commit b259e51f2e29390518021f9b8df55a3de42f371b upstream.

The rotr, seh and wsbh instructions have been introduced with the R2
ISA. Thus the current BPF code fails to build on pre-R2 little endian
CPUs:

Fix that by providing equivalent code for these CPUs.

commit faa9724a674e5e52316bb0d173aed16bd17d536c upstream.

On little endian, avoid generating the big endian version of the code
by using #else in addition to #ifdef #endif. Also fix one alignment
issue wrt delay slot.

<content type='text'>
This commit introduces BPF ASM helpers for MIPS and MIPS64 kernels.
The purpose of this patch is to twofold:

1) We are now able to handle negative offsets instead of either
falling back to the interpreter or to simply not do anything and
bail out.

2) Optimize reads from the packet header instead of calling the C
helpers

Because of this patch, we are now able to get rid of quite a bit of
code in the JIT generation process by using MIPS optimized assembly
code. The new assembly code makes the test_bpf testsuite happy with
all 60 test passing successfully compared to the previous
implementation where 2 tests were failing.
Doing some basic analysis in the results between the old
implementation and the new one we can obtain the following
summary running current mainline on an ER8 board (+/- 30us delta is
ignored to prevent noise from kernel scheduling or IRQ latencies):

Summary: 22 tests are faster, 7 are slower and 47 saw no improvement

with the most notable improvement being the tcpdump tests. The 7 tests
that seem to be a bit slower is because they all follow the slow path
(bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper) which is meant to be slow so
that's not a problem.

<content type='text'>
Fix stack pointer offset which could potentially corrupt
argument registers in the previous frame. The calculated offset
reflects the size of all the registers we need to preserve so there
is no need for this erroneous subtraction.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: Fixed conflict due to only applying this fix part
of the entire series as part of 4.1 fixes.]

Nothing needs the module pointer any more, and the next patch will
call it from RCU, where the module itself might no longer exist.
Removing the arg is the safest approach.

This just codifies the use of the module_alloc/module_free pattern
which ftrace and bpf use.

Remove optimize_div() from BPF_MOD | BPF_K case
since we don't know the dividend and fix the
emit_mod() by reading the mod operation result from HI register
