MIPS: Malta: EVA: Rename 'eva_entry' to 'platform_eva_init'

2014-08-19T16:24:41+00:00

Rename 'eva_entry' to 'platform_eva_init' as required by the new
'eva_init' macro in the eva.h header. Since this macro is now used
in a platform dependent way, it must not depend on its caller so move
the t1 register initialization inside this macro. Also set the .reorder
assembler option in case the caller may have previously set .noreorder.
This may allow a few assembler optimizations. Finally include missing
headers and document the register usage for this macro.

MIPS: EVA: Add new EVA header

2014-08-19T16:24:40+00:00

Generic code may need to perform certain operations when EVA is
enabled, for example, configure the segmentation registers during
boot. In order to avoid using more CONFIG_EVA ifdefs in the arch code,
such functions will be added in this header instead.
Initially this header contains a macro which will be used by generic
code later on during VPEs configuration on secondary cores.
All it does is to call the platform specific EVA init code in case
EVA is enabled.

MIPS: syscall: Fix AUDIT value for O32 processes on MIPS64

2014-08-19T16:24:39+00:00

On MIPS64, O32 processes set both TIF_32BIT_ADDR and
TIF_32BIT_REGS so the previous condition treated O32 applications
as N32 when evaluating seccomp filters. Fix the condition to check
both TIF_32BIT_{REGS, ADDR} for the N32 AUDIT flag.

MIPS: NL: Fix nlm_xlp_defconfig build error

2014-08-19T15:48:44+00:00

The nlm_xlp_defconfig build fails with

./arch/mips/include/asm/mach-netlogic/topology.h:15:0:
			error: "topology_core_id" redefined [-Werror]
In file included from include/linux/smp.h:59:0,

./arch/mips/include/asm/smp.h:41:0:
			note: this is the location of the previous definition

and similar errors.

This is caused by commit bda4584cd943d7 ("MIPS: Support CPU topology files
in sysfs") which adds the defines to arch/mips/include/asm/smp.h.

Remove the defines from arch/mips/include/asm/mach-netlogic/topology.h
as no longer necessary.

MIPS: Remove race window in page fault handling

2014-08-19T11:31:09+00:00

Multicore MIPSes without I/D hardware coherency suffered from a race
condition in the page fault handler. The page table entry was
published before any pending lazy D-cache flush was committed, hence
it allowed execution of stale page cache data by other VPEs in the
system.

To make the cache handling safe we need to perform flushing already in
the set_pte_at function. MIPSes without coherent I-caches can get a
small increase in flushes due to the unavailability of the execute
flag in set_pte_at.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: outlining set_pte_at() saves a good k in a test
build, so I moved its definition from pgtable.h to cache.c.]

Merge branch 'signal-cleanup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/misc

2014-08-09T16:58:12+00:00

Pull arch signal handling cleanup from Richard Weinberger:
 "This patch series moves all remaining archs to the get_signal(),
  signal_setup_done() and sigsp() functions.

  Currently these archs use open coded variants of the said functions.
  Further, unused parameters get removed from get_signal_to_deliver(),
  tracehook_signal_handler() and signal_delivered().

  At the end of the day we save around 500 lines of code."
