      MIPS: Loongson-3: Enable Store Fill Buffer at runtime · c824ad16
      Huacai Chen authored
      New Loongson-3 (Loongson-3A R2, Loongson-3A R3, and newer) has SFB
      (Store Fill Buffer) which can improve the performance of memory access.
      Now, SFB enablement is controlled by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, and
      the generic kernel has no benefit from SFB (even it is running on a new
      Loongson-3 machine). With this patch, we can enable SFB at runtime by
      detecting the CPU type (the expense is war_io_reorder_wmb() will always
      be a 'sync', which will hurt the performance of old Loongson-3).
      
      [paul.burton@mips.com: Further info from Huacai:
        In practise, I found that sometimes there are boot failures if I
        enable SFB/LPA in cpu_probe(). I don't know why because processor
        designers also haven't give me an explaination, but I think this may
        have some relationships to speculative execution.]

      MIPS/PCI: Call pcie_bus_configure_settings() to set MPS/MRRS · 2794f688
      Huacai Chen authored
      Call pcie_bus_configure_settings() on MIPS, like for other platforms.
      The function pcie_bus_configure_settings() makes sure the MPS (Max
      Payload Size) across the bus is uniform and provides the ability to
      tune the MRSS (Max Read Request Size) and MPS (Max Payload Size) to
      higher performance values. Some devices will not operate properly if
      these aren't set correctly because the firmware doesn't always do it.

      mips: switch to NO_BOOTMEM · bcec54bf
      Mike Rapoport authored
      MIPS already has memblock support and all the memory is already registered
      with it.
      
      This patch replaces bootmem memory reservations with memblock ones and
      removes the bootmem initialization.
      
      Since memblock allocates memory in top-down mode, we ensure that memblock
      limit is max_low_pfn to prevent allocations from the high memory.
      
      To have the exceptions base in the lower 512M of the physical memory, its
      allocation in arch/mips/kernel/traps.c::traps_init() is using bottom-up
      mode.

      MIPS: ralink: Add rt3352 SPI_CS1 pinmux · 35d01794
      Mathias Kresin authored
      The rt3352 has a pin that can be used as second spi chip select,
      watchdog reset or GPIO. The pinmux setup was missing the definition of
      said pin.
      
      The pin is configured via the same bit on rt5350, so reuse the existing

      MIPS: Remove SLOW_DOWN_IO · e966d308
      Paul Burton authored
      arch/mips appears to have inherited SLOW_DOWN_IO from arch/x86 in
      antiquity, but we never define CONF_SLOWDOWN_IO so this is unused code.
      
      Perhaps it was once useful to keep the MIPS header close to the x86
      version to ease comparisons or porting changes, but they've diverged
      significantly at this point & x86 does this differently now anyway.
      
      Delete the dead code.

      MIPS: Use GENERIC_IOMAP · b962aeb0
      Paul Burton authored
      MIPS has a copy of lib/iomap.c with minor alterations, none of which are
      necessary given appropriate definitions of PIO_OFFSET, PIO_MASK &
      PIO_RESERVED. Provide such definitions, select GENERIC_IOMAP & remove
      arch/mips/lib/iomap.c to cut back on the needless duplication.
      
      The one change this does make is to our mmio_{in,out}s[bwl] functions,
      which began to deviate from their generic counterparts with commit
      0845bb72 ("MIPS: iomap: Use __mem_{read,write}{b,w,l} for MMIO"). I
      suspect that this commit was incorrect, and that the SEAD-3 platform
      should have instead selected CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE. Since the SEAD-3
      platform code is now gone & the board is instead supported by the
      generic platform (CONFIG_MIPS_GENERIC) which selects
      CONFIG_SWAP_IO_SPACE anyway, this shouldn't be a problem any more.

      MIPS: Use a custom elf-entry program to find kernel entry point · e245767a
      Paul Burton authored
      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 5fc9484f ("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 27c524d1 ("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 27c524d1 ("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.

      Pull libnvdimm memory-failure update from Dave Jiang:
       "As it stands, memory_failure() gets thoroughly confused by dev_pagemap
        backed mappings. The recovery code has specific enabling for several
        possible page states and needs new enabling to handle poison in dax
        mappings.
      
        In order to support reliable reverse mapping of user space addresses:
      
         1/ Add new locking in the memory_failure() rmap path to prevent races
            that would typically be handled by the page lock.
      
         2/ Since dev_pagemap pages are hidden from the page allocator and the
            "compound page" accounting machinery, add a mechanism to determine
            the size of the mapping that encompasses a given poisoned pfn.
      
         3/ Given pmem errors can be repaired, change the speculatively
            accessed poison protection, mce_unmap_kpfn(), to be reversible and
            otherwise allow ongoing access from the kernel.
      
        A side effect of this enabling is that MADV_HWPOISON becomes usable
        for dax mappings, however the primary motivation is to allow the
        system to survive userspace consumption of hardware-poison via dax.
        Specifically the current behavior is:
      
           mce: Uncorrected hardware memory error in user-access at af34214200
           {1}[Hardware Error]: It has been corrected by h/w and requires no further action
           mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
           {1}[Hardware Error]: event severity: corrected
           Memory failure: 0xaf34214: reserved kernel page still referenced by 1 users
           [..]
           Memory failure: 0xaf34214: recovery action for reserved kernel page: Failed
           mce: Memory error not recovered
           <reboot>
      
        ...and with these changes:
      
           Injecting memory failure for pfn 0x20cb00 at process virtual address 0x7f763dd00000
           Memory failure: 0x20cb00: Killing dax-pmd:5421 due to hardware memory corruption
           Memory failure: 0x20cb00: recovery action for dax page: Recovered

      mm/cow: don't bother write protecting already write-protected pages · 1b2de5d0
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This is not normally noticeable, but repeated forks are unnecessarily
      expensive because they repeatedly dirty the parent page tables during
      the page table copy operation.
      
      It's trivial to just avoid write protecting the page table entry if it
      was already not writable.
      
      This patch was inspired by
      
          https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200447
      
      which points to an ancient "waste time re-doing fork" issue in the
      presence of lots of signals.
      
      That bug was fixed by Eric Biederman's signal handling series
      culminating in commit c3ad2c3b ("signal: Don't restart fork when
      signals come in"), but the unnecessary work for repeated forks is still
      work just fixing, particularly since the fix is trivial.

      hpfs: remove unnecessary checks on the value of r when assigning error code · e0fcfe1f
      Colin Ian King authored
      At the point where r is being checked for different values, r is always
      going to be equal to 2 as the previous if statements jump to end or end1
      if r is not 2.  Hence the assignment to err can be simplified to just
      err an assignment without any checks on the value or r.

      Thanks for your work in this area. I still remember the first linux
      storage summit we did in Vancouver 2001, Tejun was invited to talk about
      his libata error handling work. Before that, it was basically a crap
      shoot if we recovered properly or not... A lot of water has flown under
      the bridge since then!
      
      Here's an "official" patch. Linus, can you apply it?
