MIPS: kernel: Clear FPU states when setting up kernel threads

io_uring sets up the io worker kernel thread via a syscall out of an
user space prrocess. This process might have used FPU and since
copy_thread() didn't clear FPU states for kernel threads a BUG()
is triggered for using FPU inside kernel. Move code around
to always clear FPU state for user and kernel threads.

nmi_backtrace: allow excluding an arbitrary CPU

The APIs that allow backtracing across CPUs have always had a way to
exclude the current CPU. This convenience means callers didn't need to
find a place to allocate a CPU mask just to handle the common case.

Let's extend the API to take a CPU ID to exclude instead of just a
boolean. This isn't any more complex for the API to handle and allows the
hardlockup detector to exclude a different CPU (the one it already did a
trace for) without needing to find space for a CPU mask.

Arguably, this new API also encourages safer behavior. Specifically if
the caller wants to avoid tracing the current CPU (maybe because they
already traced the current CPU) this makes it more obvious to the caller
that they need to make sure that the current CPU ID can't change.

sched/idle: Mark arch_cpu_idle_dead() __noreturn

Before commit 076cbf5d2163 ("x86/xen: don't let xen_pv_play_dead()
return"), in Xen, when a previously offlined CPU was brought back
online, it unexpectedly resumed execution where it left off in the
middle of the idle loop.

There were some hacks to make that work, but the behavior was surprising
as do_idle() doesn't expect an offlined CPU to return from the dead (in
arch_cpu_idle_dead()).

Now that Xen has been fixed, and the arch-specific implementations of
arch_cpu_idle_dead() also don't return, give it a __noreturn attribute.

This will cause the compiler to complain if an arch-specific
implementation might return. It also improves code generation for both
caller and callee.

Also fixes the following warning:

fork: Generalize PF_IO_WORKER handling

Add fn and fn_arg members into struct kernel_clone_args and test for
them in copy_thread (instead of testing for PF_KTHREAD | PF_IO_WORKER).
This allows any task that wants to be a user space task that only runs
in kernel mode to use this functionality.

The code on x86 is an exception and still retains a PF_KTHREAD test
because x86 unlikely everything else handles kthreads slightly
differently than user space tasks that start with a function.

The functions that created tasks that start with a function
have been updated to set ".fn" and ".fn_arg" instead of
".stack" and ".stack_size". These functions are fork_idle(),
create_io_thread(), kernel_thread(), and user_mode_thread().

The kernel task that exec's init and tasks that exec user mode

[2]: Commit 2b424cfc69728 ("MIPS: Remove function size check in

First patch added a constant to check the number of iterations against.
Second patch fixed the situation that info->func_size is zero.

However, func_size member became useless after the second commit. Without
ip_end, the get frame_size operation may be out of range although KALLSYMS
enabled. Thus, check func_size first. Then make ip_end be the sum of ip
and a constant (512) if func_size is equal to 0. Otherwise make ip_end be
the sum of ip and func_size.

smp: Cleanup smp_call_function*()

Get rid of the __call_single_node union and cleanup the API a little
to avoid external code relying on the structure layout as much.

MIPS: Loongson-3: Enable COP2 usage in kernel

Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel
mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions)
overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/
gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel.

Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel,
which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try
to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2,
which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context
switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2
in its THERAD_STATUS probably.

For zboot, we disable gslq/gssq be generated by toolchain.

arch: rename copy_thread_tls() back to copy_thread()

Now that HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS has been removed, rename copy_thread_tls()
back simply copy_thread(). It's a simpler name, and doesn't imply that only
tls is copied here. This finishes an outstanding chunk of internal process
creation work since we've added clone3().

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
