<content type='text'>
On systems where physical memory begins at a non-zero address, defining
PHYS_OFFSET (which influences ARCH_PFN_OFFSET) can save us time &amp; memory
by avoiding book-keeping for pages from address zero to the start of
memory.

Some MIPS platforms already make use of this, but with the definition of
PHYS_OFFSET being compile-time constant it hasn't been possible to
enable this optimization for a kernel which may run on systems with
varying physical memory base addresses.

Introduce a new Kconfig option CONFIG_MIPS_AUTO_PFN_OFFSET which, when
enabled, makes ARCH_PFN_OFFSET a variable &amp; detects it from the boot
memory map (which for example may have been populated from DT). The
relationship with PHYS_OFFSET is reversed, with PHYS_OFFSET now being
based on ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. This is because ARCH_PFN_OFFSET is used far
more often, so avoiding the need for runtime calculation gives us a
smaller impact on kernel text size (0.1% rather than 0.15% for
64r6el_defconfig).

<content type='text'>
phys_to_dma, dma_to_phys and dma_capable are helpers published by
architecture code for use of swiotlb and xen-swiotlb only.  Drivers are
not supposed to use these directly, but use the DMA API instead.

Move these to a new asm/dma-direct.h helper, included by a
linux/dma-direct.h wrapper that provides the default linear mapping
unless the architecture wants to override it.

In the MIPS case the existing dma-coherent.h is reused for now as
untangling it will take a bit of work.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<title>MIPS: generic: Set RTC_ALWAYS_BCD to 0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ae7ce6b1e0a98132e2ecb2f64ebaa8c535b6b9f5</id>
<content type='text'>
Drivers for the mc146818 RTC generally check control registers to
determine whether a value is encoded as binary or as a binary coded
decimal. Setting RTC_ALWAYS_BCD to 1 effectively bypasses these checks
and causes drivers to always expect binary coded decimal values,
regardless of control register values.

This does not seem like a sane default - defaulting to 0 allows the
drivers to check control registers to determine encoding type &amp; allows
the driver to work generically with both binary &amp; BCD encodings. Set
this in mach-generic/mc146818rtc.h such that the generic kernel, or
platforms which don't provide a custom mc146818rtc.h, can have an RTC
driver which works with both encodings.

<title>MIPS: Adjust MIPS64 CAC_BASE to reflect Config.K0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:3ffc17d8768be705e292ac4c2e3ab1f18dc06047</id>
<content type='text'>
On MIPS64 we define the default CAC_BASE as one of the xkphys regions of
the virtual address space. Since the CCA is encoded in bits 61:59 of
xkphys addresses, fixing CAC_BASE to any particular one prevents us from
dynamically changing the CCA as we do for MIPS32 where CAC_BASE is
placed within kseg0. In order to make the kernel more generic, drop the
current kludge that gives CAC_BASE CCA=3 if CONFIG_DMA_NONCOHERENT is
selected (disregarding CONFIG_DMA_MAYBE_COHERENT) &amp; CCA=5 (which is not
standardised by the architecture) otherwise. Instead read Config.K0 and
generate the appropriate offset into xkphys, presuming that either the
bootloader or early kernel code will have configured Config.K0
appropriately. This seems like the best option for a generic
implementation.

The ip27 spaces.h is adjusted to set its former value of CAC_BASE, since
it's the only user of CAC_BASE from assembly (in its smp_slave_setup
macro). This allows the generic case to focus solely on C code without
breaking ip27.

<id>urn:sha1:20d330645cfb8cfecfb82b369e4d3084e429e68a</id>
<content type='text'>
On some MIPS systems, a subset of devices may have DMA coherent with CPU
caches. For example in systems including a MIPS I/O Coherence Unit
(IOCU), some devices may be connected to that IOCU whilst others are
not.

Prior to this patch, we have a plat_device_is_coherent() function but no
implementation which does anything besides return a global true or
false, optionally chosen at runtime. For devices such as those described
above this is insufficient.

Fix this by tracking DMA coherence on a per-device basis with a
dma_coherent field in struct dev_archdata. Setting this from
arch_setup_dma_ops() takes care of devices which set the dma-coherent
property via device tree, and any PCI devices beneath a bridge described
in DT, automatically.

<content type='text'>
The coherentio variable has previously been used as a boolean value,
indicating whether the user specified that coherent I/O should be
enabled or disabled. It failed to take into account the case where the
user does not specify any preference, in which case it makes sense that
we should default to coherent I/O if the hardware supports it
(hw_coherentio is non-zero).

Introduce an enum to clarify the 3 different values of coherentio &amp; use
it throughout the code, modifying plat_device_is_coherent() &amp;
r4k_cache_init() to take into account the default case.
