MIPS: CDMM: Add builtin_mips_cdmm_driver() macro

2015-12-09T19:31:09+00:00

commit 1b4a5ddb127caf125e14551ebd334be1acf21805 upstream.

Add helper macro builtin_mips_cdmm_driver() for builtin CDMM drivers
that don't do anything special in init and have no exit. The
module_mips_cdmm_driver() helper isn't really appropriate for drivers
that can't be built as a module.

MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.

2015-08-05T09:11:10+00:00

On MIPS the GLOBAL bit of the PTE must have the same value in any
aligned pair of PTEs.  These pairs of PTEs are referred to as
"buddies".  In a SMP system is is possible for two CPUs to be calling
set_pte() on adjacent PTEs at the same time.  There is a race between
setting the PTE and a different CPU setting the GLOBAL bit in its
buddy PTE.

This race can be observed when multiple CPUs are executing
vmap()/vfree() at the same time.

Make setting the buddy PTE's GLOBAL bit an atomic operation to close
the race condition.

The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR && CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
handled.

MIPS: Flush RPS on kernel entry with EVA

2015-08-03T08:29:11+00:00

When EVA is enabled, flush the Return Prediction Stack (RPS) present on
some MIPS cores on entry to the kernel from user mode.

This is important specifically for interAptiv with EVA enabled,
otherwise kernel mode RPS mispredicts may trigger speculative fetches of
user return addresses, which may be sensitive in the kernel address
space due to EVA's overlapping user/kernel address spaces.

Revert "MIPS: BCM63xx: Provide a plat_post_dma_flush hook"

2015-08-03T08:19:22+00:00

This reverts commit 3cf29543413207d3ab1c3f62a88c09bb46f2264e ("MIPS:
BCM63xx: Provide a plat_post_dma_flush hook") since this commit was
found to prevent BCM6358 (early BMIPS4350 cores) and some BCM6368
(BMIPS4380 cores) from booting reliably.

Alvaro was able to track this down to an issue specifically located to
devices that use the second thread (TP1) when booting. Since BCM63xx did
not have a need for plat_post_dma_flush() hook before, let's just keep
things the way they were.

MIPS: SMP: Don't increment irq_count multiple times for call function IPIs

2015-08-03T07:25:12+00:00

The majority of SMP platforms handle their IPIs through do_IRQ()
which calls irq_{enter/exit}(). When a call function IPI is received,
smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls
irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice.

When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call
function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core
receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing
IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is
greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a
core which receives its ticks via broadcast.

This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which
calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through
do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to
avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't
(loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt()
wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2015-07-19T21:12:22+00:00

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "Another round of MIPS fixes for 4.2.

  Things are looking quite decent at this stage but the recent work on
  the FPU support took its toll:

   - fix an incorrect overly restrictive ifdef

   - select O32 64-bit FP support for O32 binary compatibility

   - remove workarounds for Sibyte SB1250 Pass1 parts.  There are rare
     fixing the workarounds is not worth the effort.

   - patch up an outdated and now incorrect comment"

MIPS: fpu.h: Allow 64-bit FPU on a 64-bit MIPS R6 CPU

2015-07-19T09:31:24+00:00

Commit 6134d94923d0 ("MIPS: asm: fpu: Allow 64-bit FPU on MIPS32 R6")
added support for 64-bit FPU on a 32-bit MIPS R6 processor but it missed
the 64-bit CPU case leading to FPU failures when requesting FR=1 mode
(which is always the case for MIPS R6 userland) when running a 32-bit
kernel on a 64-bit CPU. We also fix the MIPS R2 case.

mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.

MIPS: SB1: Remove support for Pass 1 parts.

2015-07-14T19:47:34+00:00

Pass 1 parts had a number of significant erratas and were only available
in small numbers and under NDA.  Full support also required the use of a
special toolchain that kept branches properly aligned.  These workarounds
were never upstreamed and the only toolchain known to have them is
Montavista's GCC 3.0-based toolchain which completly obsoleted if not
useless these days.

So now that automated testing has tripped over the user of the
-msb1-pass1-workarounds option, rather than fixing it remove support for
pass 1 parts.

Probably nobody will notice.  I seem to own the last know pass 1 board
and I haven't noticed another one in the wild in the past decade, at
least.
