commit 69e976831cd53f9ba304fd20305b2025ecc78eab upstream.

LLVM-built Linux triggered a boot hangup with KASLR enabled.

arch/mips/kernel/relocate.c:get_random_boot() uses linux_banner,
which is a string constant, as a random seed, but accesses it
as an array of unsigned long (in rotate_xor()).
When the address of linux_banner is not aligned to sizeof(long),
such access emits unaligned access exception and hangs the kernel.

Use PTR_ALIGN() to align input address to sizeof(long) and also
align down the input length to prevent possible access-beyond-end.

Now CPU#0 is not hotpluggable on MIPS, so prevent to create /sys/devices
/system/cpu/cpu0/online which confuses some user-space tools.

Commit ed26aacfb5f71eecb20a ("mips: Add udelay lpj numbers adjustment")
has backported to 4.4~5.4, but the "struct cpufreq_freqs" (and also the
cpufreq notifier machanism) of 4.4~4.19 are different from the upstream
kernel. These differences cause build errors, and this patch can fix the
build.

<title>MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -&gt; mfc0 sequence for DSPen</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dd54eb64ba65370b1abb1c689bd2e235bcd94284</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fcec538ef8cca0ad0b84432235dccd9059c8e6f8 upstream.

This resolves the hazard between the mtc0 in the change_c0_status() and
the mfc0 in configure_exception_vector(). Without resolving this hazard
configure_exception_vector() could read an old value and would restore
this old value again. This would revert the changes change_c0_status()
did. I checked this by printing out the read_c0_status() at the end of
per_cpu_trap_init() and the ST0_MX is not set without this patch.

The hazard is documented in the MIPS Architecture Reference Manual Vol.
III: MIPS32/microMIPS32 Privileged Resource Architecture (MD00088), rev
6.03 table 8.1 which includes:

   Producer | Consumer | Hazard
  ----------|----------|----------------------------
   mtc0     | mfc0     | any coprocessor 0 register

I saw this hazard on an Atheros AR9344 rev 2 SoC with a MIPS 74Kc CPU.
There the change_c0_status() function would activate the DSPen by
setting ST0_MX in the c0_status register. This was reverted and then the
system got a DSP exception when the DSP registers were saved in
save_dsp() in the first process switch. The crash looks like this:

[    0.089999] Mount-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
[    0.097796] Mountpoint-cache hash table entries: 1024 (order: 0, 4096 bytes, linear)
[    0.107070] Kernel panic - not syncing: Unexpected DSP exception
[    0.113470] Rebooting in 1 seconds..

We saw this problem in OpenWrt only on the MIPS 74Kc based Atheros SoCs,
not on the 24Kc based SoCs. We only saw it with kernel 5.4 not with
kernel 4.19, in addition we had to use GCC 8.4 or 9.X, with GCC 8.3 it
did not happen.

In the kernel I bisected this problem to commit 9012d011660e ("compiler:
allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING"), but when this was
reverted it also happened after commit 172dcd935c34b ("MIPS: Always
allocate exception vector for MIPSr2+").

Commit 0b24cae4d535 ("MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -&gt; mfc0 sequence.")
does similar changes to a different file. I am not sure if there are
more places affected by this problem.

[ Upstream commit ed26aacfb5f71eecb20a51c4467da440cb719d66 ]

Loops-per-jiffies is a special number which represents a number of
noop-loop cycles per CPU-scheduler quantum - jiffies. As you
understand aside from CPU-specific implementation it depends on
the CPU frequency. So when a platform has the CPU frequency fixed,
we have no problem and the current udelay interface will work
just fine. But as soon as CPU-freq driver is enabled and the cores
frequency changes, we'll end up with distorted udelay's. In order
to fix this we have to accordinly adjust the per-CPU udelay_val
(the same as the global loops_per_jiffy) number. This can be done
in the CPU-freq transition event handler. We subscribe to that event
in the MIPS arch time-inititalization method.

Commit 3885c2b463f6 ("MIPS: CM: Add support for reporting CM cache
errors") adds cm2_causes[] array with map of error type ID and
pointers to the short description string. There is a mistake in
the table, since according to MIPS32 manual CM2_ERROR_TYPE = {17,18}
correspond to INTVN_WR_ERR and INTVN_RD_ERR, while the table
claims they have {0x17,0x18} codes. This is obviously hex-dec
copy-paste bug. Moreover codes {0x18 - 0x1a} indicate L2 ECC errors.

[ Upstream commit 269b3a9ac538c4ae87f84be640b9fa89914a2489 ]

In the current code, if CONFIG_SWIOTLB is set, when failed to get IO TLB
memory from the low pages by plat_swiotlb_setup(), it may lead to the boot
process failed with kernel panic.

(1) On the Loongson and SiByte platform
arch/mips/loongson64/dma.c
arch/mips/sibyte/common/dma.c
void __init plat_swiotlb_setup(void)
{
	swiotlb_init(1);
}

kernel/dma/swiotlb.c
void  __init
swiotlb_init(int verbose)
{
...
	vstart = memblock_alloc_low(PAGE_ALIGN(bytes), PAGE_SIZE);
	if (vstart &amp;&amp; !swiotlb_init_with_tbl(vstart, io_tlb_nslabs, verbose))
		return;
...
	pr_warn("Cannot allocate buffer");
	no_iotlb_memory = true;
}

phys_addr_t swiotlb_tbl_map_single()
{
...
	if (no_iotlb_memory)
		panic("Can not allocate SWIOTLB buffer earlier ...");
...
}

(2) On the Cavium OCTEON platform
arch/mips/cavium-octeon/dma-octeon.c
void __init plat_swiotlb_setup(void)
{
...
	octeon_swiotlb = memblock_alloc_low(swiotlbsize, PAGE_SIZE);
	if (!octeon_swiotlb)
		panic("%s: Failed to allocate %zu bytes align=%lx\n",
		      __func__, swiotlbsize, PAGE_SIZE);
...
}

Because IO_TLB_DEFAULT_SIZE is 64M, if the rest size of low memory is less
than 64M when call plat_swiotlb_setup(), we can easily reproduce the panic
case.

In order to reduce the possibility of kernel panic when failed to get IO
TLB memory under CONFIG_SWIOTLB, it is better to allocate low memory as
small as possible before plat_swiotlb_setup(), so make sparse_init() using
top-down allocation.
