MIPS: Implement __multi3 for GCC7 MIPS64r6 builds GCC7 is a bit too eager to generate suboptimal __multi3 calls (128bit multiply with 128bit result) for MIPS64r6 builds, even in code which doesn't explicitly use 128bit types, such as the following: unsigned long func(unsigned long a, unsigned long b) { return a > (~0UL) / b; } Which GCC rearanges to: return (unsigned __int128)a * (unsigned __int128)b > 0xffffffffffffffff; Therefore implement __multi3, but only for MIPS64r6 with GCC7 as under normal circumstances we wouldn't expect any calls to __multi3 to be generated from kernel code.

MIPS: Fix the GCC version check for `__multi3' workaround It was only GCC 10 that fixed a MIPS64r6 code generation issue with a `__multi3' libcall inefficiently produced to perform 64-bit widening multiplication while suitable machine instructions exist to do such a calculation. The fix went in with GCC commit 48b2123f6336 ("re PR target/82981 (unnecessary __multi3 call for mips64r6 linux kernel)"). Adjust our code accordingly, removing build failures such as: mips64-linux-ld: lib/math/div64.o: in function `mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64': div64.c:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `__multi3' with the GCC versions affected.

MIPS: lib: Provide MIPS64r6 __multi3() for GCC < 7 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.
