MIPS: Loongson: Switch from flatmem to sparsemem
MIPS: Loongson: Disallow 4kB pages
MIPS: Add missing definition for MADV_HWPOISON.
MIPS: Fix build error if __xchg() is not getting inlined.
MIPS: IP22/IP28 Disable early printk to fix boot problems on some systems. -
With flatmem hibernation for Loongson will fail, and there are also some
other problems such as broken files when using NFS or CIFS / Samba.The config help of sparsemem says:
"This option provides some potential performance benefits, along with
decreased code complexity."So to avoid the potential problems of FLATMEM, we disable FLATMEM directly
and use SPARSEMEM instead.Related email thread:

Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
The possible reason is the cache aliases problem:
Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger
then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem.
To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing. The 2nd possible
solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for
extra cache flushes. So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is
solved.Signed-off-by: Wu Zhangjin

If __xchg() is not getting inlined the outline version of the function
will have a reference to __xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() which does not

Some Debian users have reported that the kernel hangs early during boot on
some IP22 systems. Thomas Bogendoerfer found that this is due to a "bad
interaction between CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and overwritten prom memory during
early boot". Since there's no fix yet, disable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK for now.Signed-off-by: Martin Michlmayr

The removal of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit a583f1b54249b
"remove unused TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag," resulted in incorrect
setting of the unaligned access control flags by the prctl syscall.The re-addition of the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag, commit d0420c83f39f
"KEYS: Extend TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME to (almost) all architectures [try #6]"
further caused problems, namely incorrect operands to assembler code
as evidenced by:AS arch/alpha/kernel/entry.o
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S: Assembler messages:
arch/alpha/kernel/entry.S:326: Warning: operand out of range

0x00000000000000ff)Both regressions fixed by (1) rearranging TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME flag to be
in lower 8 bits of the thread info flags, and (2) making sure that

Some Blackfin on-chip ROMs utilize some MDMA channels during the suspend
and resume process, but don't clean up after themselves. So manually
clear all DMA channels when resuming since no DMA could have been running
at this point in time. Now Linux should be able to work regardless of any
laziness on the part of the on-chip ROM or boot loader.Signed-off-by: Michael Hennerich

In commit 0de51088e6a82bc8413d3ca9e28bbca2788b5b53, we introduced the
use of acpi-cpufreq on VIA/Centaur CPU's by removing a vendor check for
VENDOR_INTEL. However, as it turns out, at least the Nano CPU's also
need the PDC (processor driver capabilities) handshake in order to
activate the methods required for acpi-cpufreq.Since arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() contains another vendor check for
Intel, the PDC is not initialized on VIA CPU's. The resulting behavior
of a current mainline kernel on such systems is: acpi-cpufreq
loads and it indicates CPU frequency changes. However, the CPU stays at
a single frequencyThis trivial patch ensures that init_intel_pdc() is called on Intel and
VIA/Centaur CPU's alike.Signed-off-by: Harald Welte

This was the cause of various boot failures on V480, V880, etc.
systems.Kernel image memory was being overwritten because the vmemmap[]
array was being sized to small. So if you had physical memory
addresses past a certain point, the early bootup would spam
all over variables in the kernel data section.The vmemmap mappings map page structs, not page struct pointers.
And that was the key thinko in the macro definition.This was fixable thanks to the help, reports, and tireless patience
of Hermann Lauer.Reported-by: Hermann Lauer
