An overview of the general architecture changes: - Massive DMA ops refactoring from Christoph Hellwig (huzzah for deleting crufty code!). - We introduce NT_MIPS_DSP & NT_MIPS_FP_MODE ELF notes & corresponding regsets to expose DSP ASE & floating point mode state respectively, both for live debugging & core dumps. - We better optimize our code by hard-coding cpu_has_* macros at compile time where their values are known due to the ISA revision that the kernel build is targeting. - The EJTAG exception handler now better handles SMP systems, where it was previously possible for CPUs to clobber a register value saved by another CPU. - Our implementation of memset() gained a couple of fixes for MIPSr6 systems to return correct values in some cases where stores fault. - We now implement ioremap_wc() using the uncached-accelerated cache coherency attribute where supported, which is detected during boot, and fall back to plain uncached access where necessary. The MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() & ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed. - The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be running threads within the affected process switch mode. - Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache maintenance overhead when flushing the icache. - A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms. - Miscellaneous cleanups all over. And some platform-specific changes: - ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build failures for some drivers. - ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes & better gpio-keys support. - Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver. - The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree, allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address. - Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size. - Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata. - Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write buffering issue & support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU. - Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down. - Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus & NOR flash, its second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image. - Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of duplicate or unused code. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIsEABYIADMWIQRgLjeFAZEXQzy86/s+p5+stXUA3QUCW3G6JxUccGF1bC5idXJ0 b25AbWlwcy5jb20ACgkQPqefrLV1AN0n/gD/Rpdgay31G/4eTTKBmBrcaju6Shjt /2Iu6WC5Sj4hDHUBAJSbuI+B9YjcNsjekBYxB/LLD7ImcLBl6nLMIvKmXLAL =cUiF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mips_4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux Pull MIPS updates from Paul Burton: "Here are the main MIPS changes for 4.19.
