KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler.
This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the
number of unique stack traces needed to be stored.
Move the definition of __irq_entry to <linux/interrupt.h> so that the
users don't need to pull in <linux/ftrace.h>. Also introduce the
__softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the
corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
"This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel v4.6. There is quite a
lot of interesting stuff going on.
The patches to other subsystems and arch-wide are ACKed as far as
possible, though I consider things like per-arch <asm/gpio.h> as
essentially a part of the GPIO subsystem so it should not be needed.
Core changes:
- The gpio_chip is now a *real device*. Until now the gpio chips
were just piggybacking the parent device or (gasp) floating in
space outside of the device model.
We now finally make GPIO chips devices. The gpio_chip will create
a gpio_device which contains a struct device, and this gpio_device
struct is kept private. Anything that needs to be kept private
from the rest of the kernel will gradually be moved over to the
gpio_device.
- As a result of making the gpio_device a real device, we have added
resource management, so devm_gpiochip_add_data() will cut down on
overhead and reduce code lines. A huge slew of patches convert
almost all drivers in the subsystem to use this.
- Building on making the GPIO a real device, we add the first step of
a new userspace ABI: the GPIO character device. We take small
steps here, so we first add a pure *information* ABI and the tool
"lsgpio" that will list all GPIO devices on the system and all
lines on these devices.
We can now discover GPIOs properly from userspace. We still have
not come up with a way to actually *use* GPIOs from userspace.
- To encourage people to use the character device for the future, we
have it always-enabled when using GPIO. The old sysfs ABI is still
opt-in (and can be used in parallel), but is marked as deprecated.
We will keep it around for the foreseeable future, but it will not
be extended to cover ever more use cases.
Cleanup:
- Bjorn Helgaas removed a whole slew of per-architecture <asm/gpio.h>
includes.
This dates back to when GPIO was an opt-in feature and no shared
library even existed: just a header file with proper prototypes was
provided and all semantics were up to the arch to implement. These
patches make the GPIO chip even more a proper device and cleans out
leftovers of the old in-kernel API here and there.
Still some cruft is left but it's very little now.
- There is still some clamping of return values for .get() going on,
but we now return sane values in the vast majority of drivers and
the errorpath is sanitized. Some patches for powerpc, blackfin and
unicore still drop in.
- We continue to switch the ARM, MIPS, blackfin, m68k local GPIO
implementations to use gpiochip_add_data() and cut down on code
lines.
- MPC8xxx is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.
- ATH79 is converted to use the generic GPIO helpers.

- WinSystems WS16C48
- Acces 104-DIO-48E
- F81866 (a F7188x variant)

Pull cpu hotplug updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"This is the first part of the ongoing cpu hotplug rework:
- Initial implementation of the state machine
- Runs all online and prepare down callbacks on the plugged cpu and
not on some random processor
- Replaces busy loop waiting with completions
- Adds tracepoints so the states can be followed"
More detailed commentary on this work from an earlier email:
"What's wrong with the current cpu hotplug infrastructure?
- Asymmetry
The hotplug notifier mechanism is asymmetric versus the bringup and
teardown. This is mostly caused by the notifier mechanism.
- Largely undocumented dependencies
While some notifiers use explicitely defined notifier priorities,
we have quite some notifiers which use numerical priorities to
express dependencies without any documentation why.
- Control processor driven
Most of the bringup/teardown of a cpu is driven by a control
processor. While it is understandable, that preperatory steps,
like idle thread creation, memory allocation for and initialization
of essential facilities needs to be done before a cpu can boot,
there is no reason why everything else must run on a control
processor. Before this patch series, bringup looks like this:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring the rest up
- All or nothing approach
There is no way to do partial bringups. That's something which is
really desired because we waste e.g. at boot substantial amount of
time just busy waiting that the cpu comes to life. That's stupid
as we could very well do preparatory steps and the initial IPI for
other cpus and then go back and do the necessary low level
synchronization with the freshly booted cpu.
- Minimal debuggability
Due to the notifier based design, it's impossible to switch between
two stages of the bringup/teardown back and forth in order to test
the correctness. So in many hotplug notifiers the cancel
mechanisms are either not existant or completely untested.
- Notifier [un]registering is tedious
To [un]register notifiers we need to protect against hotplug at
every callsite. There is no mechanism that bringup/teardown
callbacks are issued on the online cpus, so every caller needs to
do it itself. That also includes error rollback.
What's the new design?
The base of the new design is a symmetric state machine, where both
the control processor and the booting/dying cpu execute a well
defined set of states. Each state is symmetric in the end, except
for some well defined exceptions, and the bringup/teardown can be
stopped and reversed at almost all states.
So the bringup of a cpu will look like this in the future:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
bring itself up
The synchronization step does not require the control cpu to wait.
That mechanism can be done asynchronously via a worker or some
other mechanism.
The teardown can be made very similar, so that the dying cpu cleans
up and brings itself down. Cleanups which need to be done after
the cpu is gone, can be scheduled asynchronously as well.
There is a long way to this, as we need to refactor the notion when a
cpu is available. Today we set the cpu online right after it comes
out of the low level bringup, which is not really correct.
The proper mechanism is to set it to available, i.e. cpu local
threads, like softirqd, hotplug thread etc. can be scheduled on that
cpu, and once it finished all booting steps, it's set to online, so
general workloads can be scheduled on it. The reverse happens on
teardown. First thing to do is to forbid scheduling of general
workloads, then teardown all the per cpu resources and finally shut it
off completely.
This patch series implements the basic infrastructure for this at the
core level. This includes the following:
- Basic state machine implementation with well defined states, so
ordering and prioritization can be expressed.
- Interfaces to [un]register state callbacks
This invokes the bringup/teardown callback on all online cpus with
the proper protection in place and [un]installs the callbacks in
the state machine array.
For callbacks which have no particular ordering requirement we have
a dynamic state space, so that drivers don't have to register an
explicit hotplug state.
If a callback fails, the code automatically does a rollback to the
previous state.
- Sysfs interface to drive the state machine to a particular step.
This is only partially functional today. Full functionality and
therefor testability will be achieved once we converted all
existing hotplug notifiers over to the new scheme.
- Run all CPU_ONLINE/DOWN_PREPARE notifiers on the booting/dying
processor:
Control CPU Booting CPU
do preparatory steps
kick cpu into life
do low level init
sync with booting cpu sync with control cpu
wait for boot
bring itself up
Signal completion to control cpu
In a previous step of this work we've done a full tree mechanical
conversion of all hotplug notifiers to the new scheme. The balance
is a net removal of about 4000 lines of code.
This is not included in this series, as we decided to take a
different approach. Instead of mechanically converting everything
over, we will do a proper overhaul of the usage sites one by one so
they nicely fit into the symmetric callback scheme.
I decided to do that after I looked at the ugliness of some of the
converted sites and figured out that their hotplug mechanism is
completely buggered anyway. So there is no point to do a
mechanical conversion first as we need to go through the usage
sites one by one again in order to achieve a full symmetric and
testable behaviour"

When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map
cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising
it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask
any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their
way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache
operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same
core, even though the VPEs share primary caches.
Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so
the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to
convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization
with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the
hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu.

'function' refers to STT_FUNC from the ELF standard.
Although GAS accepts it, '.type symbol@function' is an undocumented form of

2- Implement the new irqchip->send_ipi() in irqchip/mips-gic
3- Select GENERIC_IRQ_IPI Kconfig symbol for MIPS_GIC
4- Change MIPS SMP to use the generic IPI implementation

Depending on the configuration either the 32 or 64 bit version of
elf_check_arch() is defined. parse_crash_elf{32|64}_headers() does
some basic verification of the ELF header via
vmcore_elf{32|64}_check_arch() which happen to map to elf_check_arch().
Since the implementation 32 and 64 bit version of elf_check_arch()
differ, we use the wrong type:
In file included from include/linux/elf.h:4:0,
from fs/proc/vmcore.c:13:
fs/proc/vmcore.c: In function 'parse_crash_elf64_headers':

Commit c014d164f21d ("MIPS: Add platform callback before initializing
the L2 cache") added a platform_early_l2_init function in order to allow
platforms to probe for the CM before L2 initialisation is performed, so
that CM GCRs are available to mips_sc_probe.
That commit actually fails to do anything useful, since it checks
mips_cm_revision to determine whether it should call mips_cm_probe but
the result of mips_cm_revision will always be 0 until mips_cm_probe has
been called. Thus the "early" mips_cm_probe call never occurs.
Fix this & drop the useless weak platform_early_l2_init function by
simply calling mips_cm_probe from setup_arch. For platforms that don't
select CONFIG_MIPS_CM this will be a no-op, and for those that do it
removes the requirement for them to call mips_cm_probe manually
(although doing so isn't harmful for now).

In the regular MIPS instruction set RDHWR is encoded with the SPECIAL3
(011111) major opcode. Therefore it cannot trigger the CpU (Coprocessor
Unusable) exception, and certainly not for coprocessor 0, as the opcode
does not overlap with any of the older ISA reservations, i.e. LWC0
(110000), SWC0 (111000), LDC0 (110100) or SDC0 (111100). The closest
match might be SDC3 (111111), possibly causing a CpU #3 exception,
however our code does not handle it anyway. A quick check with a MIPS I
and a MIPS III processor:
CPU0 revision is: 00000220 (R3000)
CPU0 revision is: 00000440 (R4400SC)
indeed indicates that the RI (Reserved Instruction) exception is
triggered. It's only LL and SC that require emulation in the CpU #0
exception handler as they reuse the LWC0 and SWC0 opcodes respectively.
In the microMIPS instruction set RDHWR is mandatory and triggering the
RI exception is required on unimplemented or disabled register accesses.
Therefore emulating the microMIPS instruction in the CpU #0 exception
handler is not required either.

start_thread() (called for execve(2)) clears the TIF_USEDFPU flag
without atomically disabling the FPU. With a preemptive kernel, an
unfortunately timed preemption after this could result in another
task (or KVM guest) being scheduled in with the FPU still enabled, since
lose_fpu_inatomic() only turns it off if TIF_USEDFPU is set.
Use lose_fpu(0) instead of the separate FPU / MSA management, which
should do the right thing (drop FPU properly and atomically without
saving state) and will be more future proof.

The kernel currently assumes that a core will start up in legacy mode
using the exception base provided through the CM GCR registers. If a
core has been configured in hardware to start in EVA mode, these
assumptions will fail.
This patch ensures that secondary cores are initialized to meet these
assumptions.

While synchronization, count register will go backwards for the master.
If synchronise_count_master() runs before synchronise_count_slave(),
skew becomes even more. The skew is very harmful for CPU hotplug (CPU0
do synchronization with CPU1, then CPU0 do synchronization with CPU2
and CPU0's count goes backwards, so it will be out of sync with CPU1).
After the commit cf9bfe55f24973a8f40e2 (MIPS: Synchronize MIPS count one
CPU at a time), we needn't evaluate count_reference at the beginning of
synchronise_count_master() any more. Thus, we evaluate the initcount (It
seems like count_reference is redundant) in the 2nd loop. Since we write
the count register in the last loop, we don't need additional barriers
(the existing memory barriers are enough).
Moreover, I think we loop 3 times is enough to get a primed instruction
cache, this can also get less skew than looping 5 times.
Comments are also updated in this patch.

In the case of a hardware FPU being used examine the FIR register for
the presence of the HAS2008 bit and then the FCSR register for the
writability of the ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits and the hardwired state of
each of these bits if read-only. Update the initial FCSR contents used
for threads and the FCSR writability mask accordingly.
For full FPU emulation and MIPS32 or MIPS64 processors make the FCSR
ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits writable.

Handle the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header flag and refuse execution
where there is no support in the FPU for the NaN encoding mode requested
by a binary invoked. Ensure that the setting of the bit in the binary
matches one in any intepreter used. Set the thread's initial FCSR
contents according to the value of the EF_MIPS_NAN2008.
Set the values of the FCSR ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits both to the same
value if possible, to take the approach taken with existing FPU hardware
into account. As of now all implementations have both bits hardwired to
the same value, that is both are fixed at 0 or both are fixed at 1, even
though the architecture allows for implementations where the amount of
control implemented with each of these two individual bits is
independent of each other.

Implement IEEE Std 754-2008 NaN encoding wired to the state of the
FCSR.NAN2008 bit. Make the interpretation of the quiet bit in NaN data
as follows:
* in the legacy mode originally defined by the MIPS architecture the
value of 1 denotes an sNaN whereas the value of 0 denotes a qNaN,
* in the 2008 mode introduced with revision 5 of the MIPS architecture
the value of 0 denotes an sNaN whereas the value of 1 denotes a qNaN,
following the definition of the preferred NaN encoding introduced with
IEEE Std 754-2008.
In the 2008 mode, following the requirement of the said standard, quiet
an sNaN where needed by setting the quiet bit to 1 and leaving all the
NaN payload bits unchanged.
Update format conversion operations according to the rules set by IEEE
Std 754-2008 and the MIPS architecture. Specifically:
* propagate NaN payload bits through conversions between floating-point
formats such that as much information as possible is preserved and
specifically a conversion from a narrower format to a wider format and
then back to the original format does not change a qNaN payload in any
way,
* conversions from a floating-point to an integer format where the
source is a NaN, infinity or a value that would convert to an integer
outside the range of the result format produce, under the default
exception handling, the respective values defined by the MIPS
architecture.
In full FPU emulation set the FIR.HAS2008 bit to 1, however do not make
any further FCSR bits writable.

Commit 977e043d5ea1 ("MIPS: kernel: cps-vec: Replace mips32r2 ISA level
with mips64r2") leads to .set mips64r2 directives being present in 32
bit (ie. CONFIG_32BIT=y) kernels. This is incorrect & leads to MIPS64
instructions being emitted by the assembler when expanding
pseudo-instructions. For example the "move" instruction can legitimately
be expanded to a "daddu". This causes problems when the kernel is run on
a MIPS32 CPU, as CONFIG_32BIT kernels of course often are...
Fix this by dropping the .set <ISA> directives entirely now that Kconfig
should be ensuring that kernels including this code are built with a
suitable -march= compiler flag.

Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.
When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.
When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.
This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.
A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):
- Syscall: ~31000 ns
- VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
- VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns

- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef

arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]

Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().
To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
(genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
compiled into the kernel.
On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
the mips_abi structure.
A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
function implementations which are added later.
[[email protected]:
- Add more comments
- Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
that needs it.
- Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
- Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking.
- Simplify Makefile a little bit.
- checkpatch fixes
- Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6
- Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64]
