This is because binfmt_elfn32 and binfmt_elfo32 are using symbols from
elfcore but for these configurations elfcore will not be built.
Fixed by making elfcore selectable by a separate config symbol which
unlike the current mechanism can also be used from other directories
than kernel/, then having each flavor of ELF that relies on elfcore.o,
select it in Kconfig, including CONFIG_MIPS32_N32 and CONFIG_MIPS32_O32
which fixes this issue.

printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.
The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").
The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).
Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers. These are not easy to avoid.
This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.
The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.
__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.
We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.
The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.
The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI
handling there first. Let's do it separately.
The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327

Core infrastructural changes:
- Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages. This
means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than
(as we did before) try to emulate it by switching the line
to an input to get high impedance. This is also documented
throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt for those of you
who did not understand one word of what I just wrote.
- Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and
unitelligible ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and
ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another evolutional artifact from
the time when the GPIO subsystem was unmaintained. Archs can
now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
arches will trickle in for the next kernel. Some minor archs
ACKed the changes immediately so these are included in this
pull request.
- Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device
for storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H
Unicore and a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in
ALSA SoC, Input, serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.
- The initialization now reads the input/output state of the
GPIO lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this
callback is implemented - whether the line is input or
output. This also reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".
- It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names,
from the device tree. (Platform data has been supported for
a while.) I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI
one of those days. This makes is possible to get sensible
producer names for e.g. GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.
New drivers:
- New driver for the Loongson1.
- The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.
- The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.
- The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.
Driver improvements:
- MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and
now also suppors level-triggered interrupts.
- 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback
- AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.
- TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
support the new single ended callback for open drain
and in some cases open source.
- Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers
like PL061, Xgene.
Cleanups:
- Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized
those who are not really modules.
- Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where
they belong.
- Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
point. That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less.

Allow the builtin command line to be extended by what the bootloader
passes in. For example, the bootloader can pass specific arguments
depending on the boot mode, and these should override the defaults in
the builtin cmdline.
The default MIPS_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER option prepends the
bootloader's cmdline to the builtin cmdline so is not suitable for this
purpose.

In preparation for supporting variable ASID masks, retrieve ASID masks
using functions in asm/cpu-info.h which accept struct cpuinfo_mips. This
will allow those functions to determine the ASID mask based upon the CPU
in a later patch. This also allows for the r3k & r8k cases to be handled
in Kconfig, which is arguably cleaner than the previous #ifdefs.

Release 6 of the MIPS architecture introduced the bitswap instruction,
which reverses the bits within each byte of a word. Make use of this
instruction to implement the __arch_bitrev* functions, which should be
faster for most MIPSr6 CPUs, reduces code size slightly and allows us to
avoid the lookup table used by the generic implementation, saving 256
bytes in the kernel binary by dropping that.

New Loongson 3 CPU (since Loongson-3A R2, as opposed to Loongson-3A R1,
Loongson-3B R1 and Loongson-3B R2) has many enhancements, such as FTLB,
L1-VCache, EI/DI/Wait/Prefetch instruction, DSP/DSPv2 ASE, User Local
register, Read-Inhibit/Execute-Inhibit, SFB (Store Fill Buffer), Fast
TLB refill support, etc.
This patch introduce a config option, CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, to
enable those enhancements which are not probed at run time. If you want
a generic kernel to run on all Loongson 3 machines, please say 'N'
here. If you want a high-performance kernel to run on new Loongson 3
machines only, please say 'Y' here.
Some additional explanations:
1) SFB locates between core and L1 cache, it causes memory access out
of order, so writel/outl (and other similar functions) need a I/O
reorder barrier.
2) Loongson 3 has a bug that di instruction can not save the irqflag,
so arch_local_irq_save() is modified. Since CPU_MIPSR2 is selected
by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, generic kernel doesn't use ei/di
at all.
3) CPU_HAS_PREFETCH is selected by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, so
MIPS_CPU_PREFETCH (used by uasm) probing is also put in this patch.

This patch adds KASLR to the MIPS kernel.
Entropy is derived from the banner, which will change every build and
random_get_entropy() which should provide additional runtime entropy.
Additionally the bootloader may pass entropy via the /chosen/kaslr-seed
node in device tree.
The kernel is relocated by up to RANDOMIZE_BASE_MAX_OFFSET bytes from
its link address (PHYSICAL_START). Because relocation happens so early
in the kernel boot, the amount of physical memory has not yet been
determined. This means the only way to limit relocation within the
available memory is via Kconfig.

When CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is enabled, add a new section in the memory map
to be filled with relocation data.
CONFIG_RELOCATION_TABLE_SIZE allows the amount of space reserved to be
adjusted if necessary.
The relocs tool will populate this reserved space with relocation
information. The space is reserved within the elf by filling it with
0's, and an invalid entry is left at the start of the space such that

Introduce support for bringing up Virtual Processors in MIPSr6 systems
as CPUs, much like their VPE parallel from the now-deprecated MT ASE.
The existing mips_cps_boot_vpes function fits the MIPSr6 architecture
pretty well - it can now simply write the mask of running VPs to the
VC_RUN register, rather than looping through each & starting or stopping
as appropriate as is done for VPEs from the MT ASE. Thus the VP support
is in general an extension & simplification of the existing MT ASE VPE
(aka SMVP) support.

Broadcom ARM home routers store SPROM content in NVRAM just like MIPS
ones. To share SPROM code we need to move it out of arch/mips/ to some
common place. We already have bcm47xx_nvram in firmware path and SPROM
should fit there as well.
This driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration data into a
struct shared between ssb and bcma buses.
This was tested with BCM4706 & BCM5357C0 (BCM47XX) and BCM4708A0
(ARCH_BCM_5301X).

This replaces:
- "select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB" with "select GPIOLIB" as this can
now be selected directly.
- "select ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB" with no dependency: GPIOLIB
is now selectable by everyone, so we need not declare our
intent to select it.
When ordering the symbols the following rationale was used:
if the selects were in alphabetical order, I moved select GPIOLIB
to be in alphabetical order, but if the selects were not
maintained in alphabetical order, I just replaced
"select ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB" with "select GPIOLIB".

Similar to how arm allows using selecting between bootloader arguments,
dtb arguments and both, allow to select them on mips. But since we have
less control over the place of the dtb do not modify it but instead use
the boot_command_line for merging them.
The default is "use bootloader arguments" to keep the current behaviour
as default.

Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.
When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.
When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.
This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.
A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):
- Syscall: ~31000 ns
- VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
- VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef
- Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the
arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]
