MIPS: Avoid using .set mips0 to restore ISA

We currently have 2 commonly used methods for switching ISA within
assembly code, then restoring the original ISA.

1) Using a pair of .set push & .set pop directives. For example:

.set push
.set mips32r2
<some_insn>
.set pop

2) Using .set mips0 to restore the ISA originally specified on the
command line. For example:

.set mips32r2
<some_insn>
.set mips0

Unfortunately method 2 does not work with nanoMIPS toolchains, where the
assembler rejects the .set mips0 directive like so:

Error: cannot change ISA from nanoMIPS to mips0

In preparation for supporting nanoMIPS builds, switch all instances of
method 2 in generic non-platform-specific code to use push & pop as in
method 1 instead. The .set push & .set pop is arguably cleaner anyway,
and if nothing else it's good to consistently use one method.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

EDAC: Cleanup atomic_scrub mess

So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks
like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub().

The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new
arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to
define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile.

So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each
arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c
for ifdeffery. Much cleaner.

And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This
is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches
which need/have EDAC support and drivers.

This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

MIPS: Fix microMIPS LL/SC immediate offsets

In the microMIPS encoding some memory access instructions have their
immediate offset reduced to 12 bits only. That does not match the GCC
`R' constraint we use in some places to satisfy the requirement,
resulting in build failures like this:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:720: Error: macro used $at after ".set noat"
{standard input}:720: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions

Fix the problem by defining a macro, `GCC_OFF12_ASM', that expands to
the right constraint depending on whether microMIPS or standard MIPS
code is produced. Also apply the fix to where `m' is used as in the
worst case this change does nothing, e.g. where the pointer was already
in a register such as a function argument and no further offset was
requested, and in the best case it avoids an extraneous sequence of up
to two instructions to load the high 20 bits of the address in the LL/SC
loop. This reduces the risk of lock contention that is the higher the
more instructions there are in the critical section between LL and SC.

Strictly speaking we could just bulk-replace `R' with `ZC' as the latter
constraint adjusts automatically depending on the ISA selected.
However it was only introduced with GCC 4.9 and we keep supporing older
compilers for the standard MIPS configuration, hence the slightly more
complicated approach I chose.

The choice of a zero-argument function-like rather than an object-like
macro was made so that it does not look like a function call taking the
C expression used for the constraint as an argument. This is so as not
to confuse the reader or formatting checkers like `checkpatch.pl' and
follows previous practice.
