* 'upstream' of git://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/upstream-linus: MIPS: Loongson: Switch from flatmem to sparsemem MIPS: Loongson: Disallow 4kB pages MIPS: Add missing definition for MADV_HWPOISON. MIPS: Fix build error if __xchg() is not getting inlined. MIPS: IP22/IP28 Disable early printk to fix boot problems on some systems.

With flatmem hibernation for Loongson will fail, and there are also some other problems such as broken files when using NFS or CIFS / Samba. The config help of sparsemem says: "This option provides some potential performance benefits, along with decreased code complexity." So to avoid the potential problems of FLATMEM, we disable FLATMEM directly and use SPARSEMEM instead.

Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! The possible reason is the cache aliases problem: Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem. To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing. The 2nd possible solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for extra cache flushes. So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is solved.

Some Debian users have reported that the kernel hangs early during boot on some IP22 systems. Thomas Bogendoerfer found that this is due to a "bad interaction between CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and overwritten prom memory during early boot". Since there's no fix yet, disable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK for now.

Commits 3d7a641e ("SLOW_WORK: Wait for outstanding work items belonging to a module to clear") introduced some code to make sure that all of a module's slow-work items were complete before that module was removed, and commit 3bde31a4 ("SLOW_WORK: Allow a requeueable work item to sleep till the thread is needed") further extended that, breaking it in the process if CONFIG_MODULES=n: CC kernel/slow-work.o kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_execute': kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once kernel/slow-work.c:313: error: for each function it appears in.) kernel/slow-work.c: In function 'slow_work_wait_for_items': kernel/slow-work.c:950: error: 'slow_work_unreg_sync_lock' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/slow-work.c:951: error: 'slow_work_unreg_wq' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/slow-work.c:961: error: 'slow_work_unreg_work_item' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/slow-work.c:974: error: 'slow_work_unreg_module' undeclared (first use in this function) kernel/slow-work.c:977: error: 'slow_work_thread_processing' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [kernel/slow-work.o] Error 1 Fix this by: (1) Extracting the bits of slow_work_execute() that are contingent on CONFIG_MODULES, and the bits that should be, into inline functions and placing them into the #ifdef'd section that defines the relevant variables and adding stubs for moduleless kernels. This allows the removal of some #ifdefs. (2) #ifdef'ing out the contents of slow_work_wait_for_items() in moduleless kernels. The four functions related to handling module unloading synchronisation (and their associated variables) could be offloaded into a separate .c file, but each function is only used once and three of them are tiny, so doing so would prevent them from being inlined.

The removal of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit a583f1b5 "remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag," resulted in incorrect setting of the unaligned access control flags by the prctl syscall. The re-addition of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit d0420c83 "KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]" further caused problems, namely incorrect operands to assembler code as evidenced by: AS arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages: arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S:326: Warning: operand out of range (0x0000000000000406 is not between 0x0000000000000000 and 0x00000000000000ff) Both regressions fixed by (1) rearranging TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag to be in lower 8 bits of the thread info flags, and (2) making sure that ALPHA_UAC_SHIFT matches the rearrangement of the thread info flags.

Code was added to mm/higmem.c that depends on several kmap types that powerpc does not support. We add dummy invalid definitions for KM_NMI, KM_NM_PTE, and KM_IRQ_PTE. According to list discussion, this fix should not be needed anymore starting with 2.6.33. The code is commented to this effect so hopefully we will remember to remove this.

In 2.6.23 kernel, commit a32ea1e1 ("Fix read/truncate race") fixed a race in the generic code, and as a side effect, now do_generic_file_read() can ask us to readpage() past the i_size. This seems to be correctly handled by the block routines (e.g. block_read_full_page() fills the page with zeroes in case if somebody is trying to read past the last inode's block). JFFS2 doesn't handle this; it assumes that it won't be asked to read pages which don't exist -- and thus that there will be at least _one_ valid 'frag' on the page it's being asked to read. It will fill any holes with the following memset: memset(buf, 0, min(end, frag->ofs + frag->size) - offset); When the 'closest smaller match' returned by jffs2_lookup_node_frag() is actually on a previous page and ends before 'offset', that results in: memset(buf, 0, <huge unsigned negative>); Hopefully, in most cases the corruption is fatal, and quickly causing random oopses, like this: root@10.0.0.4:~/ltp-fs-20090531# ./testcases/kernel/fs/ftest/ftest01 Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000008 Faulting instruction address: 0xc01cd980 Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] [...] NIP [c01cd980] rb_insert_color+0x38/0x184 LR [c0043978] enqueue_hrtimer+0x88/0xc4 Call Trace: [c6c63b60] [c004f9a8] tick_sched_timer+0xa0/0xe4 (unreliable) [c6c63b80] [c0043978] enqueue_hrtimer+0x88/0xc4 [c6c63b90] [c0043a48] __run_hrtimer+0x94/0xbc [c6c63bb0] [c0044628] hrtimer_interrupt+0x140/0x2b8 [c6c63c10] [c000f8e8] timer_interrupt+0x13c/0x254 [c6c63c30] [c001352c] ret_from_except+0x0/0x14 --- Exception: 901 at memset+0x38/0x5c LR = jffs2_read_inode_range+0x144/0x17c [c6c63cf0] [00000000] (null) (unreliable) This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes all LTP tests on NAND/UBI with JFFS2 filesystem that were failing since 2.6.23 (seems like the bug above also broke the truncation).
