Add support for the MIPS Boston development board to generic kernels,
which essentially amounts to:
- Adding the device tree source for the MIPS Boston board.
- Adding a Kconfig fragment which enables the appropriate drivers for
the MIPS Boston board.
With these changes in place generic kernels will support the board by
default, and kernels with only the drivers needed for Boston enabled can
be configured by setting BOARDS=boston during configuration. For
example:
$ make ARCH=mips 64r6el_defconfig BOARDS=boston

When building a FIT image we may want the kernel to build multiple .dtb
files, but we don't want to build them all into the kernel binary as
object files since they'll instead be included in the FIT image.
Commit daa10170da ("MIPS: DTS: img: add device tree for Marduk board")
however created arch/mips/boot/dts/img/Makefile with a line that builds
any enabled .dtb files into the kernel. Remove this & build the
pistachio object specifically, in preparation for adding .dtb targets
which we don't want to build into the kernel.

If a negative system call number is used when system call tracing is
enabled, syscall_trace_enter() will return that negative system call
number without having written the return value and error flag into the
pt_regs.
The caller then treats it as a cancelled system call and assumes that
the return value and error flag are already written, leaving the
negative system call number in the return register ($v0), and the 4th
system call argument in the error register ($a3).
Add a special case to detect this at the end of syscall_trace_enter(),
to set the return value to error -ENOSYS when this happens.

When the system call return value is forced to be an error (for example
due to SECCOMP_RET_ERRNO), syscall_set_return_value() puts the error
code in the return register $v0 and -1 in the error register $a3.
However normally executed system calls put 1 in the error register
rather than -1, so fix syscall_set_return_value() to be consistent with
that.
I don't anticipate that anything would have been broken by this, since
the most natural way to check the error register on MIPS would be a
conditional branch if error register is [not] equal to zero (bnez or
beqz).

The sys_exit trace event takes a single return value for the system
call, which MIPS passes the value of the $v0 (result) register, however
MIPS returns positive error codes in $v0 with $a3 specifying that $v0
contains an error code. As a result erroring system calls are traced
returning positive error numbers that can't always be distinguished from
success.
Use regs_return_value() to negate the error code if $a3 is set.

Implement extended LWSP/SWSP instruction subdecoding for the purpose of
unaligned GP-relative memory access emulation.
With the introduction of the MIPS16e2 ASE[1] the previously must-be-zero
3-bit field at bits 7..5 of the extended encodings of the instructions
selected with the LWSP and SWSP major opcodes has become a `sel' field,
acting as an opcode extension for additional operations. In both cases
the `sel' value of 0 has retained the original operation, that is:
LW rx, offset(sp)
and:
SW rx, offset(sp)
for LWSP and SWSP respectively. In hardware predating the MIPS16e2 ASE
other values may or may not have been decoded, architecturally yielding
unpredictable results, and in our unaligned memory access emulation we
have treated the 3-bit field as a don't-care, that is effectively making
all the possible encodings of the field alias to the architecturally
defined encoding of 0.
For the non-zero values of the `sel' field the MIPS16e2 ASE has in
particular defined these GP-relative operations:
LW rx, offset(gp) # sel = 1
LH rx, offset(gp) # sel = 2
LHU rx, offset(gp) # sel = 4
and
SW rx, offset(gp) # sel = 1
SH rx, offset(gp) # sel = 2
for LWSP and SWSP respectively, which will trap with an Address Error
exception if the effective address calculated is not naturally-aligned
for the operation requested. These operations have been selected for
unaligned access emulation, for consistency with the corresponding
regular MIPS and microMIPS operations.
For other non-zero values of the `sel' field the MIPS16e2 ASE has
defined further operations, which however either never trap with an
Address Error exception, such as LWL or GP-relative SB, or are not
supposed to be emulated, such as LL or SC. These operations have been
selected to exclude from unaligned access emulation, should an Address
Error exception ever happen with them.
Subdecode the `sel' field in unaligned access emulation then for the
extended encodings of the instructions selected with the LWSP and SWSP
major opcodes, whenever support for the MIPS16e2 ASE has been detected
in hardware, and either emulate the operation requested or send SIGBUS
to the originating process, according to the selection described above.
For hardware implementing the MIPS16 ASE, however lacking MIPS16e2 ASE
support retain the original interpretation of the `sel' field.
The effects of this change are illustrated with the following user
program:
$ cat mips16e2-test.c
#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
int64_t scratch[16] = { 0 };

return 0;
}

to be compiled with:
$ gcc -mips16 -mips32r2 -Wa,-mmips16e2 -o mips16e2-test mips16e2-test.c

With 74Kf hardware, which does not implement the MIPS16e2 ASE, this
program produces the following output:

which shows that for GP-relative operations the correct trapping address
calculated from $gp has been obtained from the CP0 BadVAddr register and
so has data from the source operand, however masking and extension has
not been applied for halfword operations.

produces the following output:

Fix incorrect calculation in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse()
function that in turn caused incorrect values returned by the vdso
version of system call clock_gettime() on mips64 if its system clock
ID parameter was CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
Consider these variables and their types on mips32 and mips64:
tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec s64, s64 (kernel/vdso.c)
vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec u32, u32 (kernel/vdso.c)
to_mono_sec u32, u32 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
ts->tv_sec s32, s64 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
For mips64 case, u32 vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable is updated
from the 64-bit signed variable tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec
(kernel/vdso.c:76) which is a negative number holding the time passed
from 1970-01-01 to the time boot started. This 64-bit signed value is
currently around 47+ years, in seconds. For instance, let this value
be:
-1489757461
or
11111111111111111111111111111111 10100111001101000001101011101011
By updating 32-bit vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable, we lose upper
32 bits (signed 1's).
to_mono_sec variable is a parameter of do_monotonic() and
do_monotonic_coarse() functions which holds vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec
value. Its value needs to be added (or subtracted considering it holds
negative value from the tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec) to the current
time passed from 1970-01-01 (ts->tv_sec), which is again something like
47+ years, but increased by the time passed from the boot to the
current time. ts->tv_sec is 32-bit long in case of 32-bit architecture
and 64-bit long in case of 64-bit architecture. Consider the update of
ts->tv_sec (vdso/gettimeofday.c:55 & 167):
ts->tv_sec += to_mono_sec;
mips32 case: This update will be performed correctly, since both
ts->tv_sec and to_mono_sec are 32-bit long and the sign in to_mono_sec
is preserved. Implicit conversion from u32 to s32 will be done
correctly.
mips64 case: This update will be wrong, since the implicit conversion
will not be done correctly. The reason is that the conversion will be
from u32 to s64. This is because to_mono_sec is 32-bit long for both
mips32 and mips64 cases and s64..33 bits of converted to_mono_sec
variable will be zeros.
So, in order to make MIPS64 implementation work properly for
MONOTONIC and MONOTONIC_COARSE clock ids on mips64, the size of
wall_to_mono_sec variable in mips_vdso_data union and respective
parameters in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse() functions
should be changed from u32 to u64. Because of consistency, this
size change from u32 and u64 is also done for wall_to_mono_nsec
variable and corresponding function parameters.
As far as similar situations for other architectures are concerned,
let's take a look at arm. Arm has two distinct vdso_data structures
for 32-bit & 64-bit cases, and arm's wall_to_mono_sec and
wall_to_mono_nsec are u32 for 32-bit and u64 for 64-bit cases.
On the other hand, MIPS has only one structure (mips_vdso_data),
hence the need for changing the size of above mentioned parameters.

In systems where there are multiple actors updating the TLB, the
potential exists for a race condition wherein a CPU hits a TLB exception
but by the time it reaches a TLBP instruction the affected TLB entry may
have been replaced. This can happen if, for example, a CPU shares the
TLB between hardware threads (VPs) within a core and one of them
replaces the entry that another has just taken a TLB exception for.
We handle this race in the case of the Hardware Table Walker (HTW) being
the other actor already, but didn't take into account the potential for
multiple threads racing. Include the code for aborting TLB exception
handling in affected multi-threaded systems, those being the I6400 &
I6500 CPUs which share TLB entries between VPs.
In the case of using RiXi without dedicated exceptions we have never
handled this race even for HTW. This patch adds WARN()s to these cases
which ought never to be hit because all CPUs with either HTW or shared
FTLB RAMs also include dedicated RiXi exceptions, but the WARN()s will
ensure this is always the case.

On pre-r6 systems with the MT ASE the CPS SMP code included checks to
halt the VPE running mips_cps_boot_vpes() if its bit in the struct
core_boot_config vpe_mask field is clear. This was largely done in order
to allow us to start arbitrary VPEs within a core despite the fact that
hardware is typically configured to run only VPE0 after powering up a
core. VPE0 would start the desired other VPEs, halt itself, and the fact
that VPE0 started would be largely hidden & irrelevant.
In MIPSr6 multithreading we have control over which VPs start executing
when a core powers up via the cores CPC registers accessed remotely
through the redirect block. For this reason the MIPSr6 multithreading
path in mips_cps_boot_vpes() hasn't bothered up until now to handle
halting the VP running it.
However it is possible to power up cores entirely in hardware by using a
pwr_up pin associated with the core. Unfortunately some systems wire
this pin to a logic 1, which means that it is possible for a core to
power up at a point that software doesn't expect. The result is that we
generally go execute the kernel on a CPU that ought not to be running &
the results can be unpredictable.
Handle this case by stopping VPs that we don't expect to be running in
mips_cps_boot_vpes() - with this change even if a core powers up it will
do nothing useful & all VPs within it will stop running before they
proceed to run general kernel code & do any damage. Ideally we would
produce some sort of warning here, but given the stage of core bringup
this happens at that would be non-trivial. We also will only hit this if
a core starts up after being offlined via hotplug, and when that happens
we will already produce a warning that the CPU didn't power down in
cps_cpu_die() which seems sufficient.

If we get into a state where a core that ought to power down isn't doing
so then the current result is that another CPU gets stuck inside
cps_cpu_die() waiting for CPU that ought to be powering down to do so.
The best case scenario is that we then trigger RCU stall messages or
lockup messages, but neither makes it particularly clear what's
happening.
Handle this more gracefully by introducing a timeout beyond which we
warn the user that the core didn't power down & stop waiting for it.
This at least allows the CPU running cps_cpu_die() to continue normally,
and hopefully presuming the CPU that powered back up is doing nothing
harmful the system will continue functioning as normal.

Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager (CM) cannot support multi-core
SMP with dcache aliasing. This is because CPU caches are VIPT, but
interventions in CM-based systems provide only the physical address to
remote caches. This means that interventions may behave incorrectly in
the presence of an aliasing dcache, since the physical address used
when handling an intervention may lead to operation on an aliased cache
line rather than the correct line.
Prevent us from running into this issue by refusing to boot secondary
cores in systems where dcache aliasing may occur.

Prior to MIPSr6 multithreading is only supported if CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP
is enabled, so CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP selects CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SMT.
With MIPSr6 the CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP implementation always supports
multithreading, so have it select CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SMT in order
to allow the scheduler to make better informed decisions on
multithreaded MIPSr6 systems (for example those using I6400 or I6500

Here `set_fast_math' is called from `40130e' (`40130f' with the ISA bit)
and emulation triggers for the CTC1 instruction. As it is in a jump
delay slot emulation continues from `401312' (`401313' with the ISA
bit). However we have no path to handle MIPS16 FPU code emulation,
because there are no MIPS16 FPU instructions. So the default emulation
path is taken, interpreting a 32-bit word fetched by `get_user' from
`401313' as a regular MIPS instruction, which is:
401313: f5ea0a92 sdc1 $f10,2706(t7)
This makes the FPU emulator proceed with the supposed SDC1 instruction
and consequently makes the program considered here terminate with
SIGSEGV.
A similar although less severe issue exists with pure-microMIPS
processors in the case where similarly an FPU instruction is emulated in
a delay slot of a register jump that (incorrectly) switches into the
regular MIPS mode. A subsequent instruction fetch from the jump's
target is supposed to cause an Address Error exception, however instead
we proceed with regular MIPS FPU emulation.
For simplicity then, always terminate the emulation loop whenever a mode
change is detected, denoted by an ISA mode bit flip. As from commit
377cb1b6c1 ("MIPS: Disable MIPS16/microMIPS crap for platforms not
supporting these ASEs.") the result of `get_isa16_mode' can be hardcoded
to 0, so we need to examine the ISA mode bit by hand.
This complements commit 102cedc32a ("MIPS: microMIPS: Floating point
support.") which added JALX decoding to FPU emulation.

xchg() has up until now simply returned the x parameter in cases where
it is called with a pointer to a value of an unsupported size. This will
often cause the calling code to hit a failure path, presuming that the
value of x differs from the content of the memory pointed at by ptr, but
we can do better by producing a compile-time or link-time error such
that unsupported calls to xchg() are detectable earlier than runtime.
This patch does this in the same was as is already done for cmpxchg(),
using a call to a missing function annotated with __compiletime_error().

Our cmpxchg() implementation relies upon generating a call to a function
which doesn't really exist (__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer) to create
a link failure in cases where cmpxchg() is called with a pointer to a

The __compiletime_error macro can be used to decorate a function such
that a call to it generates a compile-time, rather than a link-time,
error. This patch uses __compiletime_error to cause bad cmpxchg() calls
to error out at compile time rather than link time, allowing errors to

Prior to this patch the xchg & cmpxchg functions have duplicated code
which is for all intents & purposes identical apart from use of a
branch-likely instruction in the R10000_LLSC_WAR case & a regular branch
instruction in the non-R10000_LLSC_WAR case.
This patch removes the duplication, declaring a __scbeqz macro to select
the branch instruction suitable for use when checking the result of an
sc instruction & making use of it to unify the 2 cases.
In __xchg_u{32,64}() this means writing the branch in asm, where it was
previously being done in C as a do...while loop for the
non-R10000_LLSC_WAR case. As this is a single instruction, and adds
consistency with the R10000_LLSC_WAR cases & the cmpxchg() code, this
seems worthwhile.

Disable usage of PREF instruction usage by memcpy for MIPS R6.
MIPS R6 redefines PREF instruction with smaller offset than
ordinary MIPS. However, the memcpy code uses PREF instruction
with offsets bigger than +-256 bytes.
Malta kernels already disable usage of PREF for memcpy.
This was found during adaptation of MIPS R6 for virtual board
used by Android emulator.
