Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS for 4.8.  Also includes is a
  minor SSB cleanup as SSB code traditionally is merged through the MIPS
  tree:

  ATH25:
    - MIPS: Add default configuration for ath25

  Boot:
    - For zboot, copy appended dtb to the end of the kernel
    - store the appended dtb address in a variable

  BPF:
    - Fix off by one error in offset allocation

  Cobalt code:
    - Fix typos

  Core code:
    - debugfs_create_file returns NULL on error, so don't use IS_ERR for
      testing for errors.
    - Fix double locking issue in RM7000 S-cache code.  This would only
      affect RM7000 ARC systems on reboot.
    - Fix page table corruption on THP permission changes.
    - Use compat_sys_keyctl for 32 bit userspace on 64 bit kernels.
      David says, there are no compatibility issues raised by this fix.
    - Move some signal code around.
    - Rewrite r4k count/compare clockevent device registration such that
      min_delta_ticks/max_delta_ticks files are guaranteed to be
      initialized.
    - Only register r4k count/compare as clockevent device if we can
      assume the clock to be constant.
    - Fix MSA asm warnings in control reg accessors
    - uasm and tlbex fixes and tweaking.
    - Print segment physical address when EU=1.
    - Define AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH for ARCH_DLINFO.
    - CP: Allow booting by VP other than VP 0
    - Cache handling fixes and optimizations for r4k class caches
    - Add hotplug support for R6 processors
    - Cleanup hotplug bits in kconfig
    - traps: return correct si code for accessing nonmapped addresses
    - Remove cpu_has_safe_index_cacheops

  Lantiq:
    - Register IRQ handler for virtual IRQ number
    - Fix EIU interrupt loading code
    - Use the real EXIN count
    - Fix build error.

  Loongson 3:
    - Increase HPET_MIN_PROG_DELTA and decrease HPET_MIN_CYCLES

  Octeon:
    - Delete built-in DTB pruning code for D-Link DSR-1000N.
    - Clean up GPIO definitions in dlink_dsr-1000n.dts.
    - Add more LEDs to the DSR-100n DTS
    - Fix off by one in octeon_irq_gpio_map()
    - Typo fixes
    - Enable SATA by default in cavium_octeon_defconfig
    - Support readq/writeq()
    - Remove forced mappings of USB interrupts.
    - Ensure DMA descriptors are always in the low 4GB
    - Improve USB reset code for OCTEON II.

  Pistachio:
    - Add maintainers entry for pistachio SoC Support
    - Remove plat_setup_iocoherency

    - Fix pwm UART in spis group pinmux.

  SSB:
    - Change bare unsigned to unsigned int to suit coding style

  Tools:
    - Fix reloc tool compiler warnings.

  Other:
    - Delete use of ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB"

<title>tree-wide: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()</title>
<updated>2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=97f2645f358b411ba2afb22e5966753f0ad92916'/>
<id>97f2645f358b411ba2afb22e5966753f0ad92916</id>
<content type='text'>
The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous.  In
practical terms, config_enabled() is equivalent to IS_BUILTIN(), but the
author might have used it for the meaning of IS_ENABLED().  Using
IS_ENABLED(), IS_BUILTIN(), IS_MODULE() etc.  makes the intention
clearer.

This commit replaces config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED() where possible.
This commit is only touching bool config options.

I noticed two cases where config_enabled() is used against a tristate
option:

 - config_enabled(CONFIG_HWMON)
  [ drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/thermal.c ]

 - config_enabled(CONFIG_BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE)
  [ drivers/gpu/drm/gma500/opregion.c ]

I did not touch them because they should be converted to IS_BUILTIN()
in order to keep the logic, but I was not sure it was the authors'
intention.

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:

 - ARM: GICv3 ITS emulation and various fixes.  Removal of the
   old VGIC implementation.

 - s390: support for trapping software breakpoints, nested
   virtualization (vSIE), the STHYI opcode, initial extensions
   for CPU model support.

 - MIPS: support for MIPS64 hosts (32-bit guests only) and lots
   of cleanups, preliminary to this and the upcoming support for
   hardware virtualization extensions.

 - x86: support for execute-only mappings in nested EPT; reduced
   vmexit latency for TSC deadline timer (by about 30%) on Intel
   hosts; support for more than 255 vCPUs.

 - PPC: bugfixes.

Instead of rewriting the arguments to match the UHI spec, store the
address of a appended or UHI supplied dtb in fw_supplied_dtb.

That way the original bootloader arugments are kept intact while still
making the use of an appended dtb invisible for mach code.

Mach code can still find out if it is an appended dtb by comparing
fw_arg1 with fw_supplied_dtb.

The commit ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO")
caused building a 64 bit kernel with support for n32 and not o32
to produce a build error:

arch/mips/kernel/signal32.c:415:11: error: ‘vdso_image_o32’ undeclared here (not in a function)
  .vdso  = &amp;vdso_image_o32,

Fix this by moving the o32 specific code into signal_o32.c and
updating the Makefile accordingly.

<title>MIPS: non-exec stack &amp; heap when non-exec PT_GNU_STACK is present</title>

<id>1a770b85c1f1c1ee37afd7cef5237ffc4c970f04</id>
<content type='text'>
The stack and heap have both been executable by default on MIPS until
now. This patch changes the default to be non-executable, but only for
ELF binaries with a non-executable PT_GNU_STACK header present. This
does apply to both the heap &amp; the stack, despite the name PT_GNU_STACK,
and this matches the behaviour of other architectures like ARM &amp; x86.

Current MIPS toolchains do not produce the PT_GNU_STACK header, which
means that we can rely upon this patch not changing the behaviour of
existing binaries. The new default will only take effect for newly
compiled binaries once toolchains are updated to support PT_GNU_STACK,
and since those binaries are newly compiled they can be compiled
expecting the change in default behaviour. Again this matches the way in
which the ARM &amp; x86 architectures handled their implementations of
non-executable memory.

<title>MIPS: Use per-mm page to execute branch delay slot instructions</title>
<updated>2016-08-02T07:28:53+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Paul Burton</name>
<email>paul.burton@imgtec.com</email>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=432c6bacbd0c16ec210c43da411ccc3855c4c010'/>
<id>432c6bacbd0c16ec210c43da411ccc3855c4c010</id>
<content type='text'>
In some cases the kernel needs to execute an instruction from the delay
slot of an emulated branch instruction. These cases include:

  - Emulated floating point branch instructions (bc1[ft]l?) for systems
    which don't include an FPU, or upon which the kernel is run with the
    "nofpu" parameter.

  - MIPSr6 systems running binaries targeting older revisions of the
    architecture, which may include branch instructions whose encodings
    are no longer valid in MIPSr6.

Executing instructions from such delay slots is done by writing the
instruction to memory followed by a trap, as part of an "emuframe", and
executing it. This avoids the requirement of an emulator for the entire
MIPS instruction set. Prior to this patch such emuframes are written to
the user stack and executed from there.

This patch moves FP branch delay emuframes off of the user stack and
into a per-mm page. Allocating a page per-mm leaves userland with access
to only what it had access to previously, and compared to other
solutions is relatively simple.

When a thread requires a delay slot emulation, it is allocated a frame.
A thread may only have one frame allocated at any one time, since it may
only ever be executing one instruction at any one time. In order to
ensure that we can free up allocated frame later, its index is recorded
in struct thread_struct. In the typical case, after executing the delay
slot instruction we'll execute a break instruction with the BRK_MEMU
code. This traps back to the kernel &amp; leads to a call to do_dsemulret
which frees the allocated frame &amp; moves the user PC back to the
instruction that would have executed following the emulated branch.
In some cases the delay slot instruction may be invalid, such as a
branch, or may trigger an exception. In these cases the BRK_MEMU break
instruction will not be hit. In order to ensure that frames are freed
this patch introduces dsemul_thread_cleanup() and calls it to free any
allocated frame upon thread exit. If the instruction generated an
exception &amp; leads to a signal being delivered to the thread, or indeed
if a signal simply happens to be delivered to the thread whilst it is
executing from the struct emuframe, then we need to take care to exit
the frame appropriately. This is done by either rolling back the user PC
to the branch or advancing it to the continuation PC prior to signal
delivery, using dsemul_thread_rollback(). If this were not done then a
sigreturn would return to the struct emuframe, and if that frame had
meanwhile been used in response to an emulated branch instruction within
the signal handler then we would execute the wrong user code.

Whilst a user could theoretically place something like a compact branch
to self in a delay slot and cause their thread to become stuck in an
infinite loop with the frame never being deallocated, this would:

  - Only affect the users single process.

  - Be architecturally invalid since there would be a branch in the
    delay slot, which is forbidden.

  - Be extremely unlikely to happen by mistake, and provide a program
    with no more ability to harm the system than a simple infinite loop
    would.

If a thread requires a delay slot emulation &amp; no frame is available to
it (ie. the process has enough other threads that all frames are
currently in use) then the thread joins a waitqueue. It will sleep until
a frame is freed by another thread in the process.

Since we now know whether a thread has an allocated frame due to our
tracking of its index, the cookie field of struct emuframe is removed as
we can be more certain whether we have a valid frame. Since a thread may
only ever have a single frame at any given time, the epc field of struct
emuframe is also removed &amp; the PC to continue from is instead stored in
struct thread_struct. Together these changes simplify &amp; shrink struct
emuframe somewhat, allowing twice as many frames to fit into the page
allocated for them.

The primary benefit of this patch is that we are now free to mark the
user stack non-executable where that is possible.

When performing SMP calls to foreign cores, exclude sibling CPUs from
the provided map, as we already handle the local core on the current
CPU. This prevents an SMP call from for example core 0, VPE 1 to VPE 0
on the same core.

In the process the cpu_foreign_map cpumask is turned into an array of
cpumasks, so that each CPU has its own version of it which excludes
sibling CPUs. r4k_op_needs_ipi() is also updated to reflect that cache
management SMP calls are not needed when all CPUs are siblings (i.e.
there are no foreign CPUs according to the new cpu_foreign_map[]
semantics which exclude siblings).

Commit cccf34e9411c ("MIPS: c-r4k: Fix cache flushing for MT cores")
added the cpu_foreign_map cpumask containing a single VPE from each
online core, and recalculated it when secondary CPUs are brought up.

stop_this_cpu() was also updated to recalculate cpu_foreign_map, but
with an additional hack before marking the CPU as offline to copy
cpu_online_mask into cpu_foreign_map and perform an SMP memory barrier.

This appears to have been intended to prevent cache management IPIs
being missed when the VPE representing the core in cpu_foreign_map is
taken offline while other VPEs remain online. Unfortunately there is
nothing in this hack to prevent r4k_on_each_cpu() from reading the old
cpu_foreign_map, and smp_call_function_many() from reading that new
cpu_online_mask with the core's representative VPE marked offline. It
then wouldn't send an IPI to any online VPEs of that core.

stop_this_cpu() is only actually called in panic and system shutdown /
halt / reboot situations, in which case all CPUs are going down and we
don't really need to care about cache management, so drop this hack.

Note that the __cpu_disable() case for CPU hotplug is handled in the
previous commit, and no synchronisation is needed there due to the use
of stop_machine() which prevents hotplug from taking place while any CPU
has disabled preemption (as r4k_on_each_cpu() does).

added the cpu_foreign_map cpumask containing a single VPE from each
online core, and recalculated it when secondary CPUs are brought up.

stop_this_cpu() was also updated to recalculate cpu_foreign_map, but
with an additional hack before marking the CPU as offline to copy
cpu_online_mask into cpu_foreign_map and perform an SMP memory barrier.

This appears to have been intended to prevent cache management IPIs
being missed when the VPE representing the core in cpu_foreign_map is
taken offline while other VPEs remain online. Unfortunately there is
nothing in this hack to prevent r4k_on_each_cpu() from reading the old
cpu_foreign_map, and smp_call_function_many() from reading that new
cpu_online_mask with the core's representative VPE marked offline. It
then wouldn't send an IPI to any online VPEs of that core.

stop_this_cpu() is only actually called in panic and system shutdown /
halt / reboot situations, in which case all CPUs are going down and we
don't really need to care about cache management, so drop this hack.

Note that the __cpu_disable() case for CPU hotplug is handled in the
previous commit, and no synchronisation is needed there due to the use
of stop_machine() which prevents hotplug from taking place while any CPU
has disabled preemption (as r4k_on_each_cpu() does).
