FORTIFY_SOURCE detects various overflows at compile and run time. (6974f0c4 ("include/linux/string.h: add the option of fortified string.h functions) ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE means that the architecture can be built and run with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE. Since mips can be built and run with that flag, select ARCH_HAS_FORTIFY_SOURCE as default.

CSR IPI and legacy MMIO use the same infrastructure, but CSR IPI is faster than legacy MMIO IPI. This patch enable CSR IPI if possible (except for MailBox, because CSR IPI is too complicated for MailBox).

Now 64-bit Loongson processors has three types of PRID.IMP: 0x6300 is the classic one so we call it PRID_IMP_LOONGSON_64C (e.g., Loongson-2E/ 2F/3A1000/3B1000/3B1500/3A2000/3A3000), 0x6100 is for some processors which has reduced capabilities so we call it PRID_IMP_LOONGSON_64R (e.g., Loongson-2K), 0xc000 is supposed to cover all new processors in general (e.g., Loongson-3A4000+) so we call it PRID_IMP_LOONGSON_64G.

The memory initialization of SGI-IP27 is already half-way to support SPARSEMEM. It only had free_bootmem_with_active_regions() left-overs interfering with sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions(). Replace these calls with simpler memblocks_present() call in prom_meminit() and adjust arch/mips/Kconfig to enable SPARSEMEM and SPARSEMEM_EXTREME for SGI-IP27.

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 paths that miss the required workarounds.

In ejtag_debug_handler() we must reload the address of ejtag_debug_buffer_spinlock if an sc fails, since the address in k0 will have been clobbered by the result of the sc instruction. In the case where we simply load a non-zero value (ie. there's contention for the lock) the address will not be clobbered & we can simply branch back to repeat the load from memory without reloading the address into k0. The primary motivation for this change is that it moves the target of the bnez instruction to an instruction within the LL/SC loop (the LL itself), which we know contains no other memory accesses & therefore isn't affected by Loongson3 LL/SC errata.

In ejtag_debug_handler we use LL & SC instructions to acquire & release an open-coded spinlock. For Loongson3 systems affected by LL/SC errata this requires that we insert a sync instruction prior to the LL in order to ensure correct behavior of the LL/SC loop.

Loongson3 systems with CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON3_WORKAROUNDS enabled already emit a full completion barrier as part of the inline assembly containing LL/SC loops for atomic operations.

When building a kernel configured to support Loongson3 LL/SC workarounds (ie.

Rather than using custom SZLONG_LOG & SZLONG_MASK macros to shift & mask a bit index to form word & bit offsets respectively, make use of the standard BIT_WORD() & BITS_PER_LONG macros for the same purpose. volatile is added to the definition of pointers to the long-sized word we'll operate on, in order to prevent the compiler complaining that we cast away the volatile qualifier of the addr argument. This should have no effect on generated code, which in the LL/SC case is inline asm anyway & in the non-LLSC case access is constrained by compiler barriers provided by raw_local_irq_{save,restore}().

The logical operations or & xor used in the test_and_set_bit_lock(), test_and_clear_bit() & test_and_change_bit() functions currently force the value 1<<bit to be placed in a register. If the bit is compile-time constant & fits within the immediate field of an or/xor instruction (ie. 16 bits) then we can make use of the ori/xori instruction variants & avoid the use of an extra register. Add the extra "i" constraints in order to allow use of these immediate encodings.

The only difference between test_and_set_bit() & test_and_set_bit_lock() is memory ordering barrier semantics - the former provides a full barrier whilst the latter only provides acquire semantics. We can therefore implement test_and_set_bit() in terms of test_and_set_bit_lock() with the addition of the extra memory barrier. Do this in order to avoid duplicating logic.

The start position for an ins instruction is always encoded as an immediate, so allowing registers to be used by the inline asm makes no sense. It should never happen anyway since a bit index should always be small enough to be treated as an immediate, but remove the nonsensical "r" for sanity.

set_bit() can set bits 0-15 using an ori instruction, rather than loading the value -1 into a register & then using an ins instruction. That is, rather than the following: li t0, -1 ll t1, 0(t2) ins t1, t0, 4, 1 sc t1, 0(t2) We can have the simpler: ll t1, 0(t2) ori t1, t1, 0x10 sc t1, 0(t2) The or path already allows immediates to be used, so simply restricting the ins path to bits that don't fit in immediates is sufficient to take advantage of this.

Reorder conditions in our various bitops functions that check kernel_uses_llsc such that they handle the !kernel_uses_llsc case first. This allows us to avoid the need to duplicate the kernel_uses_llsc check in all the other cases.

Remove the remaining duplication between 32b & 64b in asm/atomic.h by making use of an ATOMIC_OPS() macro to generate: - atomic_read()/atomic64_read() - atomic_set()/atomic64_set() - atomic_cmpxchg()/atomic64_cmpxchg() - atomic_xchg()/atomic64_xchg() This is consistent with the way all other functions in asm/atomic.h are generated, and ensures consistency between the 32b & 64b functions.

Unify the definitions of atomic_sub_if_positive() & atomic64_sub_if_positive() using a macro like we do for most other atomic functions.

Simplify our definitions of rmb() & wmb() using the new __SYNC() infrastructure. The fast_rmb() & fast_wmb() macros are removed, since they only provided a level of indirection that made the code less readable & weren't directly used anywhere in the kernel tree. The Octeon #ifdef'ery is removed, since the "syncw" instruction previously used is merely an alias for "sync 4" which __SYNC() will emit for the wmb sync type when the kernel is configured for an Octeon CPU. Similarly __SYNC() will emit nothing for the rmb sync type in Octeon configurations.

Introduce an asm/sync.h header which provides infrastructure that can be used to generate sync instructions of various types, and for various reasons. For example if we need a sync instruction that provides a full completion barrier but only on systems which have weak memory ordering, we can generate the appropriate assembly code using: __SYNC(full, weak_ordering) When the kernel is configured to run on systems with weak memory ordering (ie. CONFIG_WEAK_ORDERING is selected) we'll emit a sync instruction. When the kernel is configured to run on systems with strong memory ordering (ie. CONFIG_WEAK_ORDERING is not selected) we'll emit nothing. The caller doesn't need to know which happened - it simply says what it needs & when, with no concern for checking the kernel configuration. There are some scenarios in which we may want to emit code only when we *didn't* emit a sync instruction. For example, some Loongson3 CPUs suffer from a bug that requires us to emit a sync instruction prior to each ll instruction (enabled by CONFIG_CPU_LOONGSON3_WORKAROUNDS). In cases where this bug workaround is enabled, it's wasteful to then have more generic code emit another sync instruction to provide barriers we need in general. A __SYNC_ELSE() macro allows for this, providing an extra argument that contains code to be assembled only in cases where the sync instruction was not emitted. For example if we have a scenario in which we generally want to emit a release barrier but for affected Loongson3 configurations upgrade that to a full completion barrier, we can do that like so: __SYNC_ELSE(full, loongson3_war, __SYNC(rl, always)) The assembly generated by these macros can be used either as inline assembly or in assembly source files. Differing types of sync as provided by MIPSr6 are defined, but currently they all generate a full completion barrier except in kernels configured for Cavium Octeon systems. There the wmb sync-type is used, and rmb syncs are omitted, as has been the case since commit 6b07d38a ("MIPS: Octeon: Use optimized memory barrier primitives."). Using __SYNC() with the wmb or rmb types will abstract away the Octeon specific behavior and allow us to later clean up asm/barrier.h code that currently includes a plethora of #ifdef's.
