Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
"This is dominated by a large number of changes necessary for the MIPS
BPF code. code. Aside of that there are
- a fix for the MSC system controller support code.
- a Turbochannel fix.
- a recordmcount fix that's MIPS-specific.
- barrier fixes to smp-cps / pm-cps after unrelated changes elsewhere
in the kernel.
- revert support for MSA registers in the signal frames. The
reverted patch did modify the signal stack frame which of course is
inacceptable.
- fix math-emu build breakage with older compilers.
- some related cleanup.
- fix Lasat build error if CONFIG_CRC32 isn't set to y by the user"

On MIPS calls to _mcount in modules generate 2 instructions to load
the _mcount address (and therefore 2 relocations). The mcount_loc
table should only reference the first of these, so the second is
filtered out by checking the relocation offset and ignoring ones that
immediately follow the previous one seen.
However if a module has an _mcount call at offset 0, the second
relocation would not be filtered out due to old_r_offset == 0
being taken to mean that the current relocation is the first one
seen, and both would end up in the mcount_loc table.
This results in ftrace_make_nop() patching both (adjacent)
instructions to branches over the _mcount call sequence like so:
0xffffffffc08a8000: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8014
0xffffffffc08a8004: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8018
0xffffffffc08a8008: 2d 08 e0 03 move at,ra
...
The second branch is in the delay slot of the first, which is
defined to be unpredictable - on the platform on which this bug was
encountered, it triggers a reserved instruction exception.
Fix by initializing old_r_offset to ~0 and using that instead of 0
to determine whether the current relocation is the first seen.

Commit 7e1c0477 (kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)) assumes that
the build process does not change its working directory. make tar-pkg
was a couterexample, fix this by changing directory only for the tar
command and not for the whole script, which at one point references the
now relative $(objtree).

Right now when people try to report issues in the kernel they send stack
dumps to eachother, which looks something like this:
[ 6.906437] [<ffffffff811f0e90>] ? backtrace_test_irq_callback+0x20/0x20
[ 6.907121] [<ffffffff84388ce8>] dump_stack+0x52/0x7f
[ 6.907640] [<ffffffff811f0ec8>] backtrace_regression_test+0x38/0x110
[ 6.908281] [<ffffffff813596a0>] ? proc_create_data+0xa0/0xd0
[ 6.908870] [<ffffffff870a8040>] ? proc_modules_init+0x22/0x22
[ 6.909480] [<ffffffff810020c2>] do_one_initcall+0xc2/0x1e0
[...]
However, most of the text you get is pure garbage.
The only useful thing above is the function name. Due to the amount of
different kernel code versions and various configurations being used,
the kernel address and the offset into the function are not really
helpful in determining where the problem actually occured.
Too often the result of someone looking at a stack dump is asking the
person who sent it for a translation for one or more 'addr2line'
translations. Which slows down the entire process of debugging the
issue (and really annoying).
The decode_stacktrace script is an attempt to make the output more
useful and easy to work with by translating all kernel addresses in the
stack dump into line numbers. Which means that the stack dump would
look like this:
[ 635.148361] dump_stack (lib/dump_stack.c:52)
[ 635.149127] warn_slowpath_common (kernel/panic.c:418)
[ 635.150214] warn_slowpath_null (kernel/panic.c:453)
[ 635.151031] _oalloc_pages_slowpath+0x6a/0x7d0
[ 635.152171] ? zone_watermark_ok (mm/page_alloc.c:1728)
[ 635.152988] ? get_page_from_freelist (mm/page_alloc.c:1939)
[ 635.154766] __alloc_pages_nodemask (mm/page_alloc.c:2766)
It's pretty obvious why this is better than the previous stack dump
before.
Usage is pretty simple:
./decode_stacktrace.sh [vmlinux] [base path]
Where vmlinux is the vmlinux to extract line numbers from and base path
is the path that points to the root of the build tree, for example:
./decode_stacktrace.sh vmlinux /home/sasha/linux/ < input.log > output.log
The stack trace should be piped through it (I, for example, just pipe
the output of the serial console of my KVM test box through it).

Prior to this commit, the command "scripts/objdiff record path/to/*.o"
disassembled the given object into ".tmp_objdiff/path/to/*.o" file.
The problem here is that recorded disassemblies are lost if we run
"make clean" because it removes all the *.o files.
Disassembled code should be dumped into *.dis instead of *.o files.

Prior to this commit, scripts/objdiff expected to be run at the top
directory and only the relative path of objects.
This commit provides more flexibility in terms of object path:
[1] scripts/objdiff can be run in any directory
For example,
$ scripts/objdiff record init/main.o
and
$ cd init; ../scripts/objdiff record main.o
produce the same result.
[2] Support absolute path for objects
$ scripts/objdiff record /home/foo/bar/linux/init/main.o
work as well.

This commit is a minor refactoring.
Temporary files for objdiff are stored in .tmp_objdiff directory
which is located at the top directory.
To get the path to this directory,
SRCTREE=`git rev-parse --show-toplevel`
TMPD=$SRCTREE/.tmp_objdiff
seems easier to understand than
GIT_DIR=`git rev-parse --git-dir`
TMPD=${GIT_DIR%git}tmp_objdiff
Besides, it is not always necessary to create .tmp_objdiff dicrectory.
It should be created only for "record" command.

The Debian s390x architecture has 64-bit userland whereas s390 has
32-bit userland. A 64-bit kernel can be used with either. Now that
Debian supports multiarch and officially supports s390x, it makes more
sense to assign a 64-bit kernel package to s390x.
