Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle: "Random fixes across arch/mips, essentially. One fix for an issue in get_user_pages_fast() which previously was discovered on x86, a miscalculation in the support for the MIPS MT hardware multithreading support, the RTC support for the Malta and a fix for a spurious interrupt issue that seems to bite only very special Malta configurations." * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: MIPS: Malta: Don't crash on spurious interrupt.

MIPS: CMP/SMTC: Fix tc_id calculation

2012-08-27T14:10:13Z

Currently the tc_id code is: (read_c0_tcbind() >> TCBIND_CURTC_SHIFT) & TCBIND_CURTC; After processing this becomes: (read_c0_tcbind() >> 21) & ((0xff) << 21) But it should be: (read_c0_tcbind() & ((0xff)<< 21)) >> 21 Signed-off-by: RongQing.Li Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/4077/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Synchronize MIPS count one CPU at a time

2012-08-17T08:57:28Z

The current implementation of synchronise_count_{master,slave} blocks slave CPUs in early boot until all of them come up. This no longer works because blocking a CPU with interrupts off after notifying the CPU to be online causes problems with the current kernel. Specifically, after the workqueue changes (commit a08489c569dc1 "Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo") the CPU_ONLINE notification callback workqueue_cpu_up_callback() will hang on wait_for_completion(&idle_rebind.done), if the slave CPUs are blocked for synchronize_count_slave(). The changes are to update synchronize_count_{master,slave}() to handle one CPU at a time and to call synchronise_count_master() in __cpu_up() so that the CPU_ONLINE notification goes out only after the COP0 COUNT register is synchronized.

MIPS: Module: Deal with malformed HI16/LO16 relocation sequences.

2012-08-17T08:57:28Z

In case a series of R_MIPS_HI16 relocations was not followed by an R_MIPS_LO16 relocation we were leaking the hi16 relocation chain. Handle that error and return an error. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Fix race condition in module relocation code.

2012-08-17T08:57:28Z

The relocation code was essentially taken from the 2.4 modutils which perform relocation in userspace. In 2.6 relocation of multiple modules may be performed in parallel by the in-kernel loader so the global variable mips_hi16_list won't fly anymore. Fix race by moving it into mod_arch_specific.

MIPS: Loongson 2: Sort out clock managment.

2012-08-01T16:10:06Z

For unexplainable reasons the Loongson 2 clock API was implemented in a module so fixing this involved shifting large amounts of code around. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

posix_types.h: Cleanup stale __NFDBITS and related definitions

2012-07-26T20:36:43Z

Recently, glibc made a change to suppress sign-conversion warnings in FD_SET (glibc commit ceb9e56b3d1). This uncovered an issue with the kernel's definition of __NFDBITS if applications #include after including . A build failure would be seen when passing the -Werror=sign-compare and -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 flags to gcc. It was suggested that the kernel should either match the glibc definition of __NFDBITS or remove that entirely. The current in-kernel uses of __NFDBITS can be replaced with BITS_PER_LONG, and there are no uses of the related __FDELT and __FDMASK defines. Given that, we'll continue the cleanup that was started with commit 8b3d1cda4f5f ("posix_types: Remove fd_set macros") and drop the remaining unused macros. Additionally, linux/time.h has similar macros defined that expand to nothing so we'll remove those at the same time.
