The commit a96102be70 introduced set_isa() where compatible ISA info is
also set aside from the one gets passed in. It means, for example, 1004K
will have MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R2/M32R1/II/I flags. This leads to things like
the following inappropriate:
if (c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R1 ||
c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R2 ||
c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R1 ||
c->isa_level == MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R2)
This patch fixes it.

Commit d3ce88431892 "MIPS: Fix modpost error in modules attepting to use
virt_addr_valid()" moved __virt_addr_valid() from a macro in a header
file to a function in ioremap.c. But ioremap.c is only compiled for MIPS
32, and not for MIPS 64.
When compiling for my yeeloong2, which supposedly supports hibernation,
which compiles kernel/power/snapshot.c which calls virt_addr_valid(), I
got this error:
LD init/built-in.o
kernel/built-in.o: In function `memory_bm_free':
snapshot.c:(.text+0x4c9c4): undefined reference to `__virt_addr_valid'

make[1]: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

I suspect that __virt_addr_valid() is fine for mips 64. I moved it to
mmap.c such that it gets compiled for mips 64 and 32.

ERROR: "min_low_pfn" [drivers/block/aoe/aoe.ko] undefined!
Fixed by moving the implementation of virt_addr_valid() into the kernel

Normally r4k_dma_cache_inv should only ever be called with cacheline
aligned addresses. If however, it isn't there is the theoretical
possibility of data corruption. There is no correct way of handling this
and anyway, it should only happen if the DMA API is used incorrectly
so drop
There is a different corruption scenario with these CACHE instructions
removed but again there is no way of handling this correctly and it can
be triggered only through incorrect use of the DMA API.
So just get rid of the complexity.

Drivers for EDAC on Cavium. Supported subsystems are:
o CPU primary caches. These are parity protected only, so only error
reporting.
o Second level cache - ECC protected, provides SECDED.
o Memory: ECC / SECDEC if used with suitable DRAM modules. The driver will
will only initialize if ECC is enabled on a system so is safe to run on
non-ECC memory.
o PCI: Parity error reporting
Since it is very hard to test this sort of code the implementation is very
conservative and uses polling where possible for now.

Problem:
1) Huge page mapping of anonymous memory is initially invalid. Will be
faulted in by copy-on-write mechanism.
2) Userspace attempts store at the end of the huge mapping.
3) TLB Refill exception handler fill TLB with a normal (4K sized)
invalid page at the end of the huge mapping virtual address range.
4) Userspace restarted, and re-attempts the store at the end of the
huge mapping.
5) Page from #3 is invalid, we get a fault and go to the hugepage
fault handler. This tries to map a huge page and calls
huge_ptep_set_access_flags() to install the mapping.
6) We just call the generic ptep_set_access_flags() to set up the page
tables, but the flush there assumes a normal (4K sized) page and
only tries to flush the first part of the huge page virtual address
out of the TLB, since the existing entry from step #3 doesn't
conflict, nothing is flushed.
7) We attempt to load the mapping into the TLB, but because it
conflicts with the entry from step #3, we get a Machine Check
exception.
The fix: Flush the entire rage covered by the huge page in
huge_ptep_set_access_flags(), and remove the optimization in
local_flush_tlb_range() so that the flush actually does the correct
thing.

Commit 97ce2c88f9ad42e3c60a9beb9fca87abf3639faa (jump-label: initialize

resolved with commit 6650df3c380e0db558dbfec63ed860402c6afb2a (MIPS:
Move cache setup to setup_arch().). Unfortunately, after this commit,
the coherency kernel parameters, cca and coherentio, are no longer
processed before their values are used.
This patch fixes this problem by marking them as early_param, which
results in them being processed before they are needed.

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.

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
Pull DMA mapping branch from Marek Szyprowski:
"Short summary for the whole series:
A few limitations have been identified in the current dma-mapping
design and its implementations for various architectures. There exist
more than one function for allocating and freeing the buffers:
currently these 3 are used dma_{alloc, free}_coherent,
dma_{alloc,free}_writecombine, dma_{alloc,free}_noncoherent.
For most of the systems these calls are almost equivalent and can be
interchanged. For others, especially the truly non-coherent ones
(like ARM), the difference can be easily noticed in overall driver
performance. Sadly not all architectures provide implementations for
all of them, so the drivers might need to be adapted and cannot be
easily shared between different architectures. The provided patches
unify all these functions and hide the differences under the already
existing dma attributes concept. The thread with more references is
available here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-sh/msg09777.html
These patches are also a prerequisite for unifying DMA-mapping
implementation on ARM architecture with the common one provided by
dma_map_ops structure and extending it with IOMMU support. More
information is available in the following thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cross-arch/12819
More works on dma-mapping framework are planned, especially in the
area of buffer sharing and managing the shared mappings (together with
the recently introduced dma_buf interface: commit d15bd7ee445d
"dma-buf: Introduce dma buffer sharing mechanism").
The patches in the current set introduce a new alloc/free methods
(with support for memory attributes) in dma_map_ops structure, which
will later replace dma_alloc_coherent and dma_alloc_writecombine
functions."
People finally started piping up with support for merging this, so I'm
merging it as the last of the pending stuff from the merge window.
Looks like pohmelfs is going to wait for 3.5 and more external support
for merging.
