have similar implementations on synci, so add judgment conditions in
`while` to ensure that at least all platforms perform synci operations
once. For those platforms that do not need synci, they just do one more
operation similar to nop.

In order to get more memblock configuration with memblock=debug in the boot
cmdline, move memblock_dump_all() to the end of setup_arch(), this can help
us to get dmi_setup() and resource_init() memblock info, at least for now.

Currently we won't migrate irqs when offline CPUs, which has been
implemented on most architectures. That will lead to some devices work
incorrectly if the bound cores are offline.

While that can be easily supported by enabling GENERIC_IRQ_MIGRATION.
But i don't pretty known the reason it was not supported on all MIPS
platforms.

This patch add the support for irq migration on MIPS CPS platform, and
it's tested on the interAptiv processor.
