With a blatant copy of some MIPS bits we introduce the crc32 and crc32c
hw accelerated module to LoongArch.
LoongArch has provided these instructions to calculate crc32 and crc32c:
* crc.w.b.w crcc.w.b.w
* crc.w.h.w crcc.w.h.w
* crc.w.w.w crcc.w.w.w
* crc.w.d.w crcc.w.d.w
So we can make use of these instructions to improve the performance of
calculation for crc32(c) checksums.
As can be seen from the following test results, crc32(c) instructions
can improve the performance by 58%.

This feature depends on the kernel being relocatable.
Enable using single kernel image for kdump, and then no longer need to
build two kernels (production kernel and capture kernel share a single
kernel image).
Also enable CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in loongson3_defconfig.

This config allows to compile kernel as PIE and to relocate it at any
virtual address at runtime: this paves the way to KASLR.
Runtime relocation is possible since relocation metadata are embedded
into the kernel.

Introduce Kconfig option ARCH_STRICT_ALIGN to make -mstrict-align be
configurable.
Not all LoongArch cores support h/w unaligned access, we can use the
-mstrict-align build parameter to prevent unaligned accesses.
CPUs with h/w unaligned access support:
Loongson-2K2000/2K3000/3A5000/3C5000/3D5000.
CPUs without h/w unaligned access support:
Loongson-2K500/2K1000.
This option is enabled by default to make the kernel be able to run on
all LoongArch systems. But you can disable it manually if you want to
run kernel only on systems with h/w unaligned access support in order to
optimise for performance.

The compiler has inserted 2 NOPs before the regular function prologue.
T series registers are available and safe because of LoongArch's psABI.
At runtime, we can replace nop with bl to enable ftrace call and replace
bl with nop to disable ftrace call. The bl instruction requires us to
save the original RA value, so it saves RA at t0 here.
Details are:
| Compiled | Disabled | Enabled |
+------------+------------------------+------------------------+
| nop | move t0, ra | move t0, ra |
| nop | nop | bl ftrace_caller |
| func_body | func_body | func_body |
The RA value will be recovered by ftrace_regs_entry, and restored into
RA before returning to the regular function prologue. When a function is
not being traced, the "move t0, ra" is not harmful.
1) ftrace_make_call, ftrace_make_nop (in kernel/ftrace.c)
The two functions turn each recorded call site of filtered functions
into a call to ftrace_caller or nops.
2) ftracce_update_ftrace_func (in kernel/ftrace.c)
turns the nops at ftrace_call into a call to a generic entry for
function tracers.
3) ftrace_caller (in kernel/mcount_dyn.S)
The entry where each _mcount call sites calls to once they are
filtered to be traced.

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:

Fix this up by changing the LoongArch Makefile to use "grep -E" instead.

This patch adds support for kdump. In kdump case the normal kernel will
reserve a region for the crash kernel and jump there on panic.
Arch-specific functions are added to allow for implementing a crash dump
file interface, /proc/vmcore, which can be viewed as a ELF file.
A user-space tool, such as kexec-tools, is responsible for allocating a
separate region for the core's ELF header within the crash kdump kernel
memory and filling it in when executing kexec_load().
Then, its location will be advertised to the crash dump kernel via a
command line argument "elfcorehdr=", and the crash dump kernel will
preserve this region for later use with arch_reserve_vmcore() at boot
time.
At the same time, the crash kdump kernel is also limited within the
"crashkernel" area via a command line argument "mem=", so as not to
destroy the original kernel dump data.
In the crash dump kernel environment, /proc/vmcore is used to access the
primary kernel's memory with copy_oldmem_page().
I tested kdump on LoongArch machines (Loongson-3A5000) and it works as
expected (suggested crashkernel parameter is "crashkernel=512M@2560M"),
you may test it by triggering a crash through /proc/sysrq-trigger:
$ sudo kexec -p /boot/vmlinux-kdump --reuse-cmdline --append="nr_cpus=1"
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

If explicit relocation hints are used by the toolchain, -Wa,-mla-*
options will be useless for the C code. So only use them for the
!CONFIG_AS_HAS_EXPLICIT_RELOCS case.
Replace "la" with "la.pcrel" in head.S to keep the semantic consistent
with new and old toolchains for the low level startup code.
For per-CPU variables, the "address" of the symbol is actually an offset
from $r21. The value is near the loading address of main kernel image,
but far from the loading address of modules. So we use model("extreme")
attibute to tell the compiler that a PC-relative addressing with 32-bit
offset is not sufficient for local per-CPU variables.
The behavior with different assemblers and compilers are summarized in
the following table:
AS has CC has
explicit relocs explicit relocs * Behavior
==============================================================
No No Use la.* macros.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
No Yes Disable explicit relocs.
No change from Linux 6.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes No Not supported.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Yes Yes Enable explicit relocs.
No -Wa,-mla* options used.
==============================================================
*: We assume CC must have model attribute if it has explicit relocs.
Both features are added in GCC 13 development cycle, so any GCC
release >= 13 should be OK. Using early GCC 13 development snapshots
may produce modules with unsupported relocations.

Kbuild puts the objects listed in head-y at the head of vmlinux.
Conventionally, we do this for head*.S, which contains the kernel entry
point.
A counter approach is to control the section order by the linker script.
Actually, the code marked as __HEAD goes into the ".head.text" section,
which is placed before the normal ".text" section.
I do not know if both of them are needed. From the build system
perspective, head-y is not mandatory. If you can achieve the proper code
placement by the linker script only, it would be cleaner.
I collected the current head-y objects into head-object-list.txt. It is
a whitelist. My hope is it will be reduced in the long run.

Wire up the generic EFI zboot support for LoongArch64
Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

This patch adds efistub booting support, which is the standard UEFI boot
protocol for LoongArch to use.
We use generic efistub, which means we can pass boot information (i.e.,
system table, memory map, kernel command line, initrd) via a light FDT
and drop a lot of non-standard code.
We use a flat mapping to map the efi runtime in the kernel's address
space. In efi, VA = PA; in kernel, VA = PA + PAGE_OFFSET. As a result,
flat mapping is not identity mapping, SetVirtualAddressMap() is still
needed for the efi runtime.
