If there is no online CPU within a core which could receive the IPI to
start another VP in that core, a BUG() is triggered. Instead print a
warning and gracefully handle the failure such that the system remains
usable, albeit without the requested secondary CPU.

If a secondary CPU failed to start, for any reason, the CPU requesting
the secondary to start would get stuck in the loop waiting for the
secondary to be present in the cpu_callin_map.
Rather than that, use a completion event to signal that the secondary
CPU has started and is waiting to synchronise counters.
Since the CPU presence will no longer be marked in cpu_callin_map,
remove the redundant test from arch_cpu_idle_dead().

Code in arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c which handles the XLP PIC fails
to build in XLR configurations due to cpu_is_xlp9xx not being defined,
leading to the following build failure:
arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c: In function ‘xlp_of_pic_init’:
arch/mips/netlogic/common/irq.c:298:2: error: implicit declaration
of function ‘cpu_is_xlp9xx’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
if (cpu_is_xlp9xx()) {
^
Although the code was conditional upon CONFIG_OF which is indirectly
selected by CONFIG_NLM_XLP_BOARD but not CONFIG_NLM_XLR_BOARD, the
failing XLR with CONFIG_OF configuration can be configured manually or
by randconfig.
Fix the build failure by making the affected XLP PIC code conditional
upon CONFIG_CPU_XLP which is used to guard the inclusion of
asm/netlogic/xlp-hal/xlp.h that provides the required cpu_is_xlp9xx
function.

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")
recified this situation, so MIPS can now define a postlink step to add
relocation information into vmlinux, and remove the additional steps
tacked onto boot targets.

get_frame_info() calculates the offset of the return address within a
stack frame simply by dividing a the bottom 16 bits of the instruction,
treated as a signed integer, by the size of a long. Whilst this works
for MIPS32 & MIPS64 ISAs where the sw or sd instructions are used, it's
incorrect for microMIPS where encodings differ. The result is that we
typically completely fail to unwind the stack on microMIPS.
Fix this by adjusting is_ra_save_ins() to calculate the return address
offset, and take into account the various different encodings there in
the same place as we consider whether an instruction is storing the
ra/$31 register.
With this we are now able to unwind the stack for kernels targetting the
microMIPS ISA, for example we can produce:

get_frame_info() is meant to iterate over up to the first 128
instructions within a function, but for microMIPS kernels it will not
reach that many instructions unless the function is 512 bytes long since
we calculate the maximum number of instructions to check by dividing the
function length by the 4 byte size of a union mips_instruction. In
microMIPS kernels this won't do since instructions are variable length.
Fix this by instead checking whether the pointer to the current
instruction has reached the end of the function, and use max_insns as a
simple constant to check the number of iterations against.

During stack unwinding we call a number of functions to determine what
type of instruction we're looking at. The union mips_instruction pointer
provided to them may be pointing at a 2 byte, but not 4 byte, aligned
address & we thus cannot directly access the 4 byte wide members of the
union mips_instruction. To avoid this is_ra_save_ins() copies the
required half-words of the microMIPS instruction to a correctly aligned
union mips_instruction on the stack, which it can then access safely.
The is_jump_ins() & is_sp_move_ins() functions do not correctly perform
this temporary copy, and instead attempt to directly dereference 4 byte
fields which may be misaligned and lead to an address exception.
Fix this by copying the instruction halfwords to a temporary union
mips_instruction in get_frame_info() such that we can provide a 4 byte
aligned union mips_instruction to the is_*_ins() functions and they do
not need to deal with misalignment themselves.

get_frame_info() can be called in microMIPS kernels with the ISA bit
already clear. For example this happens when unwind_stack_by_address()
is called because we begin with a PC that has the ISA bit set & subtract
the (odd) offset from the preceding symbol (which does not have the ISA
bit set). Since get_frame_info() unconditionally subtracts 1 from the PC
in microMIPS kernels it incorrectly misaligns the address it then
attempts to access code at, leading to an address error exception.
Fix this by using msk_isa16_mode() to clear the ISA bit, which allows
get_frame_info() to function regardless of whether it is provided with a
PC that has the ISA bit set or not.

When clearing the .bss section in kernel_entry we do so using LONG_S
instructions, and branch whilst the current write address doesn't equal
the end of the .bss section minus the size of a long integer. The .bss
section always begins at a long-aligned address and we always increment
the write pointer by the size of a long integer - we therefore rely upon
the .bss section ending at a long-aligned address. If this is not the
case then the long-aligned write address can never be equal to the
non-long-aligned end address & we will continue to increment past the
end of the .bss section, attempting to zero the rest of memory.
Despite this requirement that .bss end at a long-aligned address we pass
0 as the end alignment requirement to the BSS_SECTION macro and thus
don't guarantee any particular alignment, allowing us to hit the error
condition described above.
Fix this by instead passing 8 bytes as the end alignment argument to
the BSS_SECTION macro, ensuring that the end of the .bss section is
always at least long-aligned.

When enterring interrupt context via handle_int or except_vec_vi, switch
to the irq_stack of the current CPU if it is not already in use.
The current stack pointer is masked with the thread size and compared to
the base or the irq stack. If it does not match then the stack pointer
is set to the top of that stack, otherwise this is a nested irq being
handled on the irq stack so the stack pointer should be left as it was.
The in-use stack pointer is placed in the callee saved register s1. It
will be saved to the stack when plat_irq_dispatch is invoked and can be
restored once control returns here.

The SAVE_SOME macro is used to save the execution context on all
exceptions.
If an exception occurs while executing user code, the stack is switched
to the kernel's stack for the current task, and register $28 is switched
to point to the current_thread_info, which is at the bottom of the stack
region.
If the exception occurs while executing kernel code, the stack is left,
and this change ensures that register $28 is not updated. This is the
correct behaviour when the kernel can be executing on the separate irq
stack, because the thread_info will not be at the base of it.
With this change, register $28 is only switched to it's kernel
conventional usage of the currrent thread info pointer at the point at
which execution enters kernel space. Doing it on every exception was
redundant, but OK without an IRQ stack, but will be erroneous once that
is introduced.

"The completion of Jan's DAX work for 4.10.
As I mentioned in the libnvdimm-for-4.10 pull request, these are some
final fixes for the DAX dirty-cacheline-tracking invalidation work
that was merged through the -mm, ext4, and xfs trees in -rc1. These
patches were prepared prior to the merge window, but we waited for
4.10-rc1 to have a stable merge base after all the prerequisites were
merged.
Quoting Jan on the overall changes in these patches:
"So I'd like all these 6 patches to go for rc2. The first three
patches fix invalidation of exceptional DAX entries (a bug which
is there for a long time) - without these patches data loss can
occur on power failure even though user called fsync(2). The other
three patches change locking of DAX faults so that ->iomap_begin()
is called in a more relaxed locking context and we are safe to
start a transaction there for ext4"
These have received a build success notification from the kbuild
robot, and pass the latest libnvdimm unit tests. There have not been
any -next releases since -rc1, so they have not appeared there"
* 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm:
ext4: Simplify DAX fault path
dax: Call ->iomap_begin without entry lock during dax fault
dax: Finish fault completely when loading holes
dax: Avoid page invalidation races and unnecessary radix tree traversals
mm: Invalidate DAX radix tree entries only if appropriate
ext2: Return BH_New buffers for zeroed blocks
- A merge error on my part broke the DocBook build. I've requisitioned
one of tglx's frozen sharks for appropriate disciplinary action and
resolved to be more careful about testing the DocBook stuff as long as
it's still around.

In commit 6290602709 ("mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are
waiting for a page bit") Nick Piggin made our page locking no longer
unconditionally touch the hashed page waitqueue, which not only helps
performance in general, but is particularly helpful on NUMA machines
where the hashed wait queues can bounce around a lot.
However, the "clear lock bit atomically and then test the waiters bit"
sequence turns out to be much more expensive than it needs to be,
because you get a nasty stall when trying to access the same word that
just got updated atomically.
On architectures where locking is done with LL/SC, this would be trivial
to fix with a new primitive that clears one bit and tests another
atomically, but that ends up not working on x86, where the only atomic
operations that return the result end up being cmpxchg and xadd. The
atomic bit operations return the old value of the same bit we changed,
not the value of an unrelated bit.
On x86, we could put the lock bit in the high bit of the byte, and use
"xadd" with that bit (where the overflow ends up not touching other
bits), and look at the other bits of the result. However, an even
simpler model is to just use a regular atomic "and" to clear the lock
bit, and then the sign bit in eflags will indicate the resulting state
of the unrelated bit #7.
So by moving the PageWaiters bit up to bit #7, we can atomically clear
the lock bit and test the waiters bit on x86 too. And architectures
with LL/SC (which is all the usual RISC suspects), the particular bit
doesn't matter, so they are fine with this approach too.
This avoids the extra access to the same atomic word, and thus avoids
the costly stall at page unlock time.
The only downside is that the interface ends up being a bit odd and
specialized: clear a bit in a byte, and test the sign bit. Nick doesn't
love the resulting name of the new primitive, but I'd rather make the
name be descriptive and very clear about the limitation imposed by
trying to work across all relevant architectures than make it be some
generic thing that doesn't make the odd semantics explicit.
So this introduces the new architecture primitive
clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte();
and adds the trivial implementation for x86. We have a generic
non-optimized fallback (that just does a "clear_bit()"+"test_bit(7)"
combination) which can be overridden by any architecture that can do
better. According to Nick, Power has the same hickup x86 has, for
example, but some other architectures may not even care.
All these optimizations mean that my page locking stress-test (which is
just executing a lot of small short-lived shell scripts: "make test" in
the git source tree) no longer makes our page locking look horribly bad.
Before all these optimizations, just the unlock_page() costs were just
over 3% of all CPU overhead on "make test". After this, it's down to
0.66%, so just a quarter of the cost it used to be.
(The difference on NUMA is bigger, but there this micro-optimization is
likely less noticeable, since the big issue on NUMA was not the accesses
to 'struct page', but the waitqueue accesses that were already removed
by Nick's earlier commit).

Pull networking fixes from David Miller:
1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar.
The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because
the destination address matches that of the device. Such an
assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback
mode.
2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the
RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with
-EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't
reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if
another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying
to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from
Daniel Borkmann.
3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for
the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we
could set them both, fix from Hock Leong Kweh.
4) Fix mlx4 bug in XDP_TX handling, from Tariq Toukan.
