MIPS: Fix crash that occurs when function tracing is enabled

2012-11-23T17:44:38+00:00

A recent patch changed some irq routines from inlines to functions.
These routines are called by the tracer code. Now that they're functions,
if they are compiled for function tracing they will call the tracer
and crash the system due to infinite recursion. The fix disables
tracing in these functions by using "notrace" in the function
definition.

MIPS: Merge overlapping bootmem ranges

2012-11-23T17:44:37+00:00

Without this, we may end up with something like this in /proc/iomem:

01100000-014fffff : System RAM
  01100000-013bf48f : Kernel code
  013bf490-0149e01f : Kernel data
01500000-0c0fffff : System RAM

but the two System RAM ranges should be one single range.  This particular
case will result in kexec failure on Octeon systems if the kernel being
loaded by kexec is bigger than the already running kernel.

mips, arc: fix build failure

2012-11-16T22:33:04+00:00

Using a cross-compiler to fix another issue, the following build error
occurred for mips defconfig:

  arch/mips/fw/arc/misc.c: In function 'ArcHalt':
  arch/mips/fw/arc/misc.c:25:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'local_irq_disable'

Fix it up by including irqflags.h.

MIPS: Malta: Fix interupt number of CBUS UART.

2012-11-13T13:50:15+00:00

The CBUS UART's interrupt number was wrong conflicting with the interrupt
being tied to the Intel PIIX4.  Since the PIIX4's interrupt is registered
before the CBUS UART which is not being used on most systems this would
not be noticed.

Attempts to open the ttyS2 CBUS UART would result in:

genirq: Flags mismatch irq 18. 00000000 (serial) vs. 00010000 (XT-PIC cascade)
serial_link_irq_chain: request failed: -16 for irq: 18

Qemu was written to match the kernel so will need to be fixed also.

MIPS: Make irqflags.h functions preempt-safe for non-mipsr2 cpus

2012-11-09T09:59:21+00:00

For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status.  This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.

Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to
mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining.

This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test.  It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug.  Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.

MIPS: Remove irqflags.h dependency from bitops.h

2012-11-09T09:59:10+00:00

The "else clause" of most functions in bitops.h invoked
raw_local_irq_{save,restore}() and in doing so had a dependency on
irqflags.h.  This fix moves said code to bitops.c, removing the
dependency.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: No functional change but it's consistent with how
use types elsewhere in the code.]

MIPS: compat: Implement is_compat_task() by testing for 32-bit address space.

2012-11-09T09:58:29+00:00

So far is_compat_task() was testing for 32-bit registers if O32 support
was enabled and if O32 support was disabled but N32 enabled it was testing
for 32-bit address space.  So if both O32 and N32 were enabled a N32
task was not considered a compat task, whops.

This still leaves potential cases where O32 and N32 need different treatment
unsolved.  But that's another commit.
