commit 0b24cae4d535045f4c9e177aa228d4e97bad212c upstream.
Add a missing EHB (Execution Hazard Barrier) in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.
Without this execution hazard barrier it's possible for the value read
back from the KScratch register to be the value from before the mtc0.
Reproducible on P5600 & P6600.
The hazard is documented in the MIPS Architecture Reference Manual Vol.
III: MIPS32/microMIPS32 Privileged Resource Architecture (MD00088), rev
6.03 table 8.1 which includes:
Producer | Consumer | Hazard
----------|----------|----------------------------
mtc0 | mfc0 | any coprocessor 0 register

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
