Merge tag 'mips_4.21' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux
Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton:
 "Here's the main MIPS pull for Linux 4.21. Core architecture changes
  include:
   - Syscall tables & definitions for unistd.h are now generated by
     scripts, providing greater consistency with other architectures &
     making it easier to add new syscalls.
   - Support for building kernels with no floating point support, upon
     which any userland attempting to use floating point instructions
     will receive a SIGILL. Mostly useful to shrink the kernel & as
     preparation for nanoMIPS support which does not yet include FP.
   - MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) vector register context is now exposed
     by ptrace via a new NT_MIPS_MSA regset.
   - ASIDs are now stored as 64b values even for MIPS32 kernels,
     expanding the ASID version field sufficiently that we don't need to
     worry about overflow & avoiding rare issues with reused ASIDs that
     have been observed in the wild.
   - The branch delay slot "emulation" page is now mapped without write
     permission for the user, preventing its use as a nice location for
     attacks to execute malicious code from.
   - Support for ioremap_prot(), primarily to allow gdb or other ptrace
     users the ability to view their tracee's memory using the same
     cache coherency attribute.
   - Optimizations to more cpu_has_* macros, allowing more to be
     compile-time constant where possible.
   - Enable building the whole kernel with UBSAN instrumentation.
   - Enable building the kernel with link-time dead code & data
     elimination.
  Platform specific changes include:
   - The Boston board gains a workaround for DMA prefetching issues with
     the EG20T Platform Controller Hub that it uses.
   - Cleanups to Cavium Octeon code removing about 20k lines of
     redundant code, mostly unused or duplicate register definitions in
     headers.
   - defconfig updates for the DECstation machines, including new
     defconfigs for r4k & 64b machines.
   - Further work on Loongson 3 support.
   - DMA fixes for SiByte machines"
