[ Upstream commit 756d6d836dbfb04a5a486bc2ec89397aa4533737 ]

The LittleSur board is marked for high memory support and therefore
clearly must provide a way to have enough memory installed for some to
be present outside the low 4GiB physical address range.  With the memory
map of the BCM1250 SOC it has been built around it means over 1GiB of
actual DRAM, as only the first 1GiB is mapped in the low 4GiB physical
address range[1].

Complement commit cce335ae47e2 ("[MIPS] 64-bit Sibyte kernels need
DMA32.") then and also enable ZONE_DMA32 for LittleSur.

[ 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)

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.

<id>906d441febc0de974b2a6ef848a8f058f3bfada3</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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.

Move the source of lib/Kconfig.debug and arch/$(ARCH)/Kconfig.debug to
the top-level Kconfig.  For two architectures that means moving their
arch-specific symbols in that menu into a new arch Kconfig.debug file,
and for a few more creating a dummy file so that we can include it
unconditionally.

Also move the actual 'Kernel hacking' menu to lib/Kconfig.debug, where
it belongs.

Instead of duplicating the source statements in every architecture just
do it once in the toplevel Kconfig file.

Note that with this the inclusion of arch/$(SRCARCH/Kconfig moves out of
the top-level Kconfig into arch/Kconfig so that don't violate ordering
constraits while keeping a sensible menu structure.

LS232 (Loonson 2-issue 32-bit, also called GS232 (Godson 2-issue 32-bit))
is the CPU core (microarchitecture) of Loongson 1A/1B/1C.

According to "LS232 用户手册 (LS232 User Manual)", LS232 implements the
MIPS32 Release 1 instruction set, and part of the MIPS32 Release 2
instruction set.

In the manual, LS232 implements all of the MIPS32R2 instruction set
except the FPU instructions, and LS232 also implements 5 FPU
instructions of the MIPS32R2 instruction set: CEIL.L.fmt, CVT.L.fmt,
FLOOR.L.fmt, TRUNC.L.fmt, and ROUND.L.fmt.

But a bug of the DI instruction has been found during tests, the DI
instruction can not disable interrupts in arch_local_irq_disable() with
CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y and CFLAGS='-mno-branch-likely' in some cases.

[paul.burton@mips.com:
  - Remove the _MIPS_ISA redefinition to match the change made for the
    generic MIPSr1 CPUs by commit 344ebf09949c ("MIPS: Always use
    -march=&lt;arch&gt;, not -&lt;arch&gt; shortcuts").]
