Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "The two indirect syscall fixes have sat in linux-next for a few days.
  I did check back with a hardware designer to ensure a SYNC is really
  what's required for the GIC fix and so the GIC fix didn't make it into
  to linux-next in time for this final pull request.

  It builds in local build tests and passes Imagination's test system"

Calls to mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() were replaced by calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range() and are now bracketed by calls to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()/end()

Remove now useless invalidate_page callback.

If a restartable syscall is called using the indirect o32 syscall
handler - eg: syscall(__NR_waitid, ...), then it is possible for the
incorrect arguments to be passed to the syscall after it has been
restarted. This is because the syscall handler tries to shift all the
registers down one place in pt_regs so that when the syscall is restarted,
the "real" syscall is called instead. Unfortunately it only shifts the
arguments passed in registers, not the arguments on the user stack. This
causes the 4th argument to be duplicated when the syscall is restarted.

Fix by removing all the pt_regs shifting so that the indirect syscall
handler is called again when the syscall is restarted. The comment "some
syscalls like execve get their arguments from struct pt_regs" is long
out of date so this should now be safe.

Since commit 669c4092225f ("MIPS: Give __secure_computing() access to
syscall arguments."), upon syscall entry when seccomp is enabled,
syscall_trace_enter() passes a carefully prepared struct seccomp_data
containing syscall arguments to __secure_computing(). Unfortunately it
directly uses mips_get_syscall_arg() and fails to take into account the
indirect O32 system calls (i.e. syscall(2)) which put the system call
number in a0 and have the arguments shifted up by one entry.

We can't just revert that commit as samples/bpf/tracex5 would break
again, so use syscall_get_arguments() which already takes indirect
syscalls into account instead of directly using mips_get_syscall_arg(),
similar to what populate_seccomp_data() does.

This also removes the redundant error checking of the
mips_get_syscall_arg() return value (get_user() already zeroes the
result if an argument from the stack can't be loaded).

<title>MIPS: Set ISA bit in entry-y for microMIPS kernels</title>

<id>5fc9484f5e41b239d1e7a123219e53f333e43ba5</id>
<content type='text'>
When building a kernel for the microMIPS ISA, ensure that the ISA bit
(ie. bit 0) in the entry address is set. Otherwise we may include an
entry address in images which bootloaders will jump to as MIPS32 code.

I originally tried using "objdump -f" to obtain the entry address, which
works for microMIPS but it always outputs a 32 bit address for a 32 bit
ELF whilst nm will sign extend to 64 bit. That matters for systems where
we might want to run a MIPS32 kernel on a MIPS64 CPU &amp; load it with a
MIPS64 bootloader, which would then jump to a non-canonical
(non-sign-extended) address.

This works in all cases as it only changes the behaviour for microMIPS
kernels, but isn't the prettiest solution. A possible alternative would
be to write a custom tool to just extract, sign extend &amp; print the entry
point of an ELF executable. I'm open to feedback if that would be
preferred.

works for microMIPS but it always outputs a 32 bit address for a 32 bit
ELF whilst nm will sign extend to 64 bit. That matters for systems where
we might want to run a MIPS32 kernel on a MIPS64 CPU &amp; load it with a
MIPS64 bootloader, which would then jump to a non-canonical
(non-sign-extended) address.

This works in all cases as it only changes the behaviour for microMIPS
kernels, but isn't the prettiest solution. A possible alternative would
be to write a custom tool to just extract, sign extend &amp; print the entry
point of an ELF executable. I'm open to feedback if that would be
preferred.

We don't currently support the MT ASE for microMIPS kernels, and there
are no CPUs currently in existence that use both. They can however both
be enabled in Kconfig, resulting in build failures such as:

  AS      arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.o
arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.S:242: Warning: the 32-bit microMIPS architecture does not support the `mt' extension
arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.S:276: Error: unrecognized opcode `mttc0 $13,$2,2'
arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.S:282: Error: unrecognized opcode `mttc0 $8,$1,2'
arch/mips/kernel/cps-vec.S:285: Error: unrecognized opcode `mttc0 $0,$2,1'
...

Fix this by preventing MT from being enabled when targeting microMIPS.

<title>MIPS: PCI: Fix smp_processor_id() in preemptible</title>

Commit 1c3c5eab1715 ("sched/core: Enable might_sleep() and
smp_processor_id() checks early") enables checks for might_sleep() and
smp_processor_id() being used in preemptible code earlier in the boot
than before. This results in a new BUG from
pcibios_set_cache_line_size().

BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code:

Fix this by using the cpu_*cache_line_size() macros instead. These

This makes use of the newly added cpu_tcache_line_size.

There exist macros to return the cache line size of the L1 dcache and L2
scache but there is currently no macro for the L3 tcache. Add this macro
which will be used by the following patch "MIPS: PCI: Fix
