[ Upstream commit bea6a94a279bcbe6b2cde348782b28baf12255a5 ]

Starting with following patch MIPS Malta is not able to boot:
| commit 79edff12060fe7772af08607eff50c0e2486c5ba
| Author: Rob Herring &lt;robh@kernel.org&gt;
| scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9

The reason is the alignment test added to the fdt_ro_probe_(). To fix
this issue, we need to make sure that fdt_buf is aligned.

Since the dtc patch was designed to uncover potential issue, I handle
initial MIPS Malta patch as initial bug.

<title>MIPS: Malta: Do not byte-swap accesses to the CBUS UART</title>

commit 9a936d6c3d3d6c33ecbadf72dccdb567b5cd3c72 upstream.

Correct big-endian accesses to the CBUS UART, a Malta on-board discrete
TI16C550C part wired directly to the system controller's device bus, and
do not use byte swapping with the 32-bit accesses to the device.

The CBUS is used for devices such as the boot flash memory needed early
on in system bootstrap even before PCI has been initialised.  Therefore
it uses the system controller's device bus, which follows the endianness
set with the CPU, which means no byte-swapping is ever required for data
accesses to CBUS, unlike with PCI.

The CBUS UART uses the UPIO_MEM32 access method, that is the `readl' and
`writel' MMIO accessors, which on the MIPS platform imply byte-swapping
with PCI systems.  Consequently the wrong byte lane is accessed with the
big-endian configuration and the UART is not correctly accessed.

As it happens the UPIO_MEM32BE access method makes use of the `ioread32'
and `iowrite32' MMIO accessors, which still use `readl' and `writel'
respectively, however they byte-swap data passed, effectively cancelling
swapping done with the accessors themselves and making it suitable for
the CBUS UART.

Make the CBUS UART switch between UPIO_MEM32 and UPIO_MEM32BE then,
based on the endianness selected.  With this change in place the device
is correctly recognised with big-endian Malta at boot, along with the
Super I/O devices behind PCI:

Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 5 ports, IRQ sharing enabled
printk: console [ttyS0] disabled
serial8250.0: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
printk: console [ttyS0] enabled
printk: bootconsole [uart8250] disabled
serial8250.0: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
serial8250.0: ttyS2 at MMIO 0x1f000900 (irq = 20, base_baud = 230400) is a 16550A

[ Upstream commit 28bbbb9875a35975904e46f9b06fa689d051b290 ]

When cross compiling a MIPS kernel on a BSD based HOSTCC leads
to errors like

  SYNC    include/config/auto.conf.cmd - due to: .config
egrep: empty (sub)expression
  UPD     include/config/kernel.release
  HOSTCC  scripts/dtc/dtc.o - due to target missing

It turns out that egrep uses this egrep pattern:

		(|MINOR_|PATCHLEVEL_)

This is not valid syntax or gives undefined results according
to POSIX 9.5.3 ERE Grammar

	https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html

It seems to be silently accepted by the Linux egrep implementation
while a BSD host complains.

Such patterns can be replaced by a transformation like

	"(|p1|p2)" -&gt; "(p1|p2)?"

<title>bpf: Introduce BPF nospec instruction for mitigating Spectre v4</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit f5e81d1117501546b7be050c5fbafa6efd2c722c ]

In case of JITs, each of the JIT backends compiles the BPF nospec instruction
/either/ to a machine instruction which emits a speculation barrier /or/ to
/no/ machine instruction in case the underlying architecture is not affected
by Speculative Store Bypass or has different mitigations in place already.

This covers both x86 and (implicitly) arm64: In case of x86, we use 'lfence'
instruction for mitigation. In case of arm64, we rely on the firmware mitigation
as controlled via the ssbd kernel parameter. Whenever the mitigation is enabled,
it works for all of the kernel code with no need to provide any additional
instructions here (hence only comment in arm64 JIT). Other archs can follow
as needed. The BPF nospec instruction is specifically targeting Spectre v4
since i) we don't use a serialization barrier for the Spectre v1 case, and
ii) mitigation instructions for v1 and v4 might be different on some archs.

The BPF nospec is required for a future commit, where the BPF verifier does
annotate intermediate BPF programs with speculation barriers.

[ 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.
