[ Upstream commit 12051b318bc3ce5b42d6d786191008284b067d83 ]

The code in question is modifying a variable declared const through
pointer manipulation.  Such code is explicitly undefined behavior, and
is the lone issue preventing malta_defconfig from booting when built
with Clang:

If an attempt is made to modify an object defined with a const-qualified
type through use of an lvalue with non-const-qualified type, the
behavior is undefined.

LLVM is removing such assignments. A simple fix is to not declare
variables const that you plan on modifying.  Limiting the scope would be
a better method of preventing unwanted writes to such a variable.

Further, the code in question mentions "compiler bugs" without any links
to bug reports, so it is difficult to know if the issue is resolved in
GCC. The patch was authored in 2006, which would have been GCC 4.0.3 or
4.1.1. The minimal supported version of GCC in the Linux kernel is
currently 4.6.

For what its worth, there was UB before the commit in question, it just
added a barrier and got lucky IRT codegen. I don't think there's any
actual compiler bugs related, just runtime bugs due to UB.

[ Upstream commit 682fee802843b332f9c51ffc8e062de5ff773f2e ]

Trying to register the DSP platform device results in a null pointer
access:

[    0.124184] CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 804e305c, ra == 804e6f20
[    0.135208] Oops[#1]:
[    0.137514] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper Not tainted 4.14.87
...
[    0.197117] epc   : 804e305c bcm63xx_dsp_register+0x80/0xa4
[    0.202838] ra    : 804e6f20 board_register_devices+0x258/0x390
...

This happens because it tries to copy the passed platform data over the
platform_device's unpopulated platform_data.

Since this code has been broken since its submission, no driver was ever
submitted for it, and apparently nobody was using it, just remove it
instead of trying to fix it.

<title>MIPS: Avoid VDSO ABI breakage due to global register variable</title>

commit bbcc5672b0063b0e9d65dc8787a4f09c3b5bb5cc upstream.

Declaring __current_thread_info as a global register variable has the
effect of preventing GCC from saving &amp; restoring its value in cases
where the ABI would typically do so.

To quote GCC documentation:

&gt; If the register is a call-saved register, call ABI is affected: the
&gt; register will not be restored in function epilogue sequences after the
&gt; variable has been assigned. Therefore, functions cannot safely return
&gt; to callers that assume standard ABI.

When our position independent VDSO is built for the n32 or n64 ABIs all
functions it exposes should be preserving the value of $gp/$28 for their
caller, but in the presence of the __current_thread_info global register
variable GCC stops doing so &amp; simply clobbers $gp/$28 when calculating
the address of the GOT.

In cases where the VDSO returns success this problem will typically be
masked by the caller in libc returning &amp; restoring $gp/$28 itself, but
that is by no means guaranteed. In cases where the VDSO returns an error
libc will typically contain a fallback path which will now fail
(typically with a bad memory access) if it attempts anything which
relies upon the value of $gp/$28 - eg. accessing anything via the GOT.

One fix for this would be to move the declaration of
__current_thread_info inside the current_thread_info() function,
demoting it from global register variable to local register variable &amp;
avoiding inadvertently creating a non-standard calling ABI for the VDSO.
Unfortunately this causes issues for clang, which doesn't support local
register variables as pointed out by commit fe92da0f355e ("MIPS: Changed
current_thread_info() to an equivalent supported by both clang and GCC")
which introduced the global register variable before we had a VDSO to
worry about.

Instead, fix this by continuing to use the global register variable for
the kernel proper but declare __current_thread_info as a simple extern
variable when building the VDSO. It should never be referenced, and will
cause a link error if it is. This resolves the calling convention issue
for the VDSO without having any impact upon the build of the kernel
itself for either clang or gcc.

[ Upstream commit a6da4d6fdf8bd512c98d3ac7f1d16bc4bb282919 ]

We can rely on the system kernel and the dump capture kernel themselves in
memory usage.

Being restrictive with 512MB limit may cause kexec tool failure on some
platforms.

[ Upstream commit e4f5cb1a9b27c0f94ef4f5a0178a3fde2d3d0e9e ]

The vectors span more than one byte, so mark them as arrays.

Fixes the following build error when building when using GCC 8.3:

[ Upstream commit 46f1619500d022501a4f0389f9f4c349ab46bb86 ]

Commit ac7c3e4ff401 ("compiler: enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING
forcibly") allows compiler to uninline functions marked as 'inline'.
In cace of __xchg this would cause to reference function
__xchg_called_with_bad_pointer, which is an error case
for catching bugs and will not happen for correct code, if
__xchg is inlined.

commit d2f965549006acb865c4638f1f030ebcefdc71f6 upstream.

Recently, binutils had split Loongson-3 Extensions into four ASEs:
MMI, CAM, EXT, EXT2. This patch do the samething in kernel and expose
them in cpuinfo so applications can probe supported ASEs at runtime.
