When discovering the number of VPEs per core, smp_num_siblings will be incorrect for kernels built without support for the MIPS MultiThreading (MT) ASE running on systems which implement said ASE. This leads to accesses to VPEs in secondary cores being performed incorrectly since mips_cm_vp_id calculates the wrong ID to write to the local "other" registers. Fix this by examining the number of VPEs in the core as reported by the CM. This patch presumes that the number of VPEs will be the same in each core of the system. As this path only applies to systems with CM version 2.5 or lower, and this property is true of all such known systems, this is likely to be fine but is described in a comment for good measure.

The paging_init() function contains code which detects that highmem is in use but unsupported due to dcache aliasing. However this code was ineffective because it was being run before the caches are probed, meaning that cpu_has_dc_aliases would always evaluate to false (unless a platform overrides it to a compile-time constant) and the detection of the unsupported case is never triggered. The kernel would then go on to attempt to use highmem & either hit coherency issues or trigger the BUG_ON in flush_kernel_dcache_page(). Fix this by running paging_init() later than cpu_cache_init(), such that the cpu_has_dc_aliases macro will evaluate correctly & the unsupported highmem case will be detected successfully. This then leads to a formerly hidden issue in that mem_init_free_highmem() will attempt to free all highmem pages, even though we're avoiding use of them & don't have valid page structs for them. This leads to an invalid pointer dereference & a TLB exception. Avoid this by skipping the loop in mem_init_free_highmem() if cpu_has_dc_aliases evaluates true.

Malta boards used with CPU emulators feature a switch to disable use of an IOCU. Software has to check this switch & ignore any present IOCU if the switch is closed. The read used to do this was unsafe for 64 bit kernels, as it simply casted the address 0xbf403000 to a pointer & dereferenced it. Whilst in a 32 bit kernel this would access kseg1, in a 64 bit kernel this attempts to access xuseg & results in an address error exception. Fix by accessing a correctly formed ckseg1 address generated using the CKSEG1ADDR macro. Whilst modifying this code, define the name of the register and the bit we care about within it, which indicates whether PCI DMA is routed to the IOCU or straight to DRAM. The code previously checked that bit 0 was also set, but the least significant 7 bits of the CONFIG_GEN0 register contain the value of the MReqInfo signal provided to the IOCU OCP bus, so singling out bit 0 makes little sense & that part of the check is dropped.

When the kernel is built for microMIPS, branches targets need to be known to be microMIPS code in order to result in bit 0 of the PC being set. The branch target in the BUILD_ROLLBACK_PROLOGUE macro was simply the end of the macro, which may be pointing at padding rather than at code. This results in recent enough GNU linkers complaining like so: mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .text+0x3e3c: Unsupported branch between ISA modes. mips-img-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value Makefile:936: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 Fix this by changing the branch target to be the start of the appropriate handler, skipping over any padding.

On current P-series cores from Imagination the FTLB can be enabled or disabled via a bit in the Config6 register, and an execution hazard is created by changing the value of bit. The ftlb_disable function already cleared that hazard but that does no good for other callers. Clear the hazard in the set_ftlb_enable function that creates it, and only for the cores where it applies. This has the effect of reverting c982c6d6 ("MIPS: cpu-probe: Remove cp0 hazard barrier when enabling the FTLB") which was incorrect.

On some cores (proAptiv, P5600) we make use of the sizes of the TLBs to determine the desired FTLB:VTLB write ratio. However set_ftlb_enable & thus calculate_ftlb_probability is called before decode_config4. This results in us calculating a probability based on zero sizes, and we end up setting FTLBP=3 for a 3:1 FTLB:VTLB write ratio in all cases. This will make abysmal use of the available FTLB resources in the affected cores. Fix this by configuring the FTLB probability after having decoded config4. However we do need to have enabled the FTLB before that point such that fields in config4 actually reflect that an FTLB is present. So set_ftlb_enable is now called twice, with flags indicating that it should configure the write probability only the second time.

The FTLBP field in Config7 for the I6400 is intended as chicken bits for debugging rather than as a field that software actually makes use of. For best performance, FTLBP should be left at its default value of 0 with all TLB writes hitting the FTLB by default. Additionally, since set_ftlb_enable is called from decode_configs before decode_config4 which determines the size of the TLBs, this was previously always setting FTLBP=3 for a 3:1 FTLB:VTLB write ratio which makes abysmal use of the available FTLB resources.

Commit 0d2808f3 ("MIPS: smp-cps: Add support for CPU hotplug of MIPSr6 processors") added a call to mips_cm_lock_other in order to lock the CPC in CPUs containing a version 3 or higher Coherence Manager, which use the general CM core other register, where previous CMs had a dedicated core other register for the CPC. A kernel BUG() is triggered, however, if mips_cm_lock_other is called with a VP other than 0 on a CPU with CM < 3, a condition introduced by 0d2808f3. Avoid the BUG() by always locking VP0 when locking the CPC, since the required register, cpc_stat_conf, is shared by all vps in a core.

The NUMA balancing logic uses an arch-specific PROT_NONE page table flag defined by pte_protnone() or pmd_protnone() to mark PTEs or huge page PMDs respectively as requiring balancing upon a subsequent page fault. User-defined PROT_NONE memory regions which also have this flag set will not normally invoke the NUMA balancing code as do_page_fault() will send a segfault to the process before handle_mm_fault() is even called. However if access_remote_vm() is invoked to access a PROT_NONE region of memory, handle_mm_fault() is called via faultin_page() and __get_user_pages() without any access checks being performed, meaning the NUMA balancing logic is incorrectly invoked on a non-NUMA memory region. A simple means of triggering this problem is to access PROT_NONE mmap'd memory using /proc/self/mem which reliably results in the NUMA handling functions being invoked when CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING is set. This issue was reported in bugzilla (issue 99101) which includes some simple repro code. There are BUG_ON() checks in do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page() added at commit c0e7cad9 to avoid accidentally provoking strange behaviour by attempting to apply NUMA balancing to pages that are in fact PROT_NONE. The BUG_ON()'s are consistently triggered by the repro. This patch moves the PROT_NONE check into mm/memory.c rather than invoking BUG_ON() as faulting in these pages via faultin_page() is a valid reason for reaching the NUMA check with the PROT_NONE page table flag set and is therefore not always a bug.

The fixes to the radix tree test suite show that the multi-order case is broken. The basic reason is that the radix tree code uses tagged pointers with the "internal" bit in the low bits, and calculating the pointer indices was supposed to mask off those bits. But gcc will notice that we then use the index to re-create the pointer, and will avoid doing the arithmetic and use the tagged pointer directly. This cleans the code up, using the existing is_sibling_entry() helper to validate the sibling pointer range (instead of open-coding it), and using entry_to_node() to mask off the low tag bit from the pointer. And once you do that, you might as well just use the now cleaned-up pointer directly. [ Side note: the multi-order code isn't actually ever used in the kernel right now, and the only reason I didn't just delete all that code is that Kirill Shutemov piped up and said: "Well, my ext4-with-huge-pages patchset[1] uses multi-order entries. It also converts shmem-with-huge-pages and hugetlb to them. I'm okay with converting it to other mechanism, but I need something. (I looked into Konstantin's RFC patchset[2]. It looks okay, but I don't feel myself qualified to review it as I don't know much about radix-tree internals.)"

This patch fixes the possibility of a deadlock when bringing up secondary CPUs. The deadlock occurs because the set_cpu_online() is called before synchronise_count_slave(). This can cause a deadlock if the boot CPU, having scheduled another thread, attempts to send an IPI to the secondary CPU, which it sees has been marked online. The secondary is blocked in synchronise_count_slave() waiting for the boot CPU to enter synchronise_count_master(), but the boot cpu is blocked in smp_call_function_many() waiting for the secondary to respond to it's IPI request. Fix this by marking the CPU online in cpu_callin_map and synchronising counters before declaring the CPU online and calculating the maps for IPIs.

init_tlb_ubc() looked unnecessary to me: tlb_ubc is statically initialized with zeroes in the init_task, and copied from parent to child while it is quiescent in arch_dup_task_struct(); so I went to delete it. But inserted temporary debug WARN_ONs in place of init_tlb_ubc() to check that it was always empty at that point, and found them firing: because memcg reclaim can recurse into global reclaim (when allocating biosets for swapout in my case), and arrive back at the init_tlb_ubc() in shrink_node_memcg(). Resetting tlb_ubc.flush_required at that point is wrong: if the upper level needs a deferred TLB flush, but the lower level turns out not to, we miss a TLB flush. But fortunately, that's the only part of the protocol that does not nest: with the initialization removed, cpumask collects bits from upper and lower levels, and flushes TLB when needed.

shmem_get_unmapped_area() checks SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge incorrectly, which leads to a reversed effect of "huge=" mount option. Fix the check in shmem_get_unmapped_area(). Note, the default value of SHMEM_SB(sb)->huge remains as SHMEM_HUGE_NEVER. User will need to specify "huge=" option to enable huge page mappings.
