On 64-bit kernels, MIPS KVM will clear CP0_Status.UX to prevent the
guest (running in user mode) from accessing the 64-bit memory segments.
However the previous value of CP0_Status.UX is never restored when
exiting from the guest.If the user process uses 64-bit addressing (the n64 ABI) this can result
in address error exceptions from the kernel if it needs to deliver a
signal before returning to user mode, as the kernel will need to write a
sigframe to high user addresses on the user stack which are disallowed
by CP0_Status.UX=0.This is fixed by explicitly setting SX and UX again when exiting from
the guest, and explicitly clearing those bits when returning to the
guest. Having the SX and UX bits set when handling guest exits (rather
than only when exiting to userland) will be helpful when we support VZ,
since we shouldn't need to directly read or write guest memory, so it
will be valid for cache management IPIs to access host user addresses.Signed-off-by: James Hogan

Pull timer type cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"This series does a tree wide cleanup of types related to
timers/timekeeping.- Get rid of cycles_t and use a plain u64. The type is not really
helpful and caused more confusion than clarity- Get rid of the ktime union. The union has become useless as we use
the scalar nanoseconds storage unconditionally now. The 32bit
timespec alike storage got removed due to the Y2038 limitations
some time ago.That leaves the odd union access around for no reason. Clean it up.
Both changes have been done with coccinelle and a small amount of
manual mopping up"* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

The sync_cmos_clock function in kernel/time/ntp.c first tries to update
the internal clock of the cpu by calling the "update_persistent_clock64"
architecture specific function. If this returns -ENODEV, it then tries
to update an external RTC using "rtc_set_ntp_time".On the mips architecture, the weak implementation of the underlying
function would return 0 if it wasn't overridden. This meant that the
sync_cmos_clock function would never try to update an external RTC
(if both CONFIG_GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE and CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC are
configured)Returning -ENODEV instead, means that an external RTC will be tried.

Couple conflicts resolved here:
1) In the MACB driver, a bug fix to properly initialize the
RX tail pointer properly overlapped with some changes
to support variable sized rings.2) In XGBE we had a "CONFIG_PM" --> "CONFIG_PM_SLEEP" fix
overlapping with a reorganization of the driver to support
ACPI, OF, as well as PCI variants of the chip.3) In 'net' we had several probe error path bug fixes to the
stmmac driver, meanwhile a lot of this code was cleaned up
and reorganized in 'net-next'.4) The cls_flower classifier obtained a helper function in
'net-next' called __fl_delete() and this overlapped with
Daniel Borkamann's bug fix to use RCU for object destruction
in 'net'. It also overlapped with Jiri's change to guard
the rhashtable_remove_fast() call with a check against
tc_skip_sw().5) In mlx4, a revert bug fix in 'net' overlapped with some
unrelated changes in 'net-next'.6) In geneve, a stale header pointer after pskb_expand_head()
bug fix in 'net' overlapped with a large reorganization of
the same code in 'net-next'. Since the 'net-next' code no
longer had the bug in question, there was nothing to do

This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket
SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a
particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having
these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with
these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender
limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular
chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because
TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to
tell before this patch without packet traces.To prepare these stats, the user needs to set
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags
while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the
timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned
in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS,
in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME,
TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond.Signed-off-by: Francis Yan

Since MIPSr6 the Wired register is split into 2 fields, with the upper
16 bits of the register indicating a limit on the value that the wired
entry count in the bottom 16 bits of the register can take. This means
that simply reading the wired register doesn't get us a valid TLB entry
index any longer, and we instead need to retrieve only the lower 16 bits
of the register. Introduce a new num_wired_entries() function which does
this on MIPSr6 or higher and simply returns the value of the wired
register on older architecture revisions, and make use of it when
reading the number of wired entries.Since commit e710d6668309 ("MIPS: tlb-r4k: If there are wired entries,
don't use TLBINVF") we have been using a non-zero number of wired
entries to determine whether we should avoid use of the tlbinvf
instruction (which would invalidate wired entries) and instead loop over
TLB entries in local_flush_tlb_all(). This loop begins with the number
of wired entries, or before this patch some large bogus TLB index on
MIPSr6 systems. Thus since the aforementioned commit some MIPSr6 systems
with FTLBs have been prone to leaving stale address translations in the
FTLB & crashing in various weird & wonderful ways when we later observe
the wrong memory.Signed-off-by: Paul Burton

It is the reasonable expectation that if an executable file is not
readable there will be no way for a user without special privileges to
read the file. This is enforced in ptrace_attach but if ptrace
is already attached before exec there is no enforcement for read-only
executables.As the only way to read such an mm is through access_process_vm
spin a variant called ptrace_access_vm that will fail if the
target process is not being ptraced by the current process, or
the current process did not have sufficient privileges when ptracing
began to read the target processes mm.In the ptrace implementations replace access_process_vm by
ptrace_access_vm. There remain several ptrace sites that still use
access_process_vm as they are reading the target executables
instructions (for kernel consumption) or register stacks. As such it
does not appear necessary to add a permission check to those calls.This bug has always existed in Linux.

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

This commit removes two things:
- The platform_device that corresponds to the RTC driver, since we now
probe this driver from devicetree;
- The platform power-off code, since all the jz4740-based platforms are
now using the jz4740-rtc driver as the system power controller.Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil

Since we already have a devicetree node for the jz4740-rtc driver, we
don't have to probe it from platform code.Besides, using the jz4740-rtc driver as the power controller for the
qi_lb60 platform allows us to remove the jz4740 platform power-off code,
since this is the only jz4740-based board upstream.Signed-off-by: Paul Cercueil

When low memory doesn't reach HIGHMEM_START (e.g. up to 256MB at PA=0 is
common) and highmem is present above HIGHMEM_START (e.g. on Malta the
RAM overlayed by the IO region is aliased at PA=0x90000000), max_low_pfn
will be initially calculated very large and then clipped down to
HIGHMEM_START.This causes crashes when reading /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap
(i.e. CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING=y) when highmem is disabled. pfn_valid()
will compare against max_mapnr which is derived from max_low_pfn when
there is no highend_pfn set up, and will return true for PFNs right up
to HIGHMEM_START, even though they are beyond the end of low memory and
no page structs will actually exist for these PFNs.This is fixed by skipping high memory regions when initially calculating
max_low_pfn if highmem is disabled, so it doesn't get clipped too high.
We also clip regions which overlap the highmem boundary when highmem is
disabled, so that max_pfn doesn't extend into highmem either.Signed-off-by: James Hogan

Complement commit 80cbfad79096 ("MIPS: Correct MIPS I FP context
layout") and correct the way Floating Point General registers are stored
in a signal context with MIPS I hardware.Use the S.D and L.D assembly macros to have pairs of SWC1 instructions
and pairs of LWC1 instructions produced, respectively, in an arrangement
which makes the memory representation of floating-point data passed
compatible with that used by hardware SDC1 and LDC1 instructions, where
available, regardless of the hardware endianness used. This matches the
layout used by r4k_fpu.S, ensuring run-time compatibility for MIPS I
software across all o32 hardware platforms.Define an EX2 macro to handle exceptions from both hardware instructions
implicitly produced from S.D and L.D assembly macros.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Fix a regression introduced with commit 2db9ca0a3551 ("MIPS: Use struct
mips_abi offsets to save FP context") for MIPS I/I FP signal contexts,
by converting save/restore code to the updated internal API. Start FGR
offsets from 0 rather than SC_FPREGS from $a0 and use $a1 rather than
the offset of SC_FPC_CSR from $a0 for the Floating Point Control/Status
Register (FCSR).Document the new internal API and adjust assembly code formatting for
consistency.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Complement commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.")
and remove the Floating Point Implementation Register (FIR) from the FP
register set recorded in a signal context with MIPS I processors too, in
line with the change applied to r4k_fpu.S.The `sc_fpc_eir' slot is unused according to our current ABI and the FIR
register is read-only and always directly accessible from user software.[ralf@linux-mips.org: This is also required because the next commit depends
on it.]Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Complement commit 0ae8dceaebe3 ("Merge with 2.3.10.") and use the local
`fault' handler to recover from FP sigcontext access violation faults,
like corresponding code does in r4k_fpu.S. The `bad_stack' handler is
in syscall.c and is not suitable here as we want to propagate the error
condition up through the caller rather than killing the thread outright.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Sanitize FCSR Cause bit handling, following a trail of past attempts:
* commit 4249548454f7 ("MIPS: ptrace: Fix FP context restoration FCSR
regression"),* commit 443c44032a54 ("MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after
emulation"),* commit 64bedffe4968 ("MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after
notify_die()"),* commit b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause
bits"),* commit b54d2901517d ("Properly handle branch delay slots in connection
with signals.").Specifically do not mask these bits out in ptrace(2) processing and send
a SIGFPE signal instead whenever a matching pair of an FCSR Cause and
Enable bit is seen as execution of an affected context is about to
resume. Only then clear Cause bits, and even then do not clear any bits
that are set but masked with the respective Enable bits. Adjust Cause
bit clearing throughout code likewise, except within the FPU emulator
proper where they are set according to IEEE 754 exceptions raised as the
operation emulated executed. Do so so that any IEEE 754 exceptions
subject to their default handling are recorded like with operations
executed by FPU hardware.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Complement commit ac9ad83bc318 ("MIPS: prevent FP context set via ptrace

is written with a PTRACE_POKEUSR request addressing FPC_CSR, rather than
along with the full FPU register set in the case of the PTRACE_SETFPREGS
request.Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki

Since commit 4bcc595ccd80 ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing
continuation lines") the output from TLB dumps on MIPS has been
pretty unreadable due to the lack of KERN_CONT markers. Use pr_cont to
provide the appropriate markers & restore the expected output.Continuation is also used for the second line of each TLB entry printed
in dump_tlb.c even though it has a newline, since it is a continuation
of the interpretation of the same TLB entry. For example:[ 46.371884] Index: 0 pgmask=16kb va=77654000 asid=73 gid=00
