[ Upstream commit 05454c1bde91fb013c0431801001da82947e6b5a ]

According to the QCA u-boot source the "PCIE Phase Lock Loop
Configuration (PCIE_PLL_CONFIG)" register is for all SoCs except the
QCA955X and QCA956X at offset 0x10.

Since the PCIE PLL config register is only defined for the AR724x fix
only this value. The value is wrong since the day it was added and isn't
used by any driver yet.

tracer in determining the layout of floating-point general registers in

commit 71e909c0cdad28a1df1fa14442929e68615dee45 upstream.

Correct commit 7aeb753b5353 ("MIPS: Implement task_user_regset_view.")
and expose the FIR register using the unused 4 bytes at the end of the
NT_PRFPREG regset.  Without that register included clients cannot use
the PTRACE_GETREGSET request to retrieve the complete FPU register set
and have to resort to one of the older interfaces, either PTRACE_PEEKUSR
or PTRACE_GETFPREGS, to retrieve the missing piece of data.  Also the
register is irreversibly missing from core dumps.

This register is architecturally hardwired and read-only so the write
path does not matter.  Ignore data supplied on writes then.

commit c60128ce97674fd05adb8b5ae79eb6745a03192e upstream.

The debug definitions were missing for MACH_JZ4770, resulting in a build
failure when DEBUG_ZBOOT was set.

Since the UART addresses are the same across all Ingenic SoCs, we just
use a #ifdef CONFIG_MACH_INGENIC instead of checking for individual
Ingenic SoCs.

Additionally, I added a #define for the UART0 address in-code and
dropped the &lt;asm/mach-jz4740/base.h&gt; include, for the reason that this
include file is slowly being phased out as the whole platform is being
moved to devicetree.

<title>MIPS: c-r4k: Fix data corruption related to cache coherence</title>

<id>9ed61809e2bda6a0572d3e3861cc29894bed66f6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 55a2aa08b3af519a9693f99cdf7fa6d8b62d9f65 upstream.

When DMA will be performed to a MIPS32 1004K CPS, the L1-cache for the
range needs to be flushed and invalidated first.
The code currently takes one of two approaches.
1/ If the range is less than the size of the dcache, then HIT type
   requests flush/invalidate cache lines for the particular addresses.
   HIT-type requests a globalised by the CPS so this is safe on SMP.

2/ If the range is larger than the size of dcache, then INDEX type
   requests flush/invalidate the whole cache. INDEX type requests affect
   the local cache only. CPS does not propagate them in any way. So this
   invalidation is not safe on SMP CPS systems.

Data corruption due to '2' can quite easily be demonstrated by
repeatedly "echo 3 &gt; /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" and then sha1sum a file
that is several times the size of available memory. Dropping caches
means that large contiguous extents (large than dcache) are more likely.

This was not a problem before Linux-4.8 because option 2 was never used
if CONFIG_MIPS_CPS was defined. The commit which removed that apparently
didn't appreciate the full consequence of the change.

We could, in theory, globalize the INDEX based flush by sending an IPI
to other cores. These cache invalidation routines can be called with
interrupts disabled and synchronous IPI require interrupts to be
enabled. Asynchronous IPI may not trigger writeback soon enough. So we
cannot use IPI in practice.

We can already test if IPI would be needed for an INDEX operation with
r4k_op_needs_ipi(R4K_INDEX). If this is true then we mustn't try the
INDEX approach as we cannot use IPI. If this is false (e.g. when there
is only one core and hence one L1 cache) then it is safe to use the
INDEX approach without IPI.

This patch avoids options 2 if r4k_op_needs_ipi(R4K_INDEX), and so
eliminates the corruption.

commit 947bc875116042d5375446aa29bc1073c2d38977 upstream.

Commit b35565bb16a5 ("MIPS: generic: Add support for MIPSfpga") added
and its.S file for xilfpga but forgot to add it to
arch/mips/generic/Platform so it is never used.

commit a5a92abbce56c41ff121db41a33b9c0a0ff39365 upstream.

A dtb.o is generated from nexys4ddr.dts but this is never used since it
has been moved to mips/generic with commit b35565bb16a5 ("MIPS: generic:
Add support for MIPSfpga").

<title>MIPS: memset.S: Fix clobber of v1 in last_fixup</title>

<content type='text'>
commit c96eebf07692e53bf4dd5987510d8b550e793598 upstream.

The label .Llast_fixup\@ is jumped to on page fault within the final
byte set loop of memset (on &lt; MIPSR6 architectures). For some reason, in
this fault handler, the v1 register is randomly set to a2 &amp; STORMASK.
This clobbers v1 for the calling function. This can be observed with the
following test code:

static int __init __attribute__((optimize("O0"))) test_clear_user(void)
{
  register int t asm("v1");
  char *test;
  int j, k;

  pr_info("\n\n\nTesting clear_user\n");
  test = vmalloc(PAGE_SIZE);

  for (j = 256; j &lt; 512; j++) {
    t = 0xa5a5a5a5;
    if ((k = clear_user(test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j)) != j - 256) {
        pr_err("clear_user (%px %d) returned %d\n", test + PAGE_SIZE - 256, j, k);
    }
    if (t != 0xa5a5a5a5) {
       pr_err("v1 was clobbered to 0x%x!\n", t);
    }
  }

  return 0;
}
late_initcall(test_clear_user);

Which demonstrates that v1 is indeed clobbered (MIPS64):

Testing clear_user
v1 was clobbered to 0x1!
v1 was clobbered to 0x2!
v1 was clobbered to 0x3!
v1 was clobbered to 0x4!
v1 was clobbered to 0x5!
v1 was clobbered to 0x6!
v1 was clobbered to 0x7!

Since the number of bytes that could not be set is already contained in
a2, the andi placing a value in v1 is not necessary and actively
harmful in clobbering v1.
