commit 46011e6ea39235e4aca656673c500eac81a07a17 upstream.

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 &amp;&amp; CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not*
handled.

commit 3f0116c3238a96bc18ad4b4acefe4e7be32fa861 upstream.

Fengguang Wu, Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra tracked down
a kernel crash to a GCC bug: GCC miscompiles certain 'asm goto'
constructs, as outlined here:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58670

Implement a workaround suggested by Jakub Jelinek.

Upstream commit 8b9232141bf40788cce31f893c13f344ec31ee66.

This fixes:

  MODPOST 393 modules
ERROR: "min_low_pfn" [arch/mips/kvm/kvm.ko] undefined!
make[3]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

It would have been possible to just export min_low_pfn but in the end
pfn_valid should return 1 for any pfn argument for which a struct page
exists so using min_low_pfn was wrong anyway.

[Backport to 3.4 kernel. Applies cleanly on top of current 3.4 patch queue,
and fixes "make ARCH=mips allmodconfig; make ARCH=mips" build problem. - Guenter]

<title>MIPS: Expose missing pci_io{map,unmap} declarations</title>

commit 78857614104a26cdada4c53eea104752042bf5a1 upstream.

The GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP does not depend on CONFIG_PCI so move
it to the CONFIG_MIPS symbol so it's always selected for MIPS.
This fixes the missing pci_iomap declaration for MIPS.
Moreover, the pci_iounmap function was not defined in the
io.h header file if the CONFIG_PCI symbol is not set,
but it should since MIPS is not using CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP.

This fixes the following problem on a allyesconfig:

drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c:1031:2: error: implicit declaration of
function 'pci_iomap' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
drivers/net/ethernet/3com/3c59x.c:1044:3: error: implicit declaration of
function 'pci_iounmap' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
 "Short summary for the whole series:

  A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
  design and its implementations for various architectures.  There exist
  more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
  currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
  dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.

  For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
  interchanged.  For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
  (like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
  performance.  Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
  all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
  easily shared between different architectures.  The provided patches
  unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
  existing dma attributes concept.  The thread with more references is
  available here:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html

  These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
  implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
  dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support.  More
  information is available in the following thread:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819

  More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
  area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
  the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
  "dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").

  The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
  (with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
  will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
  functions."

People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping:
  common: DMA-mapping: add NON-CONSISTENT attribute
  common: DMA-mapping: add WRITE_COMBINE attribute
  common: dma-mapping: introduce mmap method
  common: dma-mapping: remove old alloc_coherent and free_coherent methods
  Hexagon: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  Unicore32: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  Microblaze: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  SH: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  Alpha: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  SPARC: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  PowerPC: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  MIPS: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  X86 &amp; IA64: adapt for dma_map_ops changes
  common: dma-mapping: introduce generic alloc() and free() methods
