ring-buffer: Flush and stop persistent ring buffer on panic

2026-06-01T15:54:24+00:00

commit a494d3c8d5392bcdff83c2a593df0c160ff9f322 upstream. On real hardware, panic and machine reboot may not flush hardware cache to memory. This means the persistent ring buffer, which relies on a coherent state of memory, may not have its events written to the buffer and they may be lost. Moreover, there may be inconsistency with the counters which are used for validation of the integrity of the persistent ring buffer which may cause all data to be discarded. To avoid this issue, stop recording of the ring buffer on panic and flush the cache of the ring buffer's memory.

MIPS: mm: Rewrite TLB uniquification for the hidden bit feature

2026-04-01T19:54:15+00:00

Before the introduction of the EHINV feature, which lets software mark TLB entries invalid, certain older implementations of the MIPS ISA were equipped with an analogous bit, as a vendor extension, which however is hidden from software and only ever set at reset, and then any software write clears it, making the intended TLB entry valid. This feature makes it unsafe to read a TLB entry with TLBR, modify the page mask, and write the entry back with TLBWI, because this operation will implicitly clear the hidden bit and this may create a duplicate entry, as with the presence of the hidden bit there is no guarantee all the entries across the TLB are unique each. Usually the firmware has already uniquified TLB entries before handing control over, in which case we only need to guarantee at bootstrap no clash will happen with the VPN2 values chosen in local_flush_tlb_all(). However with systems such as Mikrotik RB532 we get handed the TLB as at reset, with the hidden bit set across the entries and possibly duplicate entries present. This then causes a machine check exception when page sizes are reset in r4k_tlb_uniquify() and prevents the system from booting. Rewrite the algorithm used in r4k_tlb_uniquify() then such as to avoid the reuse of ASID/VPN values across the TLB. Get rid of global entries first as they may be blocking the entire address space, e.g. 16 256MiB pages will exhaust the whole address space of a 32-bit CPU and a single big page can exhaust the 32-bit compatibility space on a 64-bit CPU. Details of the algorithm chosen are given across the code itself. Fixes: 9f048fa48740 ("MIPS: mm: Prevent a TLB shutdown on initial uniquification") Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

MIPS: mm: Suppress TLB uniquification on EHINV hardware

2026-04-01T19:54:10+00:00

Hardware that supports the EHINV feature, mandatory for R6 ISA and FTLB implementation, lets software mark TLB entries invalid, which eliminates the need to ensure no duplicate matching entries are ever created. This feature is already used by local_flush_tlb_all(), via the UNIQUE_ENTRYHI macro, making the preceding call to r4k_tlb_uniquify() superfluous. The next change will also modify uniquification code such that it'll become incompatible with the FTLB and MMID features, as well as MIPSr6 CPUs that do not implement 4KiB pages. Therefore prevent r4k_tlb_uniquify() from being used on EHINV hardware, as denoted by `cpu_has_tlbinv'. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

MIPS: Always record SEGBITS in cpu_data.vmbits

2026-04-01T19:53:50+00:00

With a 32-bit kernel running on 64-bit MIPS hardware the hardcoded value of `cpu_vmbits' only records the size of compatibility useg and does not reflect the size of native xuseg or the complete range of values allowed in the VPN2 field of TLB entries. An upcoming change will need the actual VPN2 value range permitted even in 32-bit kernel configurations, so always include the `vmbits' member in `struct cpuinfo_mips' and probe for SEGBITS when running on 64-bit hardware and resorting to the currently hardcoded value of 31 on 32-bit processors. No functional change for users of `cpu_vmbits'. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer

MIPS: Fix the GCC version check for `__multi3' workaround

2026-04-01T19:53:18+00:00

It was only GCC 10 that fixed a MIPS64r6 code generation issue with a `__multi3' libcall inefficiently produced to perform 64-bit widening multiplication while suitable machine instructions exist to do such a calculation. The fix went in with GCC commit 48b2123f6336 ("re PR target/82981 (unnecessary __multi3 call for mips64r6 linux kernel)"). Adjust our code accordingly, removing build failures such as: mips64-linux-ld: lib/math/div64.o: in function `mul_u64_add_u64_div_u64': div64.c:(.text+0x84): undefined reference to `__multi3' with the GCC versions affected.
