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.
