ARM: 9352/1: iwmmxt: Remove support for PJ4/PJ4B cores
[ Upstream commit b9920fdd5a751df129808e7fa512e9928223ee05 ]
PJ4 is a v7 core that incorporates a iWMMXt coprocessor. However, GCC does not support this combination (its iWMMXt configuration always implies v5te), and so there is no v6/v7 user space that actually makes use of this, beyond generic support for things like setjmp() that preserve/restore the iWMMXt register file using generic LDC/STC instructions emitted in assembler. As [0] appears to imply, this logic is triggered for the init process at boot, and so most user threads will have a iWMMXt register context associated with it, even though it is never used.
At this point, it is highly unlikely that such GCC support will ever materialize (and Clang does not implement support for iWMMXt to begin with).
This means that advertising iWMMXt support on these cores results in context switch overhead without any associated benefit, and so it is better to simply ignore the iWMMXt unit on these systems. So rip out the support. Doing so also fixes the issue reported in [0] related to UNDEF handling of co-processor #0/#1 instructions issued from user space running in Thumb2 mode.
The PJ4 cores are used in four platforms: Armada 370/xp, Dove (Cubox, d2plug), MMP2 (xo-1.75) and Berlin (Google TV). Out of these, only the first is still widely used, but that one actually doesn't have iWMMXt but instead has only VFPV3-D16, and so it is not impacted by this change.

Merge tag 'soc-dt-6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc
Pull ARM SoC devicetree updates from Arnd Bergmann: "The biggest change this time is for the 32-bit devicetree files, which are all moved to a new location, using separate subdirectories for each SoC vendor, following the same scheme that is used on arm64, mips and riscv. This has been discussed for many years, but so far we never did this as there was a plan to move the files out of the kernel entirely, which has never happened.
The impact of this will be that all external patches no longer apply, and anything depending on the location of the dtb files in the build directory will have to change. The installed files after 'make dtbs_install' keep the current location.
There are six added SoCs here that are largely variants of previously added chips. Two other chips are added in a separate branch along with their device drivers.
- The Samsung Exynos 4212 makes its return after the Samsung Galaxy Express phone is addded at last. The SoC support was originally added in 2012 but removed again in 2017 as it was unused at the time.
- Amlogic C3 is a Cortex-A35 based smart IP camera chip
- Qualcomm MSM8939 (Snapdragon 615) is a more featureful variant of the still common MSM8916 (Snapdragon 410) phone chip that has been supported for a long time.
- Qualcomm SC8180x (Snapdragon 8cx) is one of their earlier high-end laptop chips, used in the Lenovo Flex 5G, which is added along with the reference board.
- Qualcomm SDX75 is the latest generation modem chip that is used as a peripherial in phones but can also run a standalone Linux. Unlike the prior 32-bit SDX65 and SDX55, this now has a 64-bit Cortex-A55.
- Alibaba T-Head TH1520 is a quad-core RISC-V chip based on the Xuantie C910 core, a step up from all previously added rv64 chips.
All of the above come with reference board implementations, those included there are 39 new board files, but only five more 32-bit this time, probably a new low:
- Marantec Maveo board based on dhcor imx6ull module
- Endian 4i Edge 200, based on the armv5 Marvell Kirkwood chip
- Epson Moverio BT-200 AR glasses based on TI OMAP4
- PHYTEC STM32MP1-3 Dev board based on STM32MP15 PHYTEC SOM
- ICnova ADB4006 board based on Allwinner A20
On the 64-bit side, there are also fewer addded machines than we had in the recent releases:
- Three boards based on NXP i.MX8: Emtop SoM & Baseboard, NXP i.MX8MM EVKB board and i.MX8MP based Gateworks Venice gw7905-2x device.
- NVIDIA IGX Orin and Jetson Orin Nano boards, both based on tegra234
- Qualcomm gains support for 6 reference boards on various members of their IPQ networking SoC series, as well as the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua phone, the Acer Aspire 1 laptop, and the Fxtec Pro1X board on top of the various reference platforms for their new chips.
- Rockchips support for several newer boards: Indiedroid Nova (rk3588), Edgeble Neural Compute Module 6B (rk3588), FriendlyARM NanoPi R2C Plus (rk3328), Anbernic RG353PS (rk3566), Lunzn Fastrhino R66S/R68S (rk3568)
- TI K3/AM625 based PHYTEC phyBOARD-Lyra-AM625 board and Toradex Verdin family with AM62 COM, carrier and dev boards
Other changes to existing boards contain the usual minor improvements along with
- continued updates to clean up dts files based on dtc warnings and binding checks, in particular cache properties and node names
- support for devicetree overlays on at91, bcm283x
- significant additions to existing SoC support on mediatek, qualcomm, ti k3 family, starfive jh71xx, NXP i.MX6 and i.MX8, ST STM32MP1
As usual, a lot more detail is available in the individual merge commits"

Merge branch 'expand-stack'
This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic" sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack. There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve() we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon, loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc, parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()' manually because they are doing something slightly different from the normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases. Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window and release candidates.

Merge tag 'smp-core-2023-06-26' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull SMP updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A large update for SMP management:
- Parallel CPU bringup
The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the VM tenants.
The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP:
1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads) 2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86) 3) Wait for the AP to report alive state 4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup 5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state
There are two significant delays:
#3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc.
#4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on the microcode patch size to apply.
On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining procedure.
This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism into two parts:
1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which needs to be brought up.
The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above)
2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU (#3 - #5 above) as it's done today.
Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be justified for a pretty small gain.
If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x.
The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.
For now this is only enabled on x86, but the core functionality obviously works for all SMP capable architectures.
- Enhancements for SMP function call tracing so it is possible to locate the scheduling and the actual execution points. That allows to measure IPI delivery time precisely"

Merge tag 'x86-boot-2023-06-26' of ssh://gitolite.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 boot updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Initialize FPU late.
Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before alternatives are patched.
That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function name suggests.
So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes it clear what this is about.
Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to know the FPU register buffer size.
With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile part of the x86 bringup"

ARM: dts: Move .dts files to vendor sub-directories
The arm dts directory has grown to 1559 boards which makes it a bit unwieldy to maintain and use. Past attempts stalled out due to plans to move .dts files out of the kernel tree. Doing that is no longer planned (any time soon at least), so let's go ahead and group .dts files by vendors. This move aligns arm with arm64 .dts file structure.
