[ Upstream commit e4849aff1e169b86c561738daf8ff020e9de1011 ]

The Broadcom SiByte BCM1250, BCM1125, and BCM1125H SOCs have an onchip
DRAM controller that supports memory amounts of up to 16GiB, and due to
how the address decoder has been wired in the SOC any memory beyond 1GiB
is actually mapped starting from 4GiB physical up, that is beyond the
32-bit addressable limit[1].  Consequently if the maximum amount of
memory has been installed, then it will span up to 19GiB.

Many of the evaluation boards we support that are based on one of these
SOCs have their memory soldered and the amount present fits in the
32-bit address range.  The BCM91250A SWARM board however has actual DIMM
slots and accepts, depending on the peripherals revision of the SOC, up
to 4GiB or 8GiB of memory in commercially available JEDEC modules[2].
I believe this is also the case with the BCM91250C2 LittleSur board.
This means that up to either 3GiB or 7GiB of memory requires 64-bit
addressing to access.

I believe the BCM91480B BigSur board, which has the BCM1480 SOC instead,
accepts at least as much memory, although I have no documentation or
actual hardware available to verify that.

Both systems have PCI slots installed for use by any PCI option boards,
including ones that only support 32-bit addressing (additionally the
32-bit PCI host bridge of the BCM1250, BCM1125, and BCM1125H SOCs limits
addressing to 32-bits), and there is no IOMMU available.  Therefore for
PCI DMA to work in the presence of memory beyond enable swiotlb for the
affected systems.

All the other SOC onchip DMA devices use 40-bit addressing and therefore
can address the whole memory, so only enable swiotlb if PCI support and
support for DMA beyond 4GiB have been both enabled in the configuration
of the kernel.

This shows up as follows:

Broadcom SiByte BCM1250 B2 @ 800 MHz (SB1 rev 2)
Board type: SiByte BCM91250A (SWARM)
Determined physical RAM map:
 memory: 000000000fe7fe00 @ 0000000000000000 (usable)

in the bootstrap log and removes failures like these:

when memory beyond 4GiB is handed out to devices that can only do 32-bit
addressing.

commit 5a9372f751b5350e0ce3d2ee91832f1feae2c2e5 upstream.

While reading through the sysvipc implementation, I noticed that the n32
semctl/shmctl/msgctl system calls behave differently based on whether
o32 support is enabled or not: Without o32, the IPC_64 flag passed by
user space is rejected but calls without that flag get IPC_64 behavior.

As far as I can tell, this was inadvertently changed by a cleanup patch
but never noticed by anyone, possibly nobody has tried using sysvipc
on n32 after linux-3.19.

Change it back to the old behavior now.

<title>MIPS: Workaround GCC __builtin_unreachable reordering bug</title>

[ Upstream commit 906d441febc0de974b2a6ef848a8f058f3bfada3 ]

Some versions of GCC for the MIPS architecture suffer from a bug which
can lead to instructions from beyond an unreachable statement being
incorrectly reordered into earlier branch delay slots if the unreachable
statement is the only content of a case in a switch statement. This can
lead to seemingly random behaviour, such as invalid memory accesses from
incorrectly reordered loads or stores, and link failures on microMIPS
builds.

See this potential GCC fix for details:

    https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2015-09/msg00360.html

Runtime problems resulting from this bug were initially observed using a
maltasmvp_defconfig v4.4 kernel built using GCC 4.9.2 (from a Codescape
SDK 2015.06-05 toolchain), with the result being an address exception
taken after log messages about the L1 caches (during probe of the L2
cache):

    Initmem setup node 0 [mem 0x0000000080000000-0x000000009fffffff]
    VPE topology {2,2} total 4
    Primary instruction cache 64kB, VIPT, 4-way, linesize 32 bytes.
    Primary data cache 64kB, 4-way, PIPT, no aliases, linesize 32 bytes
    &lt;AdEL exception here&gt;

This is early enough that the kernel exception vectors are not in use,
so any further output depends upon the bootloader. This is reproducible
in QEMU where no further output occurs - ie. the system hangs here.
Given the nature of the bug it may potentially be hit with differing
symptoms. The bug is known to affect GCC versions as recent as 7.3, and
it is unclear whether GCC 8 fixed it or just happens not to encounter
the bug in the testcase found at the link above due to differing
optimizations.

This bug can be worked around by placing a volatile asm statement, which
GCC is prevented from reordering past, prior to the
__builtin_unreachable call.

That was actually done already for other reasons by commit 173a3efd3edb
("bug.h: work around GCC PR82365 in BUG()"), but creates problems for
microMIPS builds due to the lack of a .insn directive. The microMIPS ISA
allows for interlinking with regular MIPS32 code by repurposing bit 0 of
the program counter as an ISA mode bit. To switch modes one changes the
value of this bit in the PC. However typical branch instructions encode
their offsets as multiples of 2-byte instruction halfwords, which means
they cannot change ISA mode - this must be done using either an indirect
branch (a jump-register in MIPS terminology) or a dedicated jalx
instruction. In order to ensure that regular branches don't attempt to
target code in a different ISA which they can't actually switch to, the
linker will check that branch targets are code in the same ISA as the
branch.

Unfortunately our empty asm volatile statements don't qualify as code,
and the link for microMIPS builds fails with errors such as:

    arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:3265: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode
    arch/mips/mm/dma-default.s:5027: Error: branch to a symbol in another ISA mode

Resolve this by adding a .insn directive within the asm statement which
declares that what comes next is code. This may or may not be true,
since we don't really know what comes next, but as this code is in an
unreachable path anyway that doesn't matter since we won't execute it.

We do this in asm/compiler.h &amp; select CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_COMPILER_H in
order to have this included by linux/compiler_types.h after
linux/compiler-gcc.h. This will result in asm/compiler.h being included
in all C compilations via the -include linux/compiler_types.h argument
in c_flags, which should be harmless.

commit 2e6522c565522a2e18409c315c49d78c8b74807b upstream.

MIPS_GENERIC selects some options conditional on BIG_ENDIAN which does
not exist.

Replace BIG_ENDIAN with CPU_BIG_ENDIAN which is the correct kconfig
name. Note that BMIPS_GENERIC does the same which confirms that this
patch is needed.

commit a3f143106596d739e7fbc4b84c96b1475247d876 upstream.

__cmpxchg64_local_generic() is atomic only w.r.t tasks and interrupts
on the same CPU (that's what the 'local' means).  We can't use it to
implement cmpxchg64() in SMP configurations.

So, for 32-bit SMP configurations:

- Don't define cmpxchg64()
- Don't enable HAVE_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_GEN, which requires it

Fixes: bb877e96bea1 ("MIPS: Add support for full dynticks CPU time accounting")

<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<title>MIPS: Make CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP default y</title>

<content type='text'>
On systems that support MT ASE multithreading (ie. VPEs) we are very
likely to want to include that support as default. Rather than setting
it in various defconfigs, simply make CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP default y such
that systems which select CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_MULTITHREADING get it by
default.

As well as allowing us to remove the selection of CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP
from various defconfigs, this also allows the generated generic
defconfigs which derive from generic_defconfig to automatically gain
support for MT ASE SMP when building for a suitable (pre-MIPSr6) ISA.

For malta_kvm_guest_defconfig CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP is explicitly disabled
since enabling SMP implicitly disables CONFIG_KVM_GUEST, which depends
on CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP.

Users of these functions are modified only such that they continue to

Move _save_fp(), _restore_fp(), _save_msa(), _restore_msa(),
_init_msa_upper() &amp; _init_fpu() out of r4k_switch.S &amp; into r4k_fpu.S.
This allows us to clean up the way in which Octeon includes the default
r4k implementations of these FP functions despite replacing resume(),
and makes CONFIG_R4K_FPU more straightforwardly represent all
configurations that have an R4K-style FPU, including Octeon.

Besides cleaning up this will be useful for later patches which disable

The kernel contains a small amount of incomplete code aimed at
supporting old R6000 CPUs. This is:

  - Unused, as no machine selects CONFIG_SYS_HAS_CPU_R6000.

  - Broken, since there are glaring errors such as r6000_fpu.S moving
    the FCSR register to t1, then ignoring it &amp; instead saving t0 into
    struct sigcontext...

  - A maintenance headache, since it's code that nobody can test which
    nevertheless imposes constraints on code which it shares with other
    machines.

Remove this incomplete &amp; broken R6000 CPU support in order to clean up
and in preparation for changes which will no longer need to consider
dragging the pretense of R6000 support along with them.
