This ioctl does nothing to justify an _IOC_READ or _IOC_WRITE flag
because it doesn't copy anything from/to userspace to access the
argument.

<title>MIPS: do not use __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 request</title>

<id>473738eb78c3e379d682fb8a3cf7e1d17beded9f</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: give __GFP_REPEAT a better semantic".

The main motivation for the change is that the current implementation of
__GFP_REPEAT is not very much useful.

The documentation says:
 * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
 *   _might_ fail.  This depends upon the particular VM implementation.

It just fails to mention that this is true only for large (costly) high
order which has been the case since the flag was introduced.  A similar
semantic would be really helpful for smal orders as well, though,
because we have places where a failure with a specific fallback error
handling is preferred to a potential endless loop inside the page
allocator.

The earlier cleanup dropped __GFP_REPEAT usage for low (!costly) order
users so only those which might use larger orders have stayed.  One new
user added in the meantime is addressed in patch 1.

Let's rename the flag to something more verbose and use it for existing
users.  Semantic for those will not change.  Then implement low
(!costly) orders failure path which is hit after the page allocator is
about to invoke the oom killer.  With that we have a good counterpart
for __GFP_NORETRY and finally can tell try as hard as possible without
the OOM killer.

Xfs code already has an existing annotation for allocations which are
allowed to fail and we can trivially map them to the new gfp flag
because it will provide the semantic KM_MAYFAIL wants.  Christoph didn't
consider the new flag really necessary but didn't respond to the OOM
killer aspect of the change so I have kept the patch.  If this is still
seen as not really needed I can drop the patch.

kvmalloc will allow also !costly high order allocations to retry hard
before falling back to the vmalloc.

drm/i915 asked for the new semantic explicitly.

Memory migration code, especially for the memory hotplug, should back
off rather than invoking the OOM killer as well.

This patch (of 6):

Commit 3377e227af44 ("MIPS: Add 48-bit VA space (and 4-level page
tables) for 4K pages.") has added a new __GFP_REPEAT user but using this
flag doesn't really make any sense for order-0 request which is the case
here because PUD_ORDER is 0.  __GFP_REPEAT has historically effect only
on allocation requests with order &gt; PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER.

This doesn't introduce any functional change.  This is a preparatory
patch for later work which renames the flag and redefines its semantic.

<title>MIPS: Fix MIPS I ISA /proc/cpuinfo reporting</title>

<content type='text'>
Correct a commit 515a6393dbac ("MIPS: kernel: proc: Add MIPS R6 support
to /proc/cpuinfo") regression that caused MIPS I systems to show no ISA
levels supported in /proc/cpuinfo, e.g.:

system type		: Digital DECstation 2100/3100
machine			: Unknown
processor		: 0
cpu model		: R3000 V2.0  FPU V2.0
BogoMIPS		: 10.69
wait instruction	: no
microsecond timers	: no
tlb_entries		: 64
extra interrupt vector	: no
hardware watchpoint	: no
isa			:
ASEs implemented	:
shadow register sets	: 1
kscratch registers	: 0
package			: 0
core			: 0
VCED exceptions		: not available
VCEI exceptions		: not available

and similarly exclude `mips1' from the ISA list for any processors below
MIPSr1.  This is because the condition to show `mips1' on has been made
`cpu_has_mips_r1' rather than newly-introduced `cpu_has_mips_1'.  Use
the correct condition then.

Commit db8466c581cc ("MIPS: IRQ Stack: Unwind IRQ stack onto task
stack") erroneously set the initial stack pointer of the IRQ stack to a
value with a 4 byte alignment. The MIPS32 ABI requires that the minimum
stack alignment is 8 byte, and the MIPS64 ABIs(n32/n64) require 16 byte
minimum alignment. Fix IRQ_STACK_START such that it leaves space for the
dummy stack frame (containing interrupted task kernel stack pointer)
while also meeting minimum alignment requirements.

<title>MIPS: generic: Support MIPS Boston development boards</title>

<id>6e62a888029b4adbbc55894eaa8b929221113948</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for the MIPS Boston development board to generic kernels,
which essentially amounts to:

  - Adding the device tree source for the MIPS Boston board.

  - Adding a Kconfig fragment which enables the appropriate drivers for
    the MIPS Boston board.

With these changes in place generic kernels will support the board by
default, and kernels with only the drivers needed for Boston enabled can
be configured by setting BOARDS=boston during configuration. For
example:

  $ make ARCH=mips 64r6el_defconfig BOARDS=boston

<title>MIPS: DTS: img: Don't attempt to build-in all .dtb files</title>

When building a FIT image we may want the kernel to build multiple .dtb
files, but we don't want to build them all into the kernel binary as
object files since they'll instead be included in the FIT image.

Commit daa10170da27 ("MIPS: DTS: img: add device tree for Marduk board")
however created arch/mips/boot/dts/img/Makefile with a line that builds
any enabled .dtb files into the kernel. Remove this &amp; build the
pistachio object specifically, in preparation for adding .dtb targets
which we don't want to build into the kernel.

<title>MIPS: Traced negative syscalls should return -ENOSYS</title>

If a negative system call number is used when system call tracing is
enabled, syscall_trace_enter() will return that negative system call
number without having written the return value and error flag into the
pt_regs.

The caller then treats it as a cancelled system call and assumes that
the return value and error flag are already written, leaving the
negative system call number in the return register ($v0), and the 4th
system call argument in the error register ($a3).

Add a special case to detect this at the end of syscall_trace_enter(),
to set the return value to error -ENOSYS when this happens.
