To support more than 48 CPUs, the bootinfo structure grows a new

the sysinfo structure, and use it in smp_setup().

MIPS: Octeon: Fix kernel panic on startup from memory corruption

During development it was found that a number of builds would panic
during the kernel init process, more specifically in 'delayed_fput()'.
The panic showed the kernel trying to access a memory address of
'0xb7fdc00' while traversing the 'delayed_fput_list' structure.
Comparing this memory address to the value of the pointer used on
builds that did not panic confirmed that the pointer on crashing
builds must have been corrupted at some stage earlier in the init
process.

By traversing the list earlier and earlier in the code it was found
that 'plat_mem_setup()' was responsible for corrupting the list.
Specifically the line:

memory = cvmx_bootmem_phy_alloc(mem_alloc_size,
__pa_symbol(&__init_end), -1,
0x100000,
CVMX_BOOTMEM_FLAG_NO_LOCKING);

Which would eventually call:

cvmx_bootmem_phy_set_size(new_ent_addr,
cvmx_bootmem_phy_get_size
(ent_addr) -
(desired_min_addr -
ent_addr));

Where 'new_ent_addr'=0x4800000 (the address of 'delayed_fput_list')
and the second argument (size)=0xb7fdc00 (the address causing the
kernel panic). The job of this part of 'plat_mem_setup()' is to
allocate chunks of memory for the kernel to use. At the start of
each chunk of memory the size of the chunk is written, hence the
value 0xb7fdc00 is written onto memory at 0x4800000, therefore the
kernel panics when it goes back to access 'delayed_fput_list' later
on in the initialisation process.

On builds that were not crashing it was found that the compiler had
placed 'delayed_fput_list' at 0x4800008, meaning it wasn't corrupted
(but something else in memory was overwritten).

As can be seen in the first function call above the code begins to
allocate chunks of memory beginning from the symbol '__init_end'.
The MIPS linker script (vmlinux.lds.S) however defines the .bss
section to begin after '__init_end'. Therefore memory within the
.bss section is allocated to the kernel to use (System.map shows
'delayed_fput_list' and other kernel structures to be in .bss).

To stop the kernel panic (and the .bss section being corrupted)
memory should begin being allocated from the symbol '_end'.

MIPS: OCTEON: Add semaphore to serialize bootbus accesses.

Some hardware blocks attached to the OCTEON bootbus run asynchronously
to accesses from the CPUs. These include MMC/SD host, CF(when using
DMA), and NAND controller. A bus error, or corrupt data may occur if
a CPU is trying to access a bootbus connected device at the same time
the bus is running asynchronous operations.

To work around these problems we add this semaphore that must be
acquired before initiating bootbus activity. Subsequent patches will
add users for this.

MIPS: OCTEON: make get_system_type() thread-safe

get_system_type() is not thread-safe on OCTEON. It uses static data,
also more dangerous issue is that it's calling cvmx_fuse_read_byte()
every time without any synchronization. Currently it's possible to get
processes stuck looping forever in kernel simply by launching multiple
readers of /proc/cpuinfo:

(while true; do cat /proc/cpuinfo > /dev/null; done) &
(while true; do cat /proc/cpuinfo > /dev/null; done) &

Fix by initializing the system type string only once during the early

Fix I/O space setup, so that on non-PCI systems using inb()/outb()
won't crash the system. Some drivers may try to probe I/O space and for
that purpose we can just allocate some normal memory initially. Drivers
trying to reserve a region will fail early as we set the size to 0. If
a real I/O space is present, the PCI/PCIe support code will re-adjust
the values accordingly.

Tested with EdgeRouter Lite by enabling CONFIG_SERIO_I8042 that caused
the originally reported crash.

MIPS: Octeon: Don't clobber bootloader data structures.

Commit abe77f90dc (MIPS: Octeon: Add kexec and kdump support) added a
bootmem region for the kernel image itself. The problem is that this
is rounded up to a 0x100000 boundary, which is memory that may not be
owned by the kernel. Depending on the kernel's configuration based
size, this 'extra' memory may contain data passed from the bootloader
to the kernel itself, which if clobbered makes the kernel crash in
various ways.

The fix: Quit rounding the size up, so that we only use memory
assigned to the kernel.
