arch: mips: fix unmet dependency for DEBUG_INFO

When SB1XXX_CORELIS is enabled, COMPILE_TEST is disabled,
and DEBUG_KERNEL is disabled, Kbuild gives the
following warning:

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for DEBUG_INFO

Selected by [y]:

This is because SB1XXX_CORELIS selects DEBUG_INFO without
selecting or depending on DEBUG_KERNEL, despite DEBUG_INFO

MIPS: Fix CPS SMP NS16550 UART defaults

The MIPS_CPS_NS16550_BASE and MIPS_CPS_NS16550_SHIFT options have no
defaults for non-Malta platforms which select SYS_SUPPORTS_MIPS_CPS
(i.e. the pistachio and generic platforms). This is problematic for
automated allyesconfig and allmodconfig builds based on these platforms,
since make silentoldconfig tries to ask the user for values, and
especially since v4.15 where the default platform was switched to
generic.

Default these options to 0 and arrange for MIPS_CPS_NS16550 to be no
when using that default base address, so that the option only has an
effect when the default is provided (i.e. Malta) or when a value is
provided by the user.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

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 & 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 >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <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.

MIPS: Remove compact branch policy Kconfig entries

Commit c1a0e9bc885d ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changed")
added Kconfig entries allowing for the compact branch policy used by the
compiler for MIPSr6 kernels to be specified. This can be useful for
debugging, particularly in systems where compact branches have recently
been introduced.

Unfortunately mainline gcc 5.x supports MIPSr6 but not the
-mcompact-branches compiler flag, leading to MIPSr6 kernels failing to
build with gcc 5.x with errors such as:

mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mcompact-branches=optimal'
make[2]: *** [kernel/bounds.s] Error 1

Fixing this by hiding the Kconfig entry behind another seems to be more
hassle than it's worth, as MIPSr6 & compact branches have been around
for a while now and if policy does need to be set for debug it can be
done easily enough with KCFLAGS. Therefore remove the compact branch
policy Kconfig entries & their handling in the Makefile.

This reverts commit c1a0e9bc885d ("MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to
be changed").

MIPS: kernel: elf: Improve the overall ABI and FPU mode checks

The previous implementation did not cover all possible FPU combinations
and it silently allowed ABI incompatible objects to be loaded with the
wrong ABI. For example, the previous logic would set the FP_64 ABI as
the matching ABI for an FP_XX object combined with an FP_64A object.
This was wrong, and the matching ABI should have been FP_64A.
The previous logic is now replaced with a new one which determines
the appropriate FPU mode to be used rather than the FP ABI. This has
the advantage that the entire logic is much simpler since it is the FPU
mode we are interested in rather than the FP ABI resulting to code
simplifications. This also removes the now obsolete FP32XX_HYBRID_FPRS
option.

MIPS: Kconfig option to better exercise/debug hybrid FPRs

The hybrid FPR scheme exists to allow for compatibility between existing
FP32 code and newly compiled FP64A code. Such code should hopefully be
rare in the real world, and for the moment is difficult to come across.
All code except that built for the FP64 ABI can correctly execute using
the hybrid FPR scheme, so debugging the hybrid FPR implementation can
be eased by forcing all such code to use it. This is undesirable in
general due to the trap & emulate overhead of the hybrid FPR
implementation, but is a very useful option to have for debugging.

consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options

Original posting:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com

Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.

This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command line

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.

This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.

[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]

MIPS: Kconfig: Fix the arch-specific header path

The header path in the help text for the RUNTIME_DEBUG config option is
obsolete and needs to be updated to match the new location of
architecture-specific header files. While at it, fix the spelling mistake.

[MIPS] kgdb: Remove existing implementation

This patch explicitly removes the kgdb implementation, for mips which
is intended to be followed by a patch that adds a kgdb implementation
for MIPS that makes use of the kgdb core in the kernel.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
