mips: Fix max_mapnr being uninitialized on early stages

commit e1a9ae45736989c972a8d1c151bc390678ae6205 upstream.

mips: Fix max_mapnr being uninitialized on early stages

commit e1a9ae45736989c972a8d1c151bc390678ae6205 upstream.

max_mapnr variable is utilized in the pfn_valid() method in order to
determine the upper PFN space boundary. Having it uninitialized
effectively makes any PFN passed to that method invalid. That in its turn
causes the kernel mm-subsystem occasion malfunctions even after the
max_mapnr variable is actually properly updated. For instance,
pfn_valid() is called in the init_unavailable_range() method in the
framework of the calls-chain on MIPS:
setup_arch()
+-> paging_init()
+-> free_area_init()
+-> memmap_init()
+-> memmap_init_zone_range()
+-> init_unavailable_range()

Since pfn_valid() always returns "false" value before max_mapnr is
initialized in the mem_init() method, any flatmem page-holes will be left
in the poisoned/uninitialized state including the IO-memory pages. Thus
any further attempts to map/remap the IO-memory by using MMU may fail.
In particular it happened in my case on attempt to map the SRAM region.
The kernel bootup procedure just crashed on the unhandled unaligned access
bug raised in the __update_cache() method:

> Unhandled kernel unaligned access[#1]:
> CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.7.0-rc1-XXX-dirty #2056
> ...
> Call Trace:
> [<8011ef9c>] __update_cache+0x88/0x1bc
> [<80385944>] ioremap_page_range+0x110/0x2a4

> [<80889d20>] platform_probe+0x68/0xec
> ...

Let's fix the problem by initializing the max_mapnr variable as soon as
the required data is available. In particular it can be done right in the
paging_init() method before free_area_init() is called since all the PFN
zone boundaries have already been calculated by that time.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h>
in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do
sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f
done

mips: MAAR: Add XPA mode support

When XPA mode is enabled the normally 32-bits MAAR pair registers
are extended to be of 64-bits width as in pure 64-bits MIPS
architecture. In this case the MAAR registers can enable the
speculative loads/stores for addresses of up to 39-bits width.
But in this case the process of the MAAR initialization changes a bit.
The upper 32-bits of the registers are supposed to be accessed by mean
of the dedicated instructions mfhc0/mthc0 and there is a CP0.MAAR.VH
bit which should be set together with CP0.MAAR.VL as indication
of the boundary validity. All of these peculiarities were taken into
account in this commit so the speculative loads/stores would work
when XPA mode is enabled.

MIPS: MemoryMapID (MMID) Support

Introduce support for using MemoryMapIDs (MMIDs) as an alternative to
Address Space IDs (ASIDs). The major difference between the two is that
MMIDs are global - ie. an MMID uniquely identifies an address space
across all coherent CPUs. In contrast ASIDs are non-global per-CPU IDs,
wherein each address space is allocated a separate ASID for each CPU
upon which it is used. This global namespace allows a new GINVT
instruction be used to globally invalidate TLB entries associated with a
particular MMID across all coherent CPUs in the system, removing the
need for IPIs to invalidate entries with separate ASIDs on each CPU.

The allocation scheme used here is largely borrowed from arm64 (see
arch/arm64/mm/context.c). In essence we maintain a bitmap to track
available MMIDs, and MMIDs in active use at the time of a rollover to a
new MMID version are preserved in the new version. The allocation scheme
requires efficient 64 bit atomics in order to perform reasonably, so
this support depends upon CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64=n (ie. currently it
will only be included in MIPS64 kernels).

The first, and currently only, available CPU with support for MMIDs is
the MIPS I6500. This CPU supports 16 bit MMIDs, and so for now we cap
our MMIDs to 16 bits wide in order to prevent the bitmap growing to
absurd sizes if any future CPU does implement 32 bit MMIDs as the
architecture manuals suggest is recommended.

When MMIDs are in use we also make use of GINVT instruction which is
available due to the global nature of MMIDs. By executing a sequence of
GINVT & SYNC 0x14 instructions we can avoid the overhead of an IPI to
each remote CPU in many cases. One complication is that GINVT will
invalidate wired entries (in all cases apart from type 0, which targets
the entire TLB). In order to avoid GINVT invalidating any wired TLB
entries we set up, we make sure to create those entries using a reserved
MMID (0) that we never associate with any address space.

Also of note is that KVM will require further work in order to support
MMIDs & GINVT, since KVM is involved in allocating IDs for guests & in
configuring the MMU. That work is not part of this patch, so for now
when MMIDs are in use KVM is disabled.
