The vmlinux load address and entry address is calculated in multiple
places:
- arch/mips/Makefile defines load-y from CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START (or
defined by the platform) and passes it to
arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile.
- arch/mips/boot/compressed/Makefile calculates kernel entry using nm.
- arch/mips/lasat/image/Makefile calculates both load and entry address
using nm.
Lets combine these in the main Makefile and then pass them as Make
parameters to each of the three boot image Makefiles (in boot/,
boot/compressed, lasat/image/). The boot/ Makefile doesn't currently use
them, but will soon need to for U-Boot image targets.
The existing load-y definition is used in preference to calculating the
load address using nm.

Merge lockref infrastructure code by me and Waiman Long.
I already merged some of the preparatory patches that didn't actually do
any semantic changes earlier, but this merges the actual _reason_ for
those preparatory patches.
The "lockref" structure is a combination "spinlock and reference count"
that allows optimized reference count accesses. In particular, it
guarantees that the reference count will be updated AS IF the spinlock
was held, but using atomic accesses that cover both the reference count
and the spinlock words, we can often do the update without actually
having to take the lock.
This allows us to avoid the nastiest cases of spinlock contention on
large machines under heavy pathname lookup loads. When updating the
dentry reference counts on a large system, we'll still end up with the
cache line bouncing around, but that's much less noticeable than
actually having to spin waiting for the lock.
* lockref:
lockref: implement lockless reference count updates using cmpxchg()
lockref: uninline lockref helper functions
vfs: reimplement d_rcu_to_refcount() using lockref_get_or_lock()
vfs: use lockref_get_not_zero() for optimistic lockless dget_parent()
lockref: add 'lockref_get_or_lock() helper
The NR_CPUS_DEFAULT_1 introduced as an aid for the QEMU
platform in 72ede9b189
"[MIPS] Qemu: Fix Symmetric Uniprocessor support"
which was later removed in
302922e5f6
"[MIPS] Qemu: Remove platform."
On certain randconfigs it may happen for NR_CPUS to have an
empty value because not all SMP platforms select a suitable
NR_CPUS_DEFAULT_* value. We fix this by restoring the range
of NR_CPUS to 2..64 and drop the NR_CPUS_DEFAULT_{1,2} symbols.
The first one is no longer used and the latter is not needed since
NR_CPUS=2 is now the default value.
Fixes the following problem on a randconfig:

Dynamic function tracing was not working on MIPS. When doing dynamic
tracing, the tracer attempts to match up the passed in address with
the one the compiler creates in the mcount tables. The MIPS code was
passing in the return address from the tracing function call, but the
compiler tables were the address of the function call. So they
wouldn't match.
Just subtracting 8 from the return address will give the address of
the function call. Easy enough.

This is a fix for a bug introduced with commit
447cdf2628, submitted as archived here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/cgi-bin/mesg.cgi?a=linux-mips&i=20080312235002.c717dde3.yoichi_yuasa%40tripeaks.co.jp
regrettably with no further explanation.
The issue is with the CP0 Count register read erratum present on R4000 and
some R4400 processors. If this erratum is present, then a read from this
register that happens around the time it reaches the value stored in the
CP0 Compare register causes a CP0 timer interrupt that is supposed to
happen when the values in the two registers match to be missed. The
implication for the chips affected is the CP0 timer can be used either as
a source of a timer interrupt (a clock event) or as a source of a
high-resolution counter (a clock source), but not both at a time.
The erratum does not affect timer interrupt operation itself, because in
this case the CP0 Count register is only read while the timer interrupt
has already been raised, while high-resolution counter references happen
at random times.
Additionally some systems apparently have issues with the timer interrupt
line being routed externally and not following the usual CP0 Count/Compare
semantics. In this case we don't want to use the R4k clock event.
We've meant to address the erratum and the timer interrupt routing issue
in time_init, however the commit referred to above broke our solution.
What we currently have is we enable the R4k clock source if the R4k clock
event initialization has succeeded (the timer is present and has no timer
interrupt routing issue) or there is no CP0 Count register read erratum.
Which gives the following boolean matrix:
clock event | count erratum => clock source
------------+---------------+--------------
0 | 0 | 1 (OK)
0 | 1 | 0 (bug!) -> no interference, could use
1 | 0 | 1 (OK)
1 | 1 | 1 (bug!) -> can't use, interference
What we want instead is to enable the R4k clock source if there is no CP0
Count register read erratum (obviously) or the R4k clock event
initialization has *failed* -- because in the latter case we won't be
using the timer interrupt anyway, so we don't care about any interference
CP0 Count reads might cause with the interrupt. This corresponds to the
following boolean matrix:
clock event | count erratum => clock source
------------+---------------+--------------
0 | 0 | 1
0 | 1 | 1
1 | 0 | 1
1 | 1 | 0
This is implemented here, effectively reverting the problematic commit,
and a short explanation is given next to code modified so that the
rationale is known to future readers and confusion is prevented from
happening here again.
It is worth noting that mips_clockevent_init returns 0 upon success while
cpu_has_mfc0_count_bug returns 0 upon failure. This is because the former
function returns an error code while the latter returns a boolean value.
To signify the difference I have therefore chosen to compare the result of
the former call explicitly against 0.

Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.
Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.
So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.
The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:
(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.
(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.
This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an
entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling
__put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the
STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest.
Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad
for performance.
Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace
__[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only
architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().
