(report at the offending commit) -- where a pointer is dereferenced that
has been derived from a null pointer to the port's parent device.

Since no device is available with legacy probing and it's not anymore a
preferable way to discover devices anyway, switch the driver to using a
platform device and use it as the port's parent device.  Update resource
handling accordingly and only request the actual span of addresses used
within the slot, which will have had its resource already requested by
generic platform device code.

Use platform_driver_probe() not just because SCC devices are fixed with
solder on board and not straightforward to remove, but foremost because
the associated TTY's major device number is the same as used by the dz
driver and the first driver to claim it will prevent the other one from
using it.  Either one DZ device or some SCC devices will be present in a
given system but never both at a time, and therefore we want the major
device number to be claimed by the first driver to actually successfully
bind to its device and platform_driver_probe() is a way to fulfil that.

An unfortunate consequence of the switch to a platform device is we now
hand the console over from the bootconsole much later in the bootstrap.
The firmware console handler appears good enough though to work so late
and in particular with interrupts enabled.

Since there is one way only remaining to reach zs_reset() now, remove
the port initialisation marker as no longer needed and go through the
channel reset unconditionally.

Conversely only starting the console port so late lets the reset code
fully utilise our delay handlers, so switch from udelay() to fsleep()
for transmitter draining so as to avoid busy-waiting for an excessive
amount of time.

MIPS: DEC: Rate-limit memory errors for non-KN01 parity systems

2026-04-06T12:02:24+00:00

Similarly to memory errors in ECC systems also rate-limit memory parity
errors for KN02-BA, KN02-CA, KN04-BA, KN04-CA DECstation and DECsystem
models.  Unlike with ECC these events are always fatal and are less
likely to cause a message flood, but handle them the same way for
consistency.

MIPS: DEC: Rate-limit memory errors for ECC systems

2026-04-06T12:02:14+00:00

Prevent the system from becoming unusable due to a flood of memory error
messages with DECstation and DECsystem models using ECC, that is KN02,
KN03 and KN05 systems.  It seems common for gradual oxidation of memory
module contacts to cause memory errors to eventually develop and while
ECC takes care of correcting them and the system affected can continue
operating normally until the contacts have been cleaned, the unlimited
messages make the system spend all its time on producing them, therefore
preventing it from being used.

Rate-limiting removes the load from the system and enables its normal
operation, e.g.:

Bus error interrupt: CPU memory read ECC error at 0x139cfb04
  ECC syndrome 0x54 -- corrected single bit error at data bit D3
Bus error interrupt: CPU partial memory write ECC error at 0x138c1f5c

genirq: Convert kstat_irqs to a struct

2024-04-12T15:08:05+00:00

The irq_desc::kstat_irqs member is a per-CPU variable of type int, which is
only capable of counting. A snapshot mechanism for interrupt statistics
will be added soon, which requires an additional variable to store the
snapshot.

To facilitate expansion, convert kstat_irqs here to a struct containing
only the count.

DEC: Limit PMAX memory probing to R3k systems

2022-03-07T12:10:44+00:00

Recent tightening of the opcode table in binutils so as to consistently
disallow the assembly or disassembly of CP0 instructions not supported
by the processor architecture chosen has caused a regression like below:

arch/mips/dec/prom/locore.S: Assembler messages:
arch/mips/dec/prom/locore.S:29: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: r4600 (mips3) `rfe'

in a piece of code used to probe for memory with PMAX DECstation models,
which have non-REX firmware.  Those computers always have an R2000 CPU
and consequently the exception handler used in memory probing uses the
RFE instruction, which those processors use.

While adding 64-bit support this code was correctly excluded for 64-bit
configurations, however it should have also been excluded for irrelevant
32-bit configurations.  Do this now then, and only enable PMAX memory
probing for R3k systems.
