[PATCH 6.1 169/232] MIPS: Work around LLVM bug when gp is used as global register variable

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Yao Zi <me@ziyao.cc>

commit 30bfc2d6a1132a89a5f1c3b96c59cf3e4d076ea3 upstream.

On MIPS, __current_thread_info is defined as global register variable
locating in $gp, and is simply assigned with new address during kernel
relocation.

This however is broken with LLVM, which always restores $gp if it finds
$gp is clobbered in any form, including when intentionally through a
global register variable. This is against GCC's documentation[1], which
requires a callee-saved register used as global register variable not to
be restored if it's clobbered.

As a result, $gp will continue to point to the unrelocated kernel after
the epilog of relocate_kernel(), leading to an early crash in init_idle,

This bug has been reported to LLVM[2] and affects version from (at
least) 18 to 21. Let's work around this by using inline assembly to
assign $gp before a fix is widely available.
