[ Upstream commit 47ce8527fbba145a7723685bc9a27d9855e06491 ]

Accessing raw timers (currently only CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) through VDSO
doesn't return the correct time when using the GIC as clock source.
The address of the GIC mapped page is in this case not calculated
correctly. The GIC mapped page is calculated from the VDSO data by
subtracting PAGE_SIZE:

  void *get_gic(const struct vdso_data *data) {
    return (void __iomem *)data - PAGE_SIZE;
  }

However, the data pointer is not page aligned for raw clock sources.
This is because the VDSO data for raw clock sources (CS_RAW = 1) is
stored after the VDSO data for coarse clock sources (CS_HRES_COARSE = 0).
Therefore, only the VDSO data for CS_HRES_COARSE is page aligned:

  +--------------------+
  |                    |
  | vd[CS_RAW]         | ---+
  | vd[CS_HRES_COARSE] |    |
  +--------------------+    | -PAGE_SIZE
  |                    |    |
  |  GIC mapped page   | &lt;--+
  |                    |
  +--------------------+

When __arch_get_hw_counter() is called with &amp;vd[CS_RAW], get_gic returns
the wrong address (somewhere inside the GIC mapped page). The GIC counter
values are not returned which results in an invalid time.

<title>mips: always link byteswap helpers into decompressor</title>

[ Upstream commit cddc40f5617e53f97ef019d5b29c1bd6cbb031ec ]

My series to clean up the unaligned access implementation
across architectures caused some mips randconfig builds to
fail with:

   mips64-linux-ld: arch/mips/boot/compressed/decompress.o: in function `decompress_kernel':
   decompress.c:(.text.decompress_kernel+0x54): undefined reference to `__bswapsi2'

It turns out that this problem has already been fixed for the XZ
decompressor but now it also shows up in (at least) LZO and LZ4.  From my
analysis I concluded that the compiler could always have emitted those
calls, but the different implementation allowed it to make otherwise
better decisions about not inlining the byteswap, which results in the
link error when the out-of-line code is missing.

While it could be addressed by adding it to the two decompressor
implementations that are known to be affected, but as this only adds
112 bytes to the kernel, the safer choice is to always add them.

commit cad065ed8d8831df67b9754cc4437ed55d8b48c0 upstream.

MIPS MT extensions were added with the MIPS 34K processor, which was
based on the MIPS32r2 ISA.

This fixes a build error when building a generic kernel for a MIPS32r1
CPU.

malta_defconfig with Clang via `make LLVM_IAS=1`.

[ Upstream commit 6817c944430d00f71ccaa9c99ff5b0096aeb7873 ]

The cause of the problem is as follows:
1. when cat /sys/devices/system/memory/memory0/valid_zones,
   test_pages_in_a_zone() will be called.
2. test_pages_in_a_zone() finds the zone according to stat_pfn = 0.
   The smallest pfn of the numa node in the mips architecture is 128,
   and the page corresponding to the previous 0~127 pfn is not
   initialized (page-&gt;flags is 0xFFFFFFFF)
3. The nid and zonenum obtained using page_zone(pfn_to_page(0)) are out
   of bounds in the corresponding array,
   &amp;NODE_DATA(page_to_nid(page))-&gt;node_zones[page_zonenum(page)],
   access to the out-of-bounds zone member variables appear abnormal,
   resulting in Oops.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep the page between 0 and the minimum
pfn to prevent Oops from appearing.

[ Upstream commit e8b9eab99232c4e62ada9d7976c80fd5e8118289 ]

It's getting more common to run nested container environments for
testing cloud software. One of such examples is Kind [1] which runs a
Kubernetes cluster in Docker containers on a single host. Each container
acts as a Kubernetes node, and thus can run any Pod (aka container)
inside the former. This approach simplifies testing a lot, as it
eliminates complicated VM setups.

Unfortunately, such a setup breaks some functionality when cgroupv2 BPF
programs are used for load-balancing. The load-balancer BPF program
needs to detect whether a request originates from the host netns or a
container netns in order to allow some access, e.g. to a service via a
loopback IP address. Typically, the programs detect this by comparing
netns cookies with the one of the init ns via a call to
bpf_get_netns_cookie(NULL). However, in nested environments the latter
cannot be used given the Kubernetes node's netns is outside the init ns.
To fix this, we need to pass the Kubernetes node netns cookie to the
program in a different way: by extending getsockopt() with a
SO_NETNS_COOKIE option, the orchestrator which runs in the Kubernetes
node netns can retrieve the cookie and pass it to the program instead.

Thus, this is following up on Eric's commit 3d368ab87cf6 ("net:
initialize net-&gt;net_cookie at netns setup") to allow retrieval via
SO_NETNS_COOKIE.  This is also in line in how we retrieve socket cookie
via SO_COOKIE.

This fixes Page Table accounting bug.

MIPS is the ONLY arch just defining __HAVE_ARCH_PMD_ALLOC_ONE alone.
Since commit b2b29d6d011944 (mm: account PMD tables like PTE tables),
"pmd_free" in asm-generic with PMD table accounting and "pmd_alloc_one"
in MIPS without PMD table accounting causes PageTable accounting number
negative, which read by global_zone_page_state(), always returns 0.

The clock driving the XBurst CPUs in Ingenic SoCs is integer divided
from the main PLL. As such, it is possible to control the frequency of
the CPU, either by changing the divider, or by changing the rate of the
main PLL.

The XBurst CPUs also lack the CP0 timer; the TCU, a separate piece of
hardware in the SoC, provides this functionality.
