MIPS: Add support for XPA.

2015-03-19T16:39:49Z

Add support for extended physical addressing (XPA) so that 32-bit platforms can access equal to or greater than 40 bits of physical addresses. NOTE: 1) XPA and EVA are not the same and cannot be used simultaneously. 2) If you configure your kernel for XPA, the PTEs and all address sizes become 64-bit. 3) Your platform MUST have working HIGHMEM support.

mm: export symbol dependencies of is_zero_pfn()

2014-09-14T14:25:14Z

In order to make the static inline function is_zero_pfn() callable by modules, export its symbol dependencies 'zero_pfn' and (for s390 and mips) 'zero_page_mask'. We need this for KVM, as CONFIG_KVM is a tristate for all supported architectures except ARM and arm64, and testing a pfn whether it refers to the zero page is required to correctly distinguish the zero page from other special RAM ranges that may also have the PG_reserved bit set, but need to be treated as MMIO memory.

MIPS: Initialise MAARs

2014-08-01T22:06:46Z

Add initialisation for Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers. Generic code cannot know the platform-specific requirements with regards to speculative accesses, so it simply calls a platform_maar_init function which platforms with MAARs are expected to implement by calling the provided write_maar_pair function & returning the number of MAAR pairs used. A weak default implementation will simply use no MAAR pairs. Any present but unused MAAR pairs are then marked invalid, effectively disabling them. The end result of this patch is that MAARs are all marked invalid, until platforms implement the platform_maar_init function.

MIPS: add kmap_noncoherent to wire a cached non-coherent TLB entry

2014-05-28T15:20:14Z

This is identical to kmap_coherent apart from the cache coherency attribute used for the TLB entry, so kmap_coherent is abstracted to kmap_prot which is then called for both kmap_coherent & kmap_noncoherent. This will be used by a subsequent patch. Suggested-by: Leonid Yegoshin Signed-off-by: Paul Burton

MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC support

2014-05-23T22:07:01Z

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase. Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D. Kissell is an ingenious demonstration for the MT ASE's power and elegance. Based on Markos Chandras patch https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to merge once upon a time.

MIPS: mm: init: Add free_init_pages() callback for EVA

2014-03-26T22:09:18Z

A core in EVA mode can have any possible segment mapping, so the default free_initmem_default() function may not always work as expected. Therefore, add a callback that platforms can use to free up the init section. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: mm: Move UNIQUE_ENTRYHI macro to a header file

2014-01-22T19:18:58Z

The UNIQUE_ENTRYHI definition was duplicated whenever there was the need to flush the TLB entries. We move this common definition to a header file. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras Signed-off-by: John Crispin Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6129/

sched: Extract the basic add/sub preempt_count modifiers

2013-09-25T12:07:54Z

Rewrite the preempt_count macros in order to extract the 3 basic preempt_count value modifiers: __preempt_count_add() __preempt_count_sub() and the new: __preempt_count_dec_and_test() And since we're at it anyway, replace the unconventional $op_preempt_count names with the more conventional preempt_count_$op. Since these basic operators are equivalent to the previous _notrace() variants, do away with the _notrace() versions.
