From Dave Johnson <djohnson+linuxmips@sw.starentnetworks.com>:
sb1250_gettimeoffset() simply reads the current cpu 0 timer remaining
value, however once this counter reaches 0 and the interrupt is raised,
it immediately resets and begins to count down again.
If sb1250_gettimeoffset() is called on cpu 1 via do_gettimeofday() after
the timer has reset but prior to cpu 0 processing the interrupt and
taking write_seqlock() in timer_interrupt() it will return a full value
(or close to it) causing time to jump backwards 1ms. Once cpu 0 handles
the interrupt and timer_interrupt() gets far enough along it will jump
forward 1ms.
Fix this problem by implementing mips_hpt_*() on sb1250 using a spare
timer unrelated to the existing periodic interrupt timers. It runs at
1Mhz with a full 23bit counter. This eliminated the custom
do_gettimeoffset() for sb1250 and allowed use of the generic
fixed_rate_gettimeoffset() using mips_hpt_*() and timerhi/timerlo.

A recent change requires cpu_possible_map to be initialized before
smp_sched_init() but most MIPS platforms were initializing their
processors in the prom_prepare_cpus callback of smp_prepare_cpus. The
simple fix of calling prom_prepare_cpus from one of the earlier SMP
initialization hooks doesn't work well either since IPIs may require
init_IRQ() to have completed, so bit the bullet and split
prom_prepare_cpus into two initialization functions, plat_smp_setup
which is called early from setup_arch and plat_prepare_cpus called where
prom_prepare_cpus used to be called.

I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition. The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.
Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI. But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.
We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter. If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.
I do not want to introduce such a patch now. But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it. The patch below would do this. Can we
get this late patch applied before the release more or less fixes the
syscall API?

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

task_struct is an internal structure to the kernel with a lot of good
information, that is probably interesting in core dumps. However there is
no way for user space to know what format that information is in making it
useless.
I grepped the GDB 6.3 source code and NT_TASKSTRUCT while defined is not
used anywhere else. So I would be surprised if anyone notices it is
missing.
In addition exporting kernel pointers to all the interesting kernel data
structures sounds like the very definition of an information leak. I
haven't a clue what someone with evil intentions could do with that
information, but in any attack against the kernel it looks like this is the
perfect tool for aiming that attack.
So since NT_TASKSTRUCT is useless as currently defined and is potentially
dangerous, let's just not export it.
(akpm: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> "would be amazed" if anything was

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.
Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.
Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.
If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).
Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

How is anon_rss initialized? In dup_mmap, and by mm_alloc's memset; but
that's not so good if an mm_counter_t is a special type. And how is rss
initialized? By set_mm_counter, all over the place. Come on, we just need to
initialize them both at once by set_mm_counter in mm_init (which follows the
memcpy when forking).

Some boards declare prom_free_prom_memory as a void function but the
caller free_initmem() expects a return value.
Fix those up and return 0 instead, just like everyone else does.

Prefetching may be fatal on some systems if we're prefetching beyond the
end of memory on some systems. It's also a seriously bad idea on non
dma-coherent systems.

Limit the number of cpu type options in the cpu menu to just those
types that are actually available for the select platform.

CFE 1.2.5 and earlier fails to turn on the ExpMemEn bit in the
PCIFeatureControl register, which means that DMA does not work
beyond physical address 01_0000_0000, ergo to DRAM beyond 1GB.
With ExpMemEn turned on, 01_0000_0000-0f_ffff_ffff is mapped,
so DMA works for up to 61 GB of DRAM.
Will be fixed in CFE 1.2.6 (yet to be released).

Cacheflush(0, 0, 0) was crashing the system. This is because
flush_icache_range(start, end) tries to flushing whole address space
(0 - ~0UL) if both start and end are zero.

This may have made sense on a paranoid day with pass 1 BCM1250 processors
that were throwing cache error exception left and right for no good
reason. On modern silicion that hardly makes sense and the code had
gotten just an obscurity ...
