This the mips version of commit c1bd55f9 ("x86: opt into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS, for both 32-bit and 64-bit"). Simply use the tls system call argument instead of extracting the tls argument by magic from the pt_regs structure. See commit 3033f14a ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic") for more background.

It is pure mystery to me why we need to be on a specific CPU while looking up a value in an array. My best shot at this is that before commit d4019f0a ("cpufreq: move freq change notifications to cpufreq core") it was required to invoke cpufreq_notify_transition() on a special CPU. Since it looks like a waste, remove it. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Cc: Rafael J.

We always either target MIPS32/MIPS64 or microMIPS, and always include one & only one of uasm-mips.c or uasm-micromips.c. Therefore the abstraction of the ISA in asm/uasm.h declaring functions for either ISA is redundant & needless. Remove it to simplify the code. This is largely the result of the following: :%s/ISAOPC(\(.\{-}\))/uasm_i##\1/ :%s/ISAFUNC(\(.\{-}\))/\1/ Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/15844/Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Douglas Leung authored
Correct the treatment of branching conditions for BC1EQZ and BC1NEZ instructions in function isBranchInstr(). Previously, corresponding conditions were swapped, which in turn meant that, for these two instructions, function isBranchInstr() returned wrong value in its output parameter contpc. This change is actually an extension of the fix done by the commit 93583e17 ("MIPS: math-emu: Fix BC1{EQ,NE}Z emulation"). That commit dealt with a similar problem in function cop1Emulate(), while this commit deals with condition handling in function isBranchInstr(). The code styles of changes in these two commits are kept as consistent as possible.

Add missing clearing of BLTZALL and BGEZALL emulation counters in function mipsr2_stats_clear_show(). Previously, it was not possible to reset BLTZALL and BGEZALL emulation counters - their value remained the same even after explicit request via debugfs. As far as other related counters are concerned, they all seem to be properly cleared. This change affects debugfs operation only, core R2 emulation functionality is not affected.

Leonid Yegoshin authored
Fix the problem of inaccurate identification of instructions BLEZL and BGTZL in R2 emulation code by making sure all necessary encoding specifications are met. Previously, certain R6 instructions could be identified as BLEZL or BGTZL. R2 emulation routine didn't take into account that both BLEZL and BGTZL instructions require their rt field (bits 20 to 16 of instruction encoding) to be 0, and that, at same time, if the value in that field is not 0, the encoding may represent a legitimate MIPS R6 instruction. This means that a problem could occur after emulation optimization, when emulation routine tried to pipeline emulation, picked up a next candidate, and subsequently misrecognized an R6 instruction as BLEZL or BGTZL. It should be said that for single pass strategy, the problem does not happen because CPU doesn't trap on branch-compacts which share opcode space with BLEZL/BGTZL (but have rt field != 0, of course).

Some users must have 4K pages while needing a 48-bit VA space size. The cleanest way do do this is to go to a 4-level page table for this case. Each page table level using order-0 pages adds 9 bits to the VA size (at 4K pages, so for four levels we get 9 * 4 + 12 == 48-bits. For the 4K page size case only we add support functions for the PUD level of the page table tree, also the TLB exception handlers get an extra level of tree walk.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "Here's a pull request for 4.11-rc, fixing a set of issues mostly centered around the new scheduling framework. These have been brewing for a while, but split up into what we absolutely need in 4.11, and what we can defer until 4.12. These are well tested, on both single queue and multiqueue setups, and with and without shared tags. They fix several hangs that have happened in testing. This is obviously larger than I would have preferred at this point in time, but I don't think we can shave much off this and still get the desired results. In detail, this pull request contains: - a set of five fixes for NVMe, mostly from Christoph and one from Roland. - a series from Bart, fixing issues with dm-mq and SCSI shared tags and scheduling. Note that one of those patches commit messages may read like an optimization, but it is in fact an important fix for queue restarts in particular. - a series from Omar, most importantly fixing a hang with multiple hardware queues when we fail to get a driver tag.

ops->show() can return a negative error code. Commit 65da3484 ("sysfs: correctly handle short reads on PREALLOC attrs.") (in v4.4) caused this to be stored in an unsigned 'size_t' variable, so errors would look like large numbers. As a result, if an error is returned, sysfs_kf_read() will return the value of 'count', typically 4096. Commit 17d0774f ("sysfs: correctly handle read offset on PREALLOC attrs") (in v4.8) extended this error to use the unsigned large 'len' as a size for memmove(). Consequently, if ->show returns an error, then the first read() on the sysfs file will return 4096 and could return uninitialized memory to user-space. If the application performs a subsequent read, this will trigger a memmove() with extremely large count, and is likely to crash the machine is bizarre ways. This bug can currently only be triggered by reading from an md sysfs attribute declared with __ATTR_PREALLOC() during the brief period between when mddev_put() deletes an mddev from the ->all_mddevs list, and when mddev_delayed_delete() - which is scheduled on a workqueue - completes. Before this, an error won't be returned by the ->show() After this, the ->show() won't be called. I can reproduce it reliably only by putting delay like usleep_range(500000,700000); early in mddev_delayed_delete(). Then after creating an md device md0 run echo clear > /sys/block/md0/md/array_state; cat /sys/block/md0/md/array_state The bug can be triggered without the usleep.
