commit e4f2d1af7163becb181419af9dece9206001e0a6 upstream.

The pistachio platform uses the U-Boot bootloader &amp; generally boots a
kernel in the uImage format. As such it's useful to build one when
building the kernel, but to do so currently requires the user to
manually specify a uImage target on the make command line.

Make uImage.gz the pistachio platform's default build target, so that
the default is to build a kernel image that we can actually boot on a
board such as the MIPS Creator Ci40.

Marked for stable backport as far as v4.1 where pistachio support was
introduced. This is primarily useful for CI systems such as kernelci.org
which will benefit from us building a suitable image which can then be
booted as part of automated testing, extending our test coverage to the
affected stable branches.

This reverts commit 392bef709659abea614abfe53cf228e7a59876a4.

It seems to cause lots of problems when using the gold linker, and no
one really needs this at the moment, so just revert it from the stable
trees.

commit d3c976c14ad8af421134c428b0a89ff8dd3bd8f8 upstream.

Previously, %g2 would end up with the value PAGE_SIZE, but after the
commit mentioned below it ends up with the value 1 due to being reused
for a different purpose. We need it to be PAGE_SIZE as we use it to step
through pages in our demap loop, otherwise we set different flags in the
low 12 bits of the address written to, thereby doing things other than a
nucleus page flush.

Fixes: a74ad5e660a9 ("sparc64: Handle extremely large kernel TLB range flushes more gracefully.")

[ Upstream commit 7c21383f3429dd70da39c0c7f1efa12377a47ab6 ]

The LLVM linker (ld.lld) defaults to removing local relocations, which
causes KASLR boot failures. ld.bfd and ld.gold already handle this
correctly. This adds the explicit instruction "--discard-none" during
the link phase. There is no change in output for ld.bfd and ld.gold,
but ld.lld now produces an image with all the needed relocations.

[ Upstream commit 7dbcf2b0b770eeb803a416ee8dcbef78e6389d40 ]

Commit

  37fe6a42b343 ("x86: Check stack overflow in detail")

added a broad check for the full exception stack area, i.e. it considers
the full exception stack area as valid.

That's wrong in two aspects:

 1) It does not check the individual areas one by one

 2) #DF, NMI and #MCE are not enabling interrupts which means that a
    regular device interrupt cannot happen in their context. In fact if a
    device interrupt hits one of those IST stacks that's a bug because some
    code path enabled interrupts while handling the exception.

Limit the check to the #DB stack and consider all other IST stacks as
'overflow' or invalid.

[ Upstream commit 2d4d9b308f8f8dec68f6dbbff18c68ec7c6bd26f ]

When booted with "topology_updates=no", or when "off" is written to
/proc/powerpc/topology_updates, NUMA reassignments are inhibited for
PRRN and VPHN events. However, migration and suspend unconditionally
re-enable reassignments via start_topology_update(). This is
incoherent.

Check the topology_updates_enabled flag in
start/stop_topology_update() so that callers of those APIs need not be
aware of whether reassignments are enabled. This allows the
administrative decision on reassignments to remain in force across
migrations and suspensions.

[ Upstream commit a65c88e16f32aa9ef2e8caa68ea5c29bd5eb0ff0 ]

In-NMI warnings have been added to vmalloc_fault() via:

  ebc8827f75 ("x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI")

back in the time when our NMI entry code could not cope with nested NMIs.

These days, it's perfectly fine to take a fault in NMI context and we
don't have to care about the fact that IRET from the fault handler might
cause NMI nesting.

This warning has already been removed from 32-bit implementation of
vmalloc_fault() in:

  6863ea0cda8 ("x86/mm: Remove in_nmi() warning from vmalloc_fault()")

but the 64-bit version was omitted.

Remove the bogus warning also from 64-bit implementation of vmalloc_fault().

<title>x86/build: Move _etext to actual end of .text</title>

[ Upstream commit 392bef709659abea614abfe53cf228e7a59876a4 ]

When building x86 with Clang LTO and CFI, CFI jump regions are
automatically added to the end of the .text section late in linking. As a
result, the _etext position was being labelled before the appended jump
regions, causing confusion about where the boundaries of the executable
region actually are in the running kernel, and broke at least the fault
injection code. This moves the _etext mark to outside (and immediately
after) the .text area, as it already the case on other architectures
(e.g. arm64, arm).
