<id>urn:sha1:247e1e7e25c8f9172eed5c5911d2595c3355a9bc</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d62cf1511743526f530a4c169424e50c757f5a5e upstream.

Bring back cache initialisation for Broadcom SiByte SB1 cores, which has
been removed causing the kernel to hang at bootstrap right after:

Dentry cache hash table entries: 524288 (order: 8, 4194304 bytes, linear)
Inode-cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 7, 2097152 bytes, linear)

The cause of the problem is R4k cache handlers are also used by Broadcom
SiByte SB1 cores, however with a different cache error exception handler
and therefore not using CPU_R4K_CACHE_TLB:

obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_R4K_CACHE_TLB) += c-r4k.o cex-gen.o tlb-r4k.o
obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_SB1)           += c-r4k.o cerr-sb1.o cex-sb1.o tlb-r4k.o

(from arch/mips/mm/Makefile).

<title>mips: mm: convert __flush_dcache_pages() to __flush_dcache_folio_pages()</title>

<content type='text'>
Let's make it clearer that we are operating within a single folio by
providing both the folio and the page.

This implies that for flush_dcache_folio() we'll now avoid one more
page-&gt;folio lookup, and that we can safely drop the "nth_page" usage.

While at it, drop the "extern" from the function declaration.

All callers are now converted, delete this compatibility wrapper.  Also
fix up some comments which referred to page_mapping.

<id>urn:sha1:bbe4f634f48cd832aa43e7f5a4edc7494ef7ff5f</id>
<content type='text'>
My earlier patch removed __weak function declarations that used to be
turned into wild branches by the linker, instead causing a link failure
when the called functions are unavailable:

mips-linux-ld: arch/mips/mm/cache.o: in function `cpu_cache_init':
cache.c:(.text+0x670): undefined reference to `r3k_cache_init'

The __weak method seems suboptimal, so rather than putting that back, make
the function calls conditional on the Kconfig symbol that controls the
compilation.

Some of the cache functions are declared only for their callers, e.g.

arch/mips/mm/c-r3k.c:28:15: error: no previous prototype for 'r3k_cache_size' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/mm/c-r3k.c:63:15: error: no previous prototype for 'r3k_cache_lsize' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

arch/mips/mm/sc-mips.c:255:5: error: no previous prototype for 'mips_sc_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Move all the declarations to asm/cache.h and asm/r4kcache.h where they
can be seen by the function definitions.

<title>mips: use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation</title>

__flush_dcache_pages() is called during hugetlb migration via
migrate_pages() -&gt; migrate_hugetlbs() -&gt; unmap_and_move_huge_page() -&gt;
move_to_new_folio() -&gt; flush_dcache_folio().  And with hugetlb and without
sparsemem vmemmap, struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous beyond a
section.  Use nth_page() instead.

Without the fix, a wrong address might be used for data cache page flush.
No bug is reported. The fix comes from code inspection.

Rename _PFN_SHIFT to PFN_PTE_SHIFT.  Convert a few places
to call set_pte() instead of set_pte_at().  Add set_ptes(),
update_mmu_cache_range(), flush_icache_pages() and flush_dcache_folio().
Change the PG_arch_1 (aka PG_dcache_dirty) flag from being per-page
to per-folio.

bcache is not tied to CPU's cache interface. Just move those
declaration to cache.c so it can be avaialble to CPU with all
cache types.

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports
standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT,
which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array.  Subsequently
all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.
