MIPS: Fix kernel lockup or crash after CPU offline/online

2015-04-14T09:33:59+00:00

commit c7754e75100ed5e3068ac5085747f2bfc386c8d6 upstream.

As printk() invocation can cause e.g. a TLB miss, printk() cannot be
called before the exception handlers have been properly initialized.
This can happen e.g. when netconsole has been loaded as a kernel module
and the TLB table has been cleared when a CPU was offline.

Call cpu_report() in start_secondary() only after the exception handlers
have been initialized to fix this.

Without the patch the kernel will randomly either lockup or crash
after a CPU is onlined and the console driver is a module.

remove references to cpu_*_map in arch/

2012-03-29T05:08:30+00:00

This has been obsolescent for a while; time for the final push.

In adjacent context, replaced old cpus_* with cpumask_*.

MIPS: Move idle task creation to work queue

2011-03-14T20:07:27+00:00

To avoid forking usermode thread when creating an idle task, move fork_idle
to a work queue.

If kernel starts with maxcpus= option which does not bring all available
cpus online at boot time, idle tasks for offline cpus are not created. If
later offline cpus are hotplugged through sysfs, __cpu_up is called in
the context of the user task, and fork_idle copies its non-zero mm
pointer.  This causes BUG() in per_cpu_trap_init.

This also avoids issues with resource limits of the CPU writing to sysfs,
containers, maybe others.

MIPS: Tracing: Add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS

2009-12-17T01:57:24+00:00

This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq
handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the
__irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block
with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).

Thanks goes to Steven & Frederic Weisbecker for their feedbacks.
