<title>[MIPS] Probe initrd header only if explicitly specified</title>

Currently init_initrd() probes initrd header at the last page of kernel
image, but it is valid only if addinitrd was used.  If addinitrd was not
used, the area contains garbage so probing there might misdetect initrd
header (magic number is not strictly robust).

This patch introduces CONFIG_PROBE_INITRD_HEADER to explicitly enable this
probing.

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes the following sparse warning:

&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

arch/mips/kernel/early_printk.c:35:13: warning: symbol 'setup_early_printk'
was not declared. Should it be static?

&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;

The fix is to define a prototype of the setup_early_printk() function and
to include the appropriate header into arch/mips/kernel/early_printk.c.

[Ralf: Sorted includes again]

 The isa_slot_offset variable and its __ISA_IO_base macro is not used
anywhere anymore.  It does not look like a decent interface per today's
standards either.  Remove both including all places of initialization.

<title>Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()</title>

<content type='text'>
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.

This patch:

Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.

Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

<title>[MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workarounds</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=20d60d9973c3b441902b0a3f4f6f7e7ade08f77d'/>
<id>20d60d9973c3b441902b0a3f4f6f7e7ade08f77d</id>
<content type='text'>
 This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds.  They include 
compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications 
to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift 
instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions.

 Changes included are as follows:

1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary.

2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also 
   incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as 
   horribly intrusive for little gain).

3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem 
   is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in 
   time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might 
   also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it.  On the 
   other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to 
   have been initialised (and is there mainly for information).

4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be 
   queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code 
   like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers.

5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly.

 Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained 
by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered 
are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards).  The -mfix-r4000 
and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though.
