This is a MIPS32 Release 5 based IP core with XPA, EVA, dual/quad issue
exec pipes, MMU with two-levels TLB, UCA, MSA, MDU core level features
and system level features like up to six P5600 calculation cores, CM2
with L2 cache, IOCU/IOMMU (though might be unused depending on the
system-specific IP core configuration), GIC, CPC, virtualisation module,
eJTAG and PDtrace.
As being MIPS32 Release 5 based core it provides all the features
available by the CPU_MIPS32_R5 config, while adding a few more like
UCA attribute support, availability of CPU-freq (by means of L2/CM
clock ratio setting), EI/VI GIC modes detection at runtime.
In addition to this if P5600 architecture is enabled modern GNU GCC
provides a specific tuning for P5600 processors with respect to the
classic MIPS32 Release 5. First of all branch-likely avoidance is
activated only when the code is compiled with the speed optimization
(avoidance is always enabled for the pure MIPS32 Release 5
architecture). Secondly the madd/msub avoidance is enabled since
madd/msub utilization isn't profitable due to overhead of getting the
result out of the HI/LO registers. Multiply-accumulate instructions are
activated and utilized together with the necessary code reorder when
multiply-add/multiply-subtract statements are met. Finally load/store
bonding is activated by default. All of these optimizations may make
the code relatively faster than if just MIP32 release 5 architecture
was requested.

There are five MIPS32/64 architecture releases currently available:
from 1 to 6 except fourth one, which was intentionally skipped.
Three of them can be called as major: 1st, 2nd and 6th, that not only
have some system level alterations, but also introduced significant
core/ISA level updates. The rest of the MIPS architecture releases are
minor.
Even though they don't have as much ISA/system/core level changes
as the major ones with respect to the previous releases, they still
provide a set of updates (I'd say they were intended to be the
intermediate releases before a major one) that might be useful for the
kernel and user-level code, when activated by the kernel or compiler.
In particular the following features were introduced or ended up being
available at/after MIPS32/64 Release 5 architecture:
+ the last release of the misaligned memory access instructions,
+ virtualisation - VZ ASE - is optional component of the arch,
+ SIMD - MSA ASE - is optional component of the arch,
+ DSP ASE is optional component of the arch,
+ CP0.Status.FR=1 for CP1.FIR.F64=1 (pure 64-bit FPU general registers)
must be available if FPU is implemented,
+ CP1.FIR.Has2008 support is required so CP1.FCSR.{ABS2008,NAN2008} bits
are available.
+ UFR/UNFR aliases to access CP0.Status.FR from user-space by means of
ctc1/cfc1 instructions (enabled by CP0.Config5.UFR),
+ CP0.COnfig5.LLB=1 and eretnc instruction are implemented to without
accidentally clearing LL-bit when returning from an interrupt,
exception, or error trap,
+ XPA feature together with extended versions of CPx registers is
introduced, which needs to have mfhc0/mthc0 instructions available.
So due to these changes GNU GCC provides an extended instructions set
support for MIPS32/64 Release 5 by default like eretnc/mfhc0/mthc0. Even
though the architecture alteration isn't that big, it still worth to be
taken into account by the kernel software. Finally we can't deny that
some optimization/limitations might be found in future and implemented
on some level in kernel or compiler. In this case having even
intermediate MIPS architecture releases support would be more than
useful.
So the most of the changes provided by this commit can be split into
either compile- or runtime configs related. The compile-time related
changes are caused by adding the new CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R5/CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR5
configs and concern the code activating MIPSR2 or MIPSR6 already
implemented features (like eretnc/LLbit, mthc0/mfhc0). In addition
CPU_HAS_MSA can be now freely enabled for MIPS32/64 release 5 based
platforms as this is done for CPU_MIPS32_R6 CPUs. The runtime changes
concerns the features which are handled with respect to the MIPS ISA
revision detected at run-time by means of CP0.Config.{AT,AR} bits. Alas
these fields can be used to detect either r1 or r2 or r6 releases.
But since we know which CPUs in fact support the R5 arch, we can manually
set MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R5/MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R5 bit of c->isa_level and then
use cpu_has_mips32r5/cpu_has_mips64r5 where it's appropriate.
Since XPA/EVA provide too complex alterationss and to have them used with
MIPS32 Release 2 charged kernels (for compatibility with current platform
configs) they are left to be setup as a separate kernel configs.

This is necessary when converting the MIPS VDSO to use $(LD) instead of
$(CC) to link because the OUTPUT_FORMAT is defaulted to little endian
and only flips to big endian when '-EB' is set on the command line.
There is no issue currently because the compiler explicitly passes
'-EB' or '-EL' to the linker regardless of whether or not it was
provided by the user. Passing '-v' to VDSO_LDFLAGS shows:
<gcc_prefix>/libexec/gcc/mips64-linux/9.3.0/collect2 ... -EB ...
even though '-EB' is nowhere to be found in KBUILD_CFLAGS. The VDSO
Makefile already supports getting '-EB' or '-EL' from KBUILD_CFLAGS
through a filter directive but '-EB' or '-EL' is not always present.
If we do not do this, we will see the following error when compiling
for big endian:
$ make -j$(nproc) ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-linux- \
64r2el_defconfig arch/mips/vdso/
...
mips64-linux-ld: arch/mips/vdso/elf.o: compiled for a big endian system

mips64-linux-ld: arch/mips/vdso/elf.o: endianness incompatible with that
of the selected emulation

Remove this legacy hack and just use '-EB' and '-EL' unconditionally.

This integrates the accelerated MIPS 32r2 implementation of ChaCha
into both the API and library interfaces of the kernel crypto stack.
The significance of this is that, in addition to becoming available
as an accelerated library implementation, it can also be used by
existing crypto API code such as Adiantum (for block encryption on
ultra low performance cores) or IPsec using chacha20poly1305. These
are use cases that have already opted into using the abstract crypto
API. In order to support Adiantum, the core assembler routine has
been adapted to take the round count as a function argument rather
than hardcoding it to 20.

When Loongson3 LL/SC errata workarounds are enabled (ie.
CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON3_WORKAROUNDS=y) run a tool to scan through the
compiled kernel & ensure that the workaround is applied correctly. That
is, ensure that:
- Every LL or LLD instruction is preceded by a sync instruction.
- Any branches from within an LL/SC loop to outside of that loop
target a sync instruction.
Reasoning for these conditions can be found by reading the comment above
the definition of __SYNC_loongson3_war in arch/mips/include/asm/sync.h.
This tool will help ensure that we don't inadvertently introduce code

Currently we hardcode a list of files for which we specify that the
toolchain has DSP ASE support when building for MIPSr2 only. This has a
number of problems:
1) It doesn't actually ensure that the toolchain supports the DSP ASE
at all.
2) It's fragile if we try to use DSP ASE macros in other files.
3) It makes no provision for MIPSr6 & later systems which also support
the DSP ASE & end up using the .word directive implementation of
the DSP macros.
Fix this by detecting assembler support for the DSP ASE globally, not
just for a small set of files, and not just for MIPSr2. This now exposes
use of toolchain DSP support to kernel builds targeting MIPSr1 and
older, so we add .set MIPS_ISA_LEVEL directives prior to all .set dsp
directives in order to prevent the assembler from complaining that the
DSP ASE is only supported with MIPSr2 & higher.

There is nothing arch specific about building dtb files other than their
location under /arch/*/boot/dts/. Keeping each arch aligned is a pain.
The dependencies and supported targets are all slightly different.
Also, a cross-compiler for each arch is needed, but really the host
compiler preprocessor is perfectly fine for building dtbs. Move the
build rules to a common location and remove the arch specific ones. This
is done in a single step to avoid warnings about overriding rules.
The build dependencies had been a mixture of 'scripts' and/or 'prepare'.
These pull in several dependencies some of which need a target compiler
(specifically devicetable-offsets.h) and aren't needed to build dtbs.
All that is really needed is dtc, so adjust the dependencies to only be
dtc.
This change enables support 'dtbs_install' on some arches which were
missing the target.

For a long time arch/mips/Makefile used nm to discover the kernel entry
point by looking for the address of the kernel_entry symbol. This
doesn't work for systems which make use of bit 0 of the PC to reflect
the ISA mode - ie. microMIPS (and MIPS16, but we don't support building
kernels that target MIPS16 anyway).
So for a while with commit 5fc9484f5e ("MIPS: Set ISA bit in entry-y
for microMIPS kernels") we manually modified the last nibble of the
output from nm, which worked but wasn't particularly pretty.
Commit 27c524d174 ("MIPS: Use the entry point from the ELF file
header") then cleaned this up by using objdump to print the ELF entry
point which includes the ISA bit, rather than using nm to print the
address of the kernel_entry symbol which doesn't. That removed the ugly
replacement of the last nibble, but added its own ugliness by needing to
manually sign extend in the 32 bit case.
Unfortunately it has been pointed out that objdump's output is
localised, and therefore grepping for its "start address" output doesn't
work when the user's language settings are such that objdump doesn't
print in English.
We could simply revert commit 27c524d174 ("MIPS: Use the entry point
from the ELF file header") and return to the manual replacement of the
last nibble of entry-y, but it seems that was found sufficiently
unpalatable to avoid. We could attempt to force the language used by
objdump by setting an environment variable such as LC_ALL, but that
seems fragile. Instead we add a small tool named elf-entry which simply
prints out the entry point of the kernel in the format we require.

Using a well-known variable like LDFLAGS may result in accidental

Kbuild generally uses KBUILD_ prefixed variables for the internally

When building using clang, always specify -EB or -EL in order to ensure
we target the desired endianness.
Since clang cross compiles using a single compiler build with multiple
targets, our -dumpmachine tests which don't specify clang's --target
argument check output based upon the build machine rather than the
machine our build will target. This means our detection of whether to
specify -EB fails miserably & we never do. Providing the endianness flag
unconditionally for clang resolves this issue & simplifies the clang
path somewhat.

The VDSO Makefile filters CFLAGS to select a subset which it uses whilst
building the VDSO ELF. One of the flags it allows through is the -march=
flag that selects the architecture/ISA to target.
Unfortunately in cases where CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R{1,2}=y and the
toolchain defaults to building for MIPS64, the main MIPS Makefile ends
up using the short-form -<arch> flags in cflags-y. This is because the
calls to cc-option always fail to use the long-form -march=<arch> flag
due to the lack of an -mabi=<abi> flag in KBUILD_CFLAGS at the point
where the cc-option function is executed. The resulting GCC invocation
is something like:
$ mips64-linux-gcc -Werror -march=mips32r2 -c -x c /dev/null -o tmp
cc1: error: '-march=mips32r2' is not compatible with the selected ABI
These short-form -<arch> flags are dropped by the VDSO Makefile's
filtering, and so we attempt to build the VDSO without specifying any
architecture. This results in an attempt to build the VDSO using
whatever the compiler's default architecture is, regardless of whether
that is suitable for the kernel configuration.
One encountered build failure resulting from this mismatch is a
rejection of the sync instruction if the kernel is configured for a
MIPS32 or MIPS64 r1 or r2 target but the toolchain defaults to an older
architecture revision such as MIPS1 which did not include the sync
instruction:

This can be reproduced for example by attempting to build
pistachio_defconfig using Arnd's GCC 8.1.0 mips64 toolchain from
kernel.org:
https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/8.1.0/x86_64-gcc-8.1.0-nolibc-mips64-linux.tar.xz
Resolve this problem by using the long-form -march=<arch> in all cases,
which makes it through the arch/mips/vdso/Makefile's filtering & is thus
consistently used to build both the kernel proper & the VDSO.
The use of cc-option to prefer the long-form & fall back to the
short-form flags makes no sense since the short-form is just an
abbreviation for the also-supported long-form in all GCC versions that
we support building with. This means there is no case in which we have
to use the short-form -<arch> flags, so we can simply remove them.
The manual redefinition of _MIPS_ISA is removed naturally along with the
use of the short-form flags that it accompanied, and whilst here we
remove the separate assembler ISA selection. I suspect that both of
these were only required due to the mips32 vs mips2 mismatch that was
introduced by commit 59b3e8e9aa ("[MIPS] Makefile crapectomy.") and
fixed but not cleaned up by commit 9200c0b2a0 ("[MIPS] Fix Makefile
bugs for MIPS32/MIPS64 R1 and R2.").
I've marked this for backport as far as v4.4 where the MIPS VDSO was
introduced. In earlier kernels there should be no ill effect to using
the short-form flags.

By default, sparse assumes a 64bit machine when compiled on x86-64
and 32bit when compiled on anything else.
This can of course create all sort of problems for the other archs, like
issuing false warnings ('shift too big (32) for type unsigned long'), or
worse, failing to emit legitimate warnings.
Fix this by adding the -m32/-m64 flag, depending on CONFIG_64BIT,
to CHECKFLAGS in the main Makefile (and so for all archs).
Also, remove the now unneeded -m32/-m64 in arch specific Makefiles.

In order to fetch the correct entry point with the ISA bit included, for
use by non-ELF boot loaders, parse the output of `objdump -f' for the
start address recorded in the kernel executable itself, rather than
using `nm' to get the value of the `kernel_entry' symbol.
Sign-extend the address retrieved if 32-bit, so that execution is
correctly started on 64-bit processors as well. The tool always prints
the entry point using either 8 or 16 hexadecimal digits, matching the
address width (aka class) of the ELF file, even in the presence of
leading zeros.

Up until now when configuring a generic kernel all board config
fragments have been merged by default unless boards are explicitly
selected by the user specifying BOARDS=.
In many cases this is sub-optimal, since some boards don't make sense to
include in some kernels. For example the MIPS SEAD-3 development board
has only ever been used with 32 bit CPUs, so including support for the
SEAD-3 in a 64 bit kernel is wasteful.
This patch introduces support for specifying requirements in board
config fragments, using comments formatted like so:
# require CONFIG_BLA=y
For example the SEAD-3 board could specify that it should only be merged
for 32 bit kernels using a requirement line like the following:
# require CONFIG_32BIT=y
A new generic-board-config.sh script is introduced to handle selecting
the board config fragments to merge & calling merge_config.sh to merge
them. In order to allow requirements to check Kconfig symbols that are
implicitly selected, rather than explicitly specified by
generic_defconfig or one of the ISA config fragments, an intermediate
.config file is saved & used as a reference when checking requirements.

- Broken, since there are glaring errors such as r6000_fpu.S moving
the FCSR register to t1, then ignoring it & instead saving t0 into
struct sigcontext...
- A maintenance headache, since it's code that nobody can test which
nevertheless imposes constraints on code which it shares with other
machines.

When building a kernel for the microMIPS ISA, ensure that the ISA bit
(ie. bit 0) in the entry address is set. Otherwise we may include an
entry address in images which bootloaders will jump to as MIPS32 code.
I originally tried using "objdump -f" to obtain the entry address, which
works for microMIPS but it always outputs a 32 bit address for a 32 bit
ELF whilst nm will sign extend to 64 bit. That matters for systems where
we might want to run a MIPS32 kernel on a MIPS64 CPU & load it with a
MIPS64 bootloader, which would then jump to a non-canonical
(non-sign-extended) address.
This works in all cases as it only changes the behaviour for microMIPS
kernels, but isn't the prettiest solution. A possible alternative would
be to write a custom tool to just extract, sign extend & print the entry
point of an ELF executable. I'm open to feedback if that would be
preferred.

Disable stack checking on MIPS kernels. Some distribution toolchains

a80000000001d748: 67bdffc0 daddiu sp,sp,-64
Generally, this is undesirable, and especially on the SGI IP27

When relocatable support for MIPS was merged, there was no support for
an architecture to add a postlink step for vmlinux. This meant that only
invoking a target within the boot directory, such as uImage, caused the
relocations to be inserted into vmlinux. Building just the vmlinux
target would result in a relocatable kernel with no relocation
information present.
Commit fbe6e37dab ("kbuild: add arch specific post-link Makefile")

relocation information into vmlinux, and remove the additional steps

Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported
by generic kernels.
Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want
to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board
which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically
not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to
handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy
board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen
on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION
register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will
use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect
functions.

Introduce a "generic" platform, which aims to be board-agnostic by
making use of device trees passed by the boot protocol defined in the
MIPS UHI (Universal Hosting Interface) specification. Provision is made
for supporting boards which use a legacy boot protocol that can't be
changed, but adding support for such boards or any others is left to
followon patches.
Right now the built kernels expect to be loaded to 0x80100000, ie. in
kseg0. This is fine for the vast majority of MIPS platforms, but
nevertheless it would be good to remove this limitation in the future by
mapping the kernel via the TLB such that it can be loaded anywhere & map
itself appropriately.
Configuration is handled by dynamically generating configs using
scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh, somewhat similar to the way powerpc
makes use of it. This allows for variations upon the configuration, eg.
differing architecture revisions or subsets of driver support for
differing boards, to be handled without having a large number of
defconfig files.

Add support for generating kernel images in the Flattened Image Tree
(.itb) format as supported by U-Boot. This format is essentially a
Flattened Device Tree binary containing images (kernels, DTBs, ramdisks)
and configurations which link those images together. The big advantages
of FIT images over the uImage format are:
- We can include FDTs in the kernel image in a way that the bootloader
can extract it & manipulate it before providing it to the kernel.
Thus we can ship FDTs as part of the kernel giving us the advantages
of being able to develop & maintain the DT within the kernel tree,
but also have the benefits of the bootloader being able to
manipulate the FDT. Example uses for this would be to inject the
kernel command line into the chosen node, or to fill in the correct
memory size.
- We can include multiple configurations in a single kernel image.
This means that a single FIT image can, given appropriate
bootloaders, be booted on different boards with the bootloader
selecting an appropriate configuration & providing the correct FDT
to the kernel.
- We can support a multitude of hashes over the data.

Commit c1a0e9bc88 ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed")
added Kconfig entries allowing for the compact branch policy used by the
compiler for MIPSr6 kernels to be specified. This can be useful for
debugging, particularly in systems where compact branches have recently
been introduced.
Unfortunately mainline gcc 5.x supports MIPSr6 but not the
-mcompact-branches compiler flag, leading to MIPSr6 kernels failing to
build with gcc 5.x with errors such as:
mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcompact-branches=optimal'
make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1
Fixing this by hiding the Kconfig entry behind another seems to be more
hassle than it's worth, as MIPSr6 & compact branches have been around
for a while now and if policy does need to be set for debug it can be
done easily enough with KCFLAGS. Therefore remove the compact branch
policy Kconfig entries & their handling in the Makefile.
This reverts commit c1a0e9bc88 ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to
