<title>mips: always link byteswap helpers into decompressor</title>

[ Upstream commit cddc40f5617e53f97ef019d5b29c1bd6cbb031ec ]

My series to clean up the unaligned access implementation
across architectures caused some mips randconfig builds to
fail with:

   mips64-linux-ld: arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o: in function `decompress_kernel':
   decompress.c:(.text.decompress_kernel+0x54): undefined reference to `__bswapsi2'

It turns out that this problem has already been fixed for the XZ
decompressor but now it also shows up in (at least) LZO and LZ4.  From my
analysis I concluded that the compiler could always have emitted those
calls, but the different implementation allowed it to make otherwise
better decisions about not inlining the byteswap, which results in the
link error when the out-of-line code is missing.

While it could be addressed by adding it to the two decompressor
implementations that are known to be affected, but as this only adds
112 bytes to the kernel, the safer choice is to always add them.

Fixes: 0652035a5794 ("asm-generic: unaligned: remove byteshift helpers")

commit 4d4f9c1a17a3480f8fe523673f7232b254d724b7 upstream.

The compressed payload is not necesarily 4-byte aligned, at least when
compiling with Clang. In that case, the 4-byte value appended to the
compressed payload that corresponds to the uncompressed kernel image
size must be read using get_unaligned_le32().

This fixes Clang-built kernels not booting on MIPS (tested on a Ingenic
JZ4770 board).

[ Upstream commit ff487d41036035376e47972c7c522490b839ab37 ]

LLD failed to link vmlinux with 64bit load address for 32bit ELF
while bfd will strip 64bit address into 32bit silently.
To fix LLD build, we should truncate load address provided by platform
into 32bit for 32bit kernel.

[ Upstream commit 1196364f21ffe5d1e6d83cafd6a2edb89404a3ae ]

calc_vmlinuz_load_addr.c requires SZ_64K to be defined for alignment
purposes.  It included "../../../../include/linux/sizes.h" to define
that size, however "sizes.h" tries to include &lt;linux/const.h&gt; which
assumes linux system headers.  These may not exist eg. the following
error was encountered when building Linux for OpenWrt under macOS:

In file included from arch/mips/boot/compressed/calc_vmlinuz_load_addr.c:16:
arch/mips/boot/compressed/../../../../include/linux/sizes.h:11:10: fatal error: 'linux/const.h' file not found
         ^~~~~~~~~~

Change makefile to force building on local linux headers instead of
system headers.  Also change eye-watering relative reference in include
file spec.

Thanks to Jo-Philip Wich &amp; Petr Štetiar for assistance in tracking this
down &amp; fixing.

commit bec0de4cfad21bd284dbddee016ed1767a5d2823 upstream.

KEXEC needs the new kernel's load address to be aligned on a page
boundary (see sanity_check_segment_list()), but on MIPS the default
vmlinuz load address is only explicitly aligned to 16 bytes.

Since the largest PAGE_SIZE supported by MIPS kernels is 64KB, increase
the alignment calculated by calc_vmlinuz_load_addr to 64KB.

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CC") renamed CFLAGS to KBUILD_CFLAGS.

Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to AS") renamed AFLAGS to KBUILD_AFLAGS.

Commit 06c5040cdb13 ("kbuild: enable 'make CPPFLAGS=...' to add
additional options to CPP") renamed CPPFLAGS to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS.

For some reason, LDFLAGS was not renamed.

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental
override of the variable.

Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally
appended options, so here is one more conversion to sanitize the
naming convention.

I did not touch Makefiles under tools/ since the tools build system
is a different world.

Commit a0f97e06a43c ("kbuild: enable 'make CFLAGS=...' to add

Commit 222d394d30e7 ("kbuild: enable 'make AFLAGS=...' to add

prom_putchar() is used centrally in early printk infrastructure therefore
at least MIPS should agree on the function return type.

[paul.burton@mips.com:
  - Include linux/types.h in asm/setup.h to gain the bool typedef before
    we start include asm/setup.h elsewhere.
  - Include asm/setup.h in all files that use or define prom_putchar().
  - Also standardise on signed rather than unsigned char argument.]

Pull MIPS updates from James Hogan:
 "These are the main MIPS changes for 4.18.

  Rough overview:

   - MAINTAINERS: Add Paul Burton as MIPS co-maintainer

   - Misc: Generic compiler intrinsics, Y2038 improvements, Perf+MT fixes

   - Platform support: Netgear WNR1000 V3, Microsemi Ocelot integrated
     switch, Ingenic watchdog cleanups

  More detailed  summary:

  Maintainers:

   - Add Paul Burton as MIPS co-maintainer, as I soon won't have access
     to much MIPS hardware, nor enough time to properly maintain MIPS on
     my own.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Use generic GCC library routines from lib/
     - Add notrace to generic ucmpdi2 implementation
     - Rename compiler intrinsic selects to GENERIC_LIB_*
     - vmlinuz: Use generic ashldi3

   - y2038: Convert update/read_persistent_clock() to *_clock64()
     - sni: Remove read_persistent_clock()

   - perf: Fix perf with MT counting other threads
     - Probe for per-TC perf counters in cpu-probe.c
     - Use correct VPE ID for VPE tracing

  Minor cleanups:

   - Avoid unneeded built-in.a in DTS dirs

   - sc-debugfs: Re-use kstrtobool_from_user

   - memset.S: Reinstate delay slot indentation

   - VPE: Fix spelling "uneeded" -&gt; "Unneeded"

  Platform support:

  BCM47xx:

   - Add support for Netgear WNR1000 V3

   - firmware: Support small NVRAM partitions

   - Use __initdata for LEDs platform data

  Ingenic:

   - Watchdog driver &amp; platform code improvements:
     - Disable clock after stopping counter
     - Use devm_* functions
     - Drop module remove function
     - Move platform reset code to restart handler in driver
     - JZ4740: Convert watchdog instantiation to DT
     - JZ4780: Fix watchdog DT node
     - qi_lb60_defconfig: Enable watchdog driver

   - Ocelot: Add support for integrated switch
     - pcb123: Connect phys to ports"
