The CBUS UART's interrupt number was wrong conflicting with the interrupt
being tied to the Intel PIIX4. Since the PIIX4's interrupt is registered
before the CBUS UART which is not being used on most systems this would
not be noticed.
Attempts to open the ttyS2 CBUS UART would result in:
genirq: Flags mismatch irq 18. 00000000 (serial) vs. 00010000 (XT-PIC cascade)
serial_link_irq_chain: request failed: -16 for irq: 18
Qemu was written to match the kernel so will need to be fixed also.

For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status. This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.
Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to
mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining.
This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test. It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug. Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.

The "else clause" of most functions in bitops.h invoked

So far is_compat_task() was testing for 32-bit registers if O32 support
was enabled and if O32 support was disabled but N32 enabled it was testing
for 32-bit address space. So if both O32 and N32 were enabled a N32
task was not considered a compat task, whops.
This still leaves potential cases where O32 and N32 need different treatment
unsolved. But that's another commit.

reduces them to nothing.
Possibly they should be just deleted, but it's possible that they'll acquire
generic-y or genhdr-y lines in future, so I'm keeping them around for the
moment.
Note that MIPS will compile happily if the file is deleted instead. I haven't

The microassembler used in tlbex.c does not notice if a label is redefined
resulting in relocations against such labels silently missrelocated.
The issues exists since commit add6eb04776db4189ea89f596cbcde31b899be9d
[Synthesize TLB exception handlers at runtime.] in 2.6.10 and went unnoticed
for so long because the relocations for the affected branches got computed
to do something *almost* sensible.

At some recent point arch/mips/include/asm/delay.h has started being
included into csrc-octeon.c where the __?delay() functions are defined.
This causes a compile failure due to conflicting declarations and
definitions of the functions.
It turns out that the generic definitions in arch/mips/lib/delay.c also
conflict.
Proposed fix: Declare the functions to take unsigned long parameters
just like asm-generic (and x86) does. Update __delay to agree
(__ndelay and __udelay need no change).
Bonus: Get rid of 'inline' from __delay() definition, as it is globally
visible, and the compiler should be making this decision itself (it does
in fact inline the function without being told to).

getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
the string.
For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
need to recopy it from userspace.
This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
convenient.

This fault was detected using the kgdb test suite on boot and it
crashes recursively due to the fact that CONFIG_KPROBES on mips adds
an extra die notifier in the page fault handler. The crash signature
looks like this:
kgdbts:RUN bad memory access test
KGDB: re-enter exception: ALL breakpoints killed
Call Trace:
[<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
[<807b7548>] dump_stack+0x20/0x54
The fix for now is to have kgdb return immediately if the fault type
is DIE_PAGE_FAULT and allow the kprobe code to decide what is supposed
to happen.

We can save an instruction in the TLB Refill path for kernel mappings
by aligning swapper_pg_dir on a 64K boundary. The address of
swapper_pg_dir can be generated with a single LUI instead of
LUI/{D}ADDUI.
The alignment of __init_end is bumped up to 64K so there are no holes
between it and swapper_pg_dir, which is placed at the very beginning
of .bss.
The alignment of invalid_pmd_table and invalid_pte_table can be
relaxed to PAGE_SIZE. We do this by using __page_aligned_bss, which
has the added benefit of eliminating alignment holes in .bss.

I've maintained this patch, originally from Thiemo Seufer in 2004, for a
really long time, but I think it's time for it to get a look at for
possible inclusion. I have had no problems with it across various SGI
systems over the years.
To quote the post here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-12/msg00000.html
"the atomic functions use so far memory references for the inline
assembler to access the semaphore. This can lead to additional
instructions in the ll/sc loop, because newer compilers don't
expand the memory reference any more but leave it to the assembler.
The appended patch uses registers instead, and makes the ll/sc
arguments more explicit. In some cases it will lead also to better
register scheduling because the register isn't bound to an output
any more."

All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem. The
plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table for
PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace. Subsequently,
users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free() functions can be
migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put() functions. Once this has
been completed, the legacy API and the compatibility code in the core
can be removed.
In addition to the above, these changes also add support for configuring
the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on ECAP and
EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver. Managed
functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get() and
devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has been
updated to use them. If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled, dummy
functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely compile out.
Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and
removed from the drivers. Finally, a small fix corrects the description
of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree representation.

Merge tag 'for-3.7-rc1' of git://gitorious.org/linux-pwm/linux-pwm
Pull pwm changes from Thierry Reding:
"All legacy PWM providers have now been moved to the PWM subsystem.
The plan for 3.8 is to adapt all board files to provide a lookup table
for PWM devices in order to get rid of the global namespace.
Subsequently, users of the legacy pwm_request() and pwm_free()
functions can be migrated to the new pwm_get() and pwm_put()
functions. Once this has been completed, the legacy API and the
compatibility code in the core can be removed.
In addition to the above, these changes also add support for
configuring the polarity of a PWM signal (currently only supported on
ECAP and EHRPWM) and include a much needed rework of the i.MX driver.
Managed functions to obtain and release a PWM device (devm_pwm_get()
and devm_pwm_put()) have been added and the pwm-backlight driver has
been updated to use them. If the PWM subsystem hasn't been enabled,
dummy functions are provided that allow the subsystem to safely
compile out.
Some common checks on input parameters have been moved to the core and
removed from the drivers. Finally, a small fix corrects the
description of the PWM specifier's second cell in the device tree
representation."
