commit bef8e2dfceed6daeb6ca3e8d33f9c9d43b926580 upstream.

Pointer on the memory allocated by 'alloc_progmem()' is stored in
'v-&gt;load_addr'. So this is this memory that should be freed by
'release_progmem()'.

'release_progmem()' is only a call to 'kfree()'.

With the current code, there is both a double free and a memory leak.
Fix it by passing the correct pointer to 'release_progmem()'.

Fixes: e01402b115ccc ("More AP / SP bits for the 34K, the Malta bits and things. Still wants")

Commit 92b34a976348 ("MIPS: boot: add missing targets for vmlinux.*.its")
fixed constant rebuild of *.its files on every make invocation, but due
to typo ("lzmo") it made no sense for vmlinux.lzma.its.

commit a53998802e178451701d59d38e36f551422977ba upstream.

quiet_cmd_relocs lacks a whitespace which results in:

  LD      vmlinux
  SORTEX  vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  RELOCS vmlinux
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 64 modules

After this patch:

  LD      vmlinux
  SORTEX  vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map
  RELOCS  vmlinux
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 64 modules

Typo is present in kernel tree since the introduction of relocatable
kernel support in commit e818fac595ab ("MIPS: Generate relocation table
when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE"), but the relocation scripts were moved to
Makefile.postlink later with commit 44079d3509ae ("MIPS: Use
Makefile.postlink to insert relocations into vmlinux").

<title>mips: avoid explicit UB in assignment of mips_io_port_base</title>

[ 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]:

...

[    0.202838] 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.

[ Upstream commit 3b1313eb32c499d46dc4c3e896d19d9564c879c4 ]

Report L1 caches as shared per core; L2 - per cluster.

This fixes "perf" that went crazy if shared_cpu_map attribute not
reported on sysfs, in form of

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cache/index*/shared_cpu_map

[ Upstream commit e49e6f6db04e915dccb494ae10fa14888fea6f89 ]

All BPF JIT compilers except RISC-V's and MIPS' enforce a 33-tail calls
limit at runtime.  In addition, a test was recently added, in tailcalls2,
to check this limit.

This patch updates the tail call limit in MIPS' JIT compiler to allow
33 tail calls.

<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.
