Merge branch 'parisc-4.9-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux
Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller:
"On parisc we were still seeing occasional random segmentation faults
and memory corruption on SMP machines. Dave Anglin then looked again
at the TLB related code and found two issues in the PCI DMA and
generic TLB flush functions.
Then, in our startup code we had some timing of the cache and TLB
functions to calculate a threshold when to use a complete TLB/cache
flush or just to flush a specific range. This code produced a race
with newly started CPUs and thus lead to occasional kernel crashes
(due to stale TLB/cache entries). The patch by Dave fixes this issue
by flushing the local caches before starting secondary CPUs and by
removing the race.
The last problem fixed by this series is that we quite often suffered
from hung tasks and self-detected stalls on the CPUs. It was somehow
clear that this was related to the (in v4.7) newly introduced cr16
clocksource and the own implementation of sched_clock(). I replaced
the open-coded sched_clock() function and switched to the generic
sched_clock() implementation which seems to have fixed this isse as
well.
All patches have been sucessfully tested on a variety of machines,
including our debian buildd servers.
All patches (beside the small pr_cont fix) are tagged for stable
releases"
