MIPS: Delete unused flush_cache_sigtramp()

2019-02-07T20:59:45+00:00

Commit adcc81f148d7 ("MIPS: math-emu: Write-protect delay slot emulation pages") left flush_cache_sigtramp() unused. Delete the dead code. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton Cc: Davidlohr Bueso Cc: linux-mips@vger.kernel.org

MIPS: c-r4k: Split user/kernel flush_icache_range()

2016-10-04T14:13:57+00:00

flush_icache_range() is used for both user addresses (i.e. cacheflush(2)), and kernel addresses (as the API documentation describes). This isn't really suitable however for Enhanced Virtual Addressing (EVA) where cache operations on usermode addresses must use a different instruction, and the protected cache ops assume user addresses, making flush_icache_range() ineffective on kernel addresses. Split out a new __flush_icache_user_range() and __local_flush_icache_user_range() for users which actually want to flush usermode addresses (note that flush_icache_user_range() already exists on various architectures but with different arguments). The implementation of flush_icache_range() will be changed in an upcoming commit to use unprotected normal cache ops so as to always work on the kernel mode address space.

MIPS: Call find_vma with the mmap_sem held

2014-06-03T20:19:09+00:00

Performing vma lookups without taking the mm->mmap_sem is asking for trouble. While doing the search, the vma in question can be modified or even removed before returning to the caller. Take the lock (exclusively) in order to avoid races while iterating through the vmacache and/or rbtree. Updates two functions: - process_fpemu_return() - cteon_flush_cache_sigtramp() Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso Tested-by: Andreas Herrmann Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: akpm@linux-foundation.org Cc: zeus@gnu.org Cc: aswin@hp.com Cc: davidlohr@hp.com Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6811/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

mips: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-24T21:39:56+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.

MIPS: Optimize current_cpu_type() for better code.

2013-09-17T16:50:53+00:00

o Move current_cpu_type() to a separate header file o #ifdefing on supported CPU types lets modern GCC know that certain code in callers may be discarded ideally turning current_cpu_type() into a function returning a constant. o Use current_cpu_type() rather than direct access to struct cpuinfo_mips.

MIPS: Delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from MIPS code

2013-07-14T23:36:51+00:00

commit 3747069b25e419f6b51395f48127e9812abc3596 upstream. The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. Here, we remove all the MIPS __cpuinit from C code and __CPUINIT from asm files. MIPS is interesting in this respect, because there are also uasm users hiding behind their own renamed versions of the __cpuinit macros.

MIPS/EDAC: Improve OCTEON EDAC support.

MIPS: Cavium: Add EDAC support.

2012-12-12T15:48:49+00:00

Drivers for EDAC on Cavium. Supported subsystems are: o CPU primary caches. These are parity protected only, so only error reporting. o Second level cache - ECC protected, provides SECDED. o Memory: ECC / SECDEC if used with suitable DRAM modules. The driver will will only initialize if ECC is enabled on a system so is safe to run on non-ECC memory. o PCI: Parity error reporting Since it is very hard to test this sort of code the implementation is very conservative and uses polling where possible for now.
