mips: select CONFIG_WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC from CONFIG_EYEQ

On I6500 CPU cores, lld and scd give no ordering guarantees (same as all
other instructions). To respect the assumption that arch_cmpxchg() is
fully ordered, we must inject sync instructions above and below our
lld/scd loops using the already in place WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC
infrastructure.

Otherwise, bad things can happen:

reproducer would be an lld/scd loop that, when the read is reordered by
the CPU, triggers a fault. We can achieve this from userspace by
stressing an anonymous pipe, which uses a mutex. Program used:

mips: econet: fix unmet dependencies for ECONET

ECONET selects EARLY_PRINTK_8250, SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM, and SERIAL_8250
without ensuring their dependencies, EARLY_PRINTK and TTY are met. This
causes unmet dependencies:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SERIAL_8250

Selected by [y]:

However, in the discussion of v1 of this patch, Arnd pointed out that these
selects don't belong here in the first place. [1]
Let's remove them to resolve the unmet dependencies.

These unmet dependencies were found by kconfirm, a static analysis tool for
Kconfig.

'select' does not work on config options in a 'choice', so the current

mips: select legacy gpiolib interfaces where used

A few old machines have not been converted away from the old-style
gpiolib interfaces. Make these select the new CONFIG_GPIOLIB_LEGACY
symbol so the code still works where it is needed but can be left
out otherwise.

This is the list of all gpio_request() calls in mips:

arch/mips/alchemy/devboards/db1000.c: gpio_request(19, "sd0_cd");
arch/mips/alchemy/devboards/db1000.c: gpio_request(20, "sd1_cd");
arch/mips/alchemy/devboards/db1200.c: gpio_request(215, "otg-vbus");
arch/mips/bcm47xx/workarounds.c: err = gpio_request_one(usb_power, GPIOF_OUT_INIT_HIGH, "usb_power");
arch/mips/bcm63xx/boards/board_bcm963xx.c: gpio_request_one(board.ephy_reset_gpio,
arch/mips/txx9/rbtx4927/setup.c: gpio_request(15, "sio-dtr");

Most of these should be easy enough to change to modern gpio descriptors
or remove if they are no longer in use.

This configuration option exists so "that we don't provide the symbol

However it only covers __vdso_gettimeofday() and none of the other vDSO
functions which should be affected by the same circumstances.slightly slightly.

MIPS: mobileye: Remove duplicate FIT_IMAGE_FDT_EPM5 from main Kconfig

kconfiglint reports:

K008: config FIT_IMAGE_FDT_EPM5 has prompts in 2 separate definitions

The FIT_IMAGE_FDT_EPM5 Kconfig symbol is defined identically in two places:

arch/mips/Kconfig:1052
arch/mips/mobileye/Kconfig:17

Both have the same prompt, depends, default, and help text. Since
arch/mips/mobileye/Kconfig is sourced from arch/mips/Kconfig, both
definitions are parsed and the symbol ends up with two prompts.

The symbol was first introduced in commit 101bd58fde10 ("MIPS: Add
support for Mobileye EyeQ5") directly in
arch/mips/Kconfig. Three months later, commit fbe0fae601b7 ("MIPS:
mobileye: Add EyeQ6H support") created the
arch/mips/mobileye/Kconfig sub-file to organize the growing Mobileye
platform code and added the MACH_EYEQ5/MACH_EYEQ6H choice along with
a copy of FIT_IMAGE_FDT_EPM5. However, the original definition in
arch/mips/Kconfig was not removed at that time, leaving a duplicate.

Remove the definition from arch/mips/Kconfig, keeping the one in
arch/mips/mobileye/Kconfig where it belongs alongside the related
MACH_EYEQ5 machine type definition that it depends on.

MIPS: Implement ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK

The generic CC_CAN_LINK detection does not handle different byte orders
or ABIs. This may lead to userprogs which are not actually runnable on
the target kernel.

MIPS: Implement ARCH_HAS_CC_CAN_LINK

The generic CC_CAN_LINK detection does not handle different byte orders
or ABIs. This may lead to userprogs which are not actually runnable on
the target kernel.

Use architecture-specific logic supporting byte orders instead.

Modern 64-bit toolchains default to a n32 libc, which are not
supported by all kernel configurations, as MIPS32_N32 is optional.
On 64-bit, test for a n32 ABI libc first and fall back to o64 and
o32 if necessary.

On a 64-bit system, madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) may cause a large number of
empty PTE page table pages (such as 100GB+). To resolve this problem,
first enable MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE to prepare for enabling the
PT_RECLAIM feature, which resolves this problem.

MIPS: Fix HOTPLUG_PARALLEL dependency

With MIPS, it is possible to have SMP enabled without HOTPLUG_CPU
selected. However, in kernel/cpu.c, some code that uses
HOTPLUG_PARALLEL also requires HOTPLUG_CPU to be selected. Therefore,
we should fix the HOTPLUG_PARALLEL dependency to depend on
HOTPLUG_CPU, not just SMP.

Pull Kbuild updates from Nathan Chancellor:

- Extend modules.builtin.modinfo to include module aliases from
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for builtin modules so that userspace tools (such
as kmod) can verify that a particular module alias will be handled by
a builtin module

- Bump the minimum version of LLVM for building the kernel to 15.0.0

- Upgrade several userspace API checks in headers_check.pl to errors

- Unify and consolidate CONFIG_WERROR / W=e handling

- Turn assembler and linker warnings into errors with CONFIG_WERROR /
W=e

- Respect CONFIG_WERROR / W=e when building userspace programs
(userprogs)

- Enable -Werror unconditionally when building host programs
(hostprogs)

- Support copy_file_range() and data segment alignment in gen_init_cpio
to improve performance on filesystems that support reflinks such as
btrfs and XFS

- Miscellaneous small changes to scripts and configuration files
