There is no reliable way to tell R4000/R4400 SC and MC variations apart, however simple heuristic should give good results. Only the MC version supports coherent caching so we can rely on such a mode having been set for KSEG0 by the power-on firmware to reliably indicate an MC processor. SC processors reportedly hang on coherent cached memory accesses and Linux is linked to a cached load address so the firmware has to use the correct caching mode to download the kernel image in a cached mode successfully. OTOH if the firmware chooses to use either the non-coherent cached or the uncached mode for KSEG0 on an MC processor, then the SC variant will be reported, just as we currently do, so no regression here.

This change complements commits d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4 [MIPS: DEC: Convert to new irq_chip functions] and 5359b938 [MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA interrupt handling fix] and implements automatic handling of the two classes of DMA interrupts the I/O ASIC implements, informational and errors. Informational DMA interrupts do not stop the transfer and use the `handle_edge_irq' handler that clears the request right away so that another request may be recorded while the previous is being handled. DMA error interrupts stop the transfer and require a corrective action before DMA can be reenabled. Therefore they use the `handle_fasteoi_irq' handler that only clears the request on the way out. Because MIPS processor interrupt inputs, one of which the I/O ASIC's interrupt controller is cascaded to, are level-triggered it is recommended that error DMA interrupt action handlers are registered with the IRQF_ONESHOT flag set so that they are run with the interrupt line masked. This change removes the export of clear_ioasic_dma_irq that now does not have to be called by device drivers to clear interrupts explicitly anymore. Originally these interrupts were cleared in the .end handler of the `irq_chip' structure, before it was removed. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

There is currently no corresponding ELF program header for the "text" loadable segment which is confusing for some bootloader out there such as CFE because it expects to find a program header matching the segment it is trying to load. The Linux kernel ELF binary "vmlinux" has a similar program header for the text segment so we just mimic this here too.

Greg Ungerer authored
Currently when using an initrd on a MIPS system the start of the bootmem region of memory is set to the larger of the end of the kernel bss region (_end) or the end of the initrd. In a typical memory layout where the initrd is at some address above the kernel image this means that the start of the bootmem region will be the end of the initrd. But when we are done processing/loading the initrd we have no way to reclaim the memory region it occupied, and we lose a large chunk of now otherwise empty RAM from our final running system. The bootmem code is designed to allow this initrd to be reserved (and the code in finalize_initrd() currently does this). When the initrd is finally processed/loaded its reserved memory is freed. Fix the setting of the start of the bootmem map to be the end of the kernel.

Helge Deller authored
Since the beginning of the parisc-linux port, sometimes 64bit SMP kernels were not able to bring up other CPUs than the monarch CPU and instead crashed the kernel. The reason was unclear, esp. since it involved various machines (e.g. J5600, J6750 and SuperDome). Testing showed, that those crashes didn't happened when less than 4GB were installed, or if a 32bit Linux kernel was booted. In the end, the fix for those SMP problems is trivial: During the early phase of the initialization of the CPUs, including the monarch CPU, the PDC_PSW firmware function to enable WIDE (=64bit) mode is called. It's documented that this firmware function may clobber various registers, and one one of those possibly clobbered registers is %cr30 which holds the task thread info pointer. Now, if %cr30 would always have been clobbered, then this bug would have been detected much earlier. But lots of testing finally showed, that - at least for %cr30 - on some machines only the upper 32bits of the 64bit register suddenly turned zero after the firmware call. So, after finding the root cause, the explanation for the various crashes became clear: - On 32bit SMP Linux kernels all upper 32bit were zero, so we didn't faced this problem. - Monarch CPUs in 64bit mode always booted sucessfully, because the inital task thread info pointer was below 4GB. - Secondary CPUs booted sucessfully on machines with less than 4GB RAM because the upper 32bit were zero anyay. - Secondary CPus failed to boot if we had more than 4GB RAM and the task thread info pointer was located above the 4GB boundary. Finally, the patch to fix this problem is trivial by saving the %cr30 register before the firmware call and restoring it afterwards.

This patch addresses a long-standing bug where the get_user_pages_fast() write parameter used for setting the underlying page table entry permission bits was incorrectly set to write=1 for data_direction=DMA_TO_DEVICE, and passed into get_user_pages_fast() via vhost_scsi_map_iov_to_sgl(). However, this parameter is intended to signal WRITEs to pinned userspace PTEs for the virtio-scsi DMA_FROM_DEVICE -> READ payload case, and *not* for the virtio-scsi DMA_TO_DEVICE -> WRITE payload case. This bug would manifest itself as random process segmentation faults on KVM host after repeated vhost starts + stops and/or with lots of vhost endpoints + LUNs.

The "legacy" ECC layout used until 3.12-rc1 uses all the OOB area by computing the ECC strength and ECC step size ourselves. Commit 2febcdf8 ("mtd: gpmi: set the BCHs geometry with the ecc info") makes the driver use the ECC info (ECC strength and ECC step size) provided by the MTD code, and creates a different NAND ECC layout for the BCH, and use the new ECC layout. This causes a regression: We can not mount the ubifs which was created by the old NAND ECC layout. This patch fixes this issue by reverting to the legacy ECC layout. We will probably introduce a new device-tree property to indicate that the new ECC layout can be used. For now though, for the imminent 3.12 release, we just unconditionally revert to the 3.11 behaviour. This leaves a harmless cosmetic warning about an unused function. At this point in the cycle I really don't care.
