As loongson64 needs at least page size 16KB to get rid of cache alias,

rounding "size" up to PAGE_SIZE is enough for all page size supported.

Commit 6654111c893f ("MIPS: vmlinux.lds.S: align raw appended dtb to 8
bytes") changed the alignment from STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes to 8 bytes.
The commit's message makes it sound like it was actually done on
purpose, but this is not the case. The commit was written when raw
appended dtb were not aligned at all. The STRUCT_ALIGN() was added a few
days before, in commit 7a05293af39f ("MIPS: boot/compressed: Copy DTB to
aligned address"). The true purpose of the commit was not to align
specifically to 8 bytes, but to make sure that the generated vmlinux'
size was properly padded to the alignment required for DTBs.
While the switch to 8-byte alignment worked for vmlinux-appended dtb
blobs, it broke vmlinuz-appended dtb blobs, as the decompress routine
moves the blob to a STRUCT_ALIGNMENT aligned address.
Fix this by changing the raw appended dtb blob alignment from 8 bytes
back to STRUCT_ALIGNMENT bytes in vmlinux.lds.S.

in the MT7620 Programming Guide. The correct bit to check for PLL lock
is PPLL_LD (bit 23).

bpftrace is a high-level tracing language for Linux enhanced Berkeley
Packet Filter (eBPF) available in recent Linux kernels (4.x). bpftrace
uses LLVM as a backend to compile scripts to BPF-bytecode and makes use
of BCC for interacting with the Linux BPF system, as well as existing
Linux tracing capabilities: kernel dynamic tracing (kprobes), user-level
dynamic tracing (uprobes), and tracepoints.
According to Linux Kernel Requirements in bpftrace/INSTALL.md [1], the
kernel needs to be built with the following options:
CONFIG_BPF=y
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL=y
CONFIG_BPF_JIT=y
CONFIG_HAVE_EBPF_JIT=y
CONFIG_BPF_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS=y
CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y
CONFIG_HAVE_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_KPROBES=y
CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_UPROBES=y
CONFIG_UPROBES=y
CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
So enable some missed configs in loongson3_defconfig to make sure
the above configs are set after make loongson3_defconfig.

The offset parameters are unneeded here; __SYSCALL(nr, entry) is defined
as 'PTR entry', so the parameter 'nr' is not used in the first place.
With this commit, syscall tables and generated files are straight
mapped, which makes things easier to understand.
syscall_n32.tbl --> syscall_table_n32.h
syscall_n64.tbl --> syscall_table_n64.h

BMIPS is one of the few platforms that do change the exception base.
After commit 2dcb39645441 ("memblock: do not start bottom-up allocations
with kernel_end") we started seeing BMIPS boards fail to boot with the
built-in FDT being corrupted.
Before the cited commit, early allocations would be in the [kernel_end,
RAM_END] range, but after commit they would be within [RAM_START +
PAGE_SIZE, RAM_END].
The custom exception base handler that is installed by
bmips_ebase_setup() done for BMIPS5000 CPUs ends-up trampling on the
memory region allocated by unflatten_and_copy_device_tree() thus
corrupting the FDT used by the kernel.
To fix this, we need to perform an early reservation of the custom
exception space. Additional we reserve the first 4k (1k for R3k) for
either normal exception vector space (legacy CPUs) or special vectors
like cache exceptions.
Huge thanks to Serge for analysing and proposing a solution to this
issue.

The devicetree specification requires 8-byte alignment in
memory. This is now enforced by libfdt since commit 79edff12060f
("scripts/dtc: Update to upstream version v1.6.0-51-g183df9e9c2b9")
which included the upstream commit 5e735860c478 ("libfdt: Check for
8-byte address alignment in fdt_ro_probe_()").
This broke the MIPS raw appended DTBs which would be appended to
the image immediately following the initramfs section. This ends
with a 32bit size, resulting in a 4-byte alignment of the DTB.
Fix by padding with zeroes to 8-bytes when MIPS_RAW_APPENDED_DTB
is defined.
