commit cccf34e9411c41b0cbfb41980fe55fc8e7c98fd2 upstream.

MT_SMP is not the only SMP option for MT cores. The MT_SMP option
allows more than one VPE per core to appear as a secondary CPU in the
system. Because of how CM works, it propagates the address-based
cache ops to the secondary cores but not the index-based ones.
Because of that, the code does not use IPIs to flush the L1 caches on
secondary cores because the CM would have done that already. However,
the CM functionality is independent of the type of SMP kernel so even in
non-MT kernels, IPIs are not necessary. As a result of which, we change
the conditional to depend on the CM presence. Moreover, since VPEs on
the same core share the same L1 caches, there is no need to send an
IPI on all of them so we calculate a suitable cpumask with only one
VPE per core.

The ELPA bit in PageGrain is all about large *physical* addresses, so
correct the reference to "large virtual address" in the comment above
where it is set for MIPS64.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "This is the main pull request for MIPS for Linux 4.1.  Most
  noteworthy:

   - Add more Octeon-optimized crypto functions
   - Octeon crypto preemption and locking fixes
   - Little endian support for Octeon
   - Use correct CSR to soft reset Octeons
   - Support LEDs on the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
   - Fix PCI interrupt mapping for the Octeon-based DSR-1000N
   - Mark prom_free_prom_memory() as __init for a number of systems
   - Support for Imagination's Pistachio SOC.  This includes arch and
     CLK bits.  I'd like to merge pinctrl bits later
   - Improve parallelism of csum_partial for certain pipelines
   - Organize DTB files in subdirs like other architectures
   - Implement read_sched_clock for all MIPS platforms other than
     Octeon
   - Massive series of 38 fixes and cleanups for the FPU emulator /
     kernel
   - Further FPU remulator work to support new features.  This sits on a
     separate branch which also has been pulled into the 4.1 KVM branch
   - Clean up and fixes for the SEAD3 eval board; remove unused file
   - Various updates for Netlogic platforms
   - A number of small updates for Loongson 3 platforms
   - Increase the memory limit for ATH79 platforms to 256MB
   - A fair number of fixes and updates for BCM47xx platforms
   - Finish the implementation of XPA support
   - MIPS FDC support.  No, not floppy controller but Fast Debug Channel :)

<title>mm: expose arch_mmap_rnd when available</title>

<id>2b68f6caeac271620cd2f9362aeaed360e317df0</id>
<content type='text'>
When an architecture fully supports randomizing the ELF load location,
a per-arch mmap_rnd() function is used to find a randomized mmap base.
In preparation for randomizing the location of ET_DYN binaries
separately from mmap, this renames and exports these functions as
arch_mmap_rnd(). Additionally introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE
for describing this feature on architectures that support it
(which is a superset of ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE, since s390
already supports a separated ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR without the
ARCH_BINFMT_ELF_RANDOMIZE_PIE logic).

<title>MIPS: c-r4k.c: Fix the 74K D-cache alias erratum workaround</title>

<id>e2e7f29af84aa59dd8191b9f6fee80aafa4e06cd</id>
<content type='text'>
Fix the 74K D-cache alias erratum workaround so that it actually works.
Our current code sets MIPS_CACHE_VTAG for the D-cache, but that flag
only has any effect for the I-cache.  Additionally MIPS_CACHE_PINDEX is
set for the D-cache if CP0.Config7.AR is also set for an affected
processor, leading to confusing information in the bootstrap log (the
flag isn't used beyond that).

So delete the setting of MIPS_CACHE_VTAG and rely on MIPS_CACHE_ALIASES,
set in a common place, removing I-cache coherency issues seen in GDB
testing with software breakpoints, gdbserver and ptrace(2), on affected
systems.

While at it add a little piece of explanation of what CP0.Config6.SYND
is so that people do not have to chase documentation.

Fix the 74K D-cache alias erratum workaround so that it actually works.
Our current code sets MIPS_CACHE_VTAG for the D-cache, but that flag
only has any effect for the I-cache.  Additionally MIPS_CACHE_PINDEX is
set for the D-cache if CP0.Config7.AR is also set for an affected
processor, leading to confusing information in the bootstrap log (the
flag isn't used beyond that).

So delete the setting of MIPS_CACHE_VTAG and rely on MIPS_CACHE_ALIASES,
set in a common place, removing I-cache coherency issues seen in GDB
testing with software breakpoints, gdbserver and ptrace(2), on affected
systems.

This allows the kernel to correctly detect an R16000 MIPS CPU on systems that
have those.  Otherwise, such systems will detect the CPU as an R14000, due to
similarities in the CPU PRId value.
