On MIPS the GLOBAL bit of the PTE must have the same value in any aligned pair of PTEs. These pairs of PTEs are referred to as "buddies". In a SMP system is is possible for two CPUs to be calling set_pte() on adjacent PTEs at the same time. There is a race between setting the PTE and a different CPU setting the GLOBAL bit in its buddy PTE. This race can be observed when multiple CPUs are executing vmap()/vfree() at the same time. Make setting the buddy PTE's GLOBAL bit an atomic operation to close the race condition. The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR && CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not* handled. Signed-off-by:
