Allow usage of scratch register for current pgd even when
MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not configured. MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is set
for 64r2 platforms to indicate availability of Xcontext for saving
cpuid, thus freeing Context to be used for saving PGD. This option
was also tied to using a scratch register for storing PGD.
This commit will allow usage of scratch register to store the current
pgd if one can be allocated for the platform, even when
MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not set. The cpuid will be kept in the CP0
Context register in this case.
The code to store the current pgd for the TLB miss handler is now
generated in all cases. When scratch register is available, the PGD
is also stored in the scratch register.

There is no reliable way to tell R4000/R4400 SC and MC variations apart,
however simple heuristic should give good results. Only the MC version
supports coherent caching so we can rely on such a mode having been set
for KSEG0 by the power-on firmware to reliably indicate an MC processor.
SC processors reportedly hang on coherent cached memory accesses and Linux
is linked to a cached load address so the firmware has to use the correct
caching mode to download the kernel image in a cached mode successfully.
OTOH if the firmware chooses to use either the non-coherent cached or the
uncached mode for KSEG0 on an MC processor, then the SC variant will be
reported, just as we currently do, so no regression here.

This change complements commits d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
[MIPS: DEC: Convert to new irq_chip functions] and
5359b938c088423a28c41499f183cd10824c1816 [MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA
interrupt handling fix] and implements automatic handling of the two
classes of DMA interrupts the I/O ASIC implements, informational and
errors.
Informational DMA interrupts do not stop the transfer and use the
`handle_edge_irq' handler that clears the request right away so that
another request may be recorded while the previous is being handled.
DMA error interrupts stop the transfer and require a corrective action
before DMA can be reenabled. Therefore they use the `handle_fasteoi_irq'
handler that only clears the request on the way out. Because MIPS
processor interrupt inputs, one of which the I/O ASIC's interrupt
controller is cascaded to, are level-triggered it is recommended that
error DMA interrupt action handlers are registered with the IRQF_ONESHOT
flag set so that they are run with the interrupt line masked.
This change removes the export of clear_ioasic_dma_irq that now does not
have to be called by device drivers to clear interrupts explicitly
anymore. Originally these interrupts were cleared in the .end handler of
the `irq_chip' structure, before it was removed.

- memcpy() is also required for decompress_unlz4.c so we share the

There is currently no corresponding ELF program header for the "text"
loadable segment which is confusing for some bootloader out there such
as CFE because it expects to find a program header matching the segment
it is trying to load. The Linux kernel ELF binary "vmlinux" has a
similar program header for the text segment so we just mimic this here
too.

When CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT is not enabled, we will still try to
build the decompressor code in arch/mips/boot/compressed as a
dependency for producing the vmlinuz target and this will result in
the following build failure:
OBJCOPY arch/mips/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin
arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c: In function 'decompress_kernel':
arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.c:105:2: error: implicit
declaration of function 'decompress'
make[1]: *** [arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [vmlinuz] Error 2
This is a genuine build failure because we have no implementation for
the decompress() function body since no kernel compression method
defined in CONFIG_KERNEL_(GZIP,BZIP2...) has been enabled.
arch/mips/Makefile already guards the install target for the "vmlinuz"
binary with a proper ifdef CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT, we now also do the
same if we attempt to do a "make vmlinuz" and show that
CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT is not enabled.

Currently when using an initrd on a MIPS system the start of the bootmem
region of memory is set to the larger of the end of the kernel bss region
(_end) or the end of the initrd. In a typical memory layout where the
initrd is at some address above the kernel image this means that the start
of the bootmem region will be the end of the initrd. But when we are done
processing/loading the initrd we have no way to reclaim the memory region
it occupied, and we lose a large chunk of now otherwise empty RAM from our
final running system.
The bootmem code is designed to allow this initrd to be reserved (and the
code in finalize_initrd() currently does this). When the initrd is finally
processed/loaded its reserved memory is freed.
Fix the setting of the start of the bootmem map to be the end of the kernel.

Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were
not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the
kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g.
J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened
when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted.
In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial:
During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch
CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called.
It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and
one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task
thread info pointer.
Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been
detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for
%cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly
turned zero after the firmware call.
So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes
became clear:
- On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this
problem.
- Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task
thread info pointer was below 4GB.
- Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because
the upper 32bit were zero anyay.
- Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread
info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary.
Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register
before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from
"These fix two bugs in the intel_pstate driver, a hibernate bug leading
to nasty resume failures sometimes and acpi-cpufreq initialization bug
that causes problems to happen during module unload when intel_pstate
is in use.
Specifics:
- Fix for rounding errors in intel_pstate causing CPU utilization to
be underestimated from Brennan Shacklett.
- intel_pstate fix to always use the correct max pstate value when
computing the min pstate from Dirk Brandewie.
- Hibernation fix for deadlocking resume in cases when the probing of
the device containing the image is deferred from Russ Dill.
- acpi-cpufreq fix to prevent the module from staying in memory when
the driver cannot be registered and then attempting to unregister
things that have never been registered on exit"

Pull final mtd fixes from Brian Norris:
"A few more last-minute regression fixes, prepared jointly by me and
David Woodhouse:
- Revert pxa3xx to its old name to avoid breaking existing
'mtdparts=' boot strings.
- Return GPMI NAND to its legacy ECC layout for backwards
compatibility. We will revisit this in 3.13.
A note from David on the latter fix: 'This leaves a harmless cosmetic
warning about an unused function. At this point in the cycle I really
don't care.'"

This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast()
write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission
bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and
passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl().
However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace
PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not*
for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case.
This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on
KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost
endpoints + LUNs.

In case of error, the function scsi_host_lookup() returns NULL
pointer not ERR_PTR(). The IS_ERR() test in the return value check
should be replaced with NULL test.
