4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxx>
commit 690d9163bf4b8563a2682e619f938e6a0443947f upstream.
Some versions of GCC suboptimally generate calls to the __multi3()
intrinsic for MIPS64r6 builds, resulting in link failures due to the
missing function:
LD vmlinux.o
MODPOST vmlinux.o
kernel/bpf/verifier.o: In function `kmalloc_array':
include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3'
fs/select.o: In function `kmalloc_array':
include/linux/slab.h:631: undefined reference to `__multi3'
...
We already have a workaround for this in which we provide the
instrinsic, but we do so selectively for GCC 7 only. Unfortunately the
issue occurs with older GCC versions too - it has been observed with
both GCC 5.4.0 & GCC 6.4.0.
MIPSr6 support was introduced in GCC 5, so all major GCC versions prior
to GCC 8 are affected and we extend our workaround accordingly to all
MIPS64r6 builds using GCC versions older than GCC 8.
