MIPS: Fix poweroff failure when HOTPLUG_CPU configured.

2013-01-03T03:33:40Z

commit 8add1ecb81f541ef2fcb0b85a5470ad9ecfb4a84 upstream. When poweroff machine, kernel_power_off() call disable_nonboot_cpus(). And if we have HOTPLUG_CPU configured, disable_nonboot_cpus() is not an empty function but attempt to actually disable the nonboot cpus. Since system state is SYSTEM_POWER_OFF, play_dead() won't be called and thus disable_nonboot_cpus() hangs. Therefore, we make this patch to avoid poweroff failure.

mips,kgdb: fix recursive page fault with CONFIG_KPROBES

2012-10-30T23:26:44Z

commit f0a996eeeda214f4293e234df33b29bec003b536 upstream. This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature looks like this: kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed Call Trace: [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 [<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54 The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed to happen.

kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-17T02:49:27Z

commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream. The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers such as icecream do expect. This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel miscompilations. Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this incorrect -x parameter syntax.

MIPS: ASID conflict after CPU hotplug

2011-11-10T17:59:45Z

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. Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1797/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Kernel hangs occasionally during boot.

2011-11-08T17:59:22Z

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.
