The code located at arch/mips/lantiq/ included module.h to be able to use
the EXPORT_SYMBOL* macros. These can now be directly included using
export.h.

<title>MIPS: ASID conflict after CPU hotplug</title>

<id>5c200197130e307de6eba72fc335c83c9dd6a5bc</id>
<content type='text'>
I am running SMP Linux 2.6.37-rc1 on BMIPS5000 (single core dual thread)
and observe some abnormalities when doing system suspend/resume which I
narrowed down to cpu hotplugging. The suspend brings the second thread
processor down and then restarts it, after which I see memory corruption
in userspace. I started digging and found out that problem occurs because
while doing execve() the child process is getting the same ASID as the
parent, which obviously corrupts parent's address space.

Further digging showed that activate_mm() calls get_new_mmu_context() to
get a new ASID, but at this time ASID field in entryHi is 1, and
asid_cache(cpu) is 0x100 (it was just reset to ASID_FIRST_VERSION when
the secondary TP was booting).

So, get_new_mmu_context() increments the asid_cache(cpu) value to
0x101, and thus puts 0x01 into entryHi. The result - ASID field does
not get changed as it was supposed to.

My solution is very simple - do not reset asid_cache(cpu) on TP warm
restart.

The parse_mtd_partitions() and mtd_device_register() functions were
combined into mtd_device_parse_register().  So call that instead.

The Kernel hangs occasionally during boot after "Calibrating delay loop..".
This is caused by the c0_compare_int_usable() routine in cevt-r4k.c
returning false which causes the system to disable the timer and hang later.
The false return happens because the routine is using a series of four calls
to irq_disable_hazard() as a delay while it waits for the timer changes to
propagate to the cp0 cause register. On newer MIPS cores, like the 74K, the
series of irq_disable_hazard() calls turn into ehb instructions and can take
as little as a few clock ticks for all 4 instructions. This is not enough of
a delay, so the routine thinks the timer is not working.  This fix uses up
to a max number of cycle counter ticks for the delay and uses
back_to_back_c0_hazard() instead of irq_disable_hazard() to handle the
hazard condition between cp0 writes and cp0 reads.

This is to exclude it from force threading to allow RT patch set to work.
And while on this line
* Remove IRQF_DISABLED as as this flag is NOOP
* Add IRQF_PERCPU as this is a per cpu interrupt.
