Subject: MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() with EVA

From: James Hogan <[email protected]>

commit 4915e1b043d6286928207b1f6968197b50407294 upstream.

EVA linked loads (LLE) and conditional stores (SCE) should be used on EVA kernels for the MIPS_ATOMIC_SET operation of the sysmips system call, or else the atomic set will apply to the kernel view of the virtual address space (potentially unmapped on EVA kernels) rather than the user view (TLB mapped).
