MIPS fixes for 3.16
Hi Greg,
Could you please apply the following patches to the 3.16.X stable kernels?
- MIPS: EVA: Add new EVA header (f85b71ceabb9d8d8a9e34b045b5c43ffde3623b3)
- MIPS: Malta: EVA: Rename 'eva_entry' to 'platform_eva_init' (ca4d24f7954f3746742ba350c2276ff777f21173)
- MIPS: CPS: Initialize EVA before bringing up VPEs from secondary cores (6521d9a436a62e83ce57d6be6e5484e1098c1380)
- MIPS: scall64-o32: Fix indirect syscall detection (5245689900804604fdc349c8d9b8985b0e401ae2)
- MIPS: syscall: Fix AUDIT value for O32 processes on MIPS64 (40381529f84c4cda3bd2d20cab6a707508856b21)
- MIPS: Malta: Improve system memory detection for '{e, }memsize' >= 2G (64615682658373516863b5b5971ff1d922d0ae7b)
Thank you!

That really looks like a new feature, how is this a bugfix / regression from previous kernel releases?
thanks,

Hi Greg,
The bugfix is the 3rd patch in that list. Without this patch, it is not possible to boot a CPS kernel when EVA is enabled. The kernel will die in a horrible way. The other two patches simply make the bugfix fit better in the existing code. So all three are needed.
Thank you

Hi Greg,
Are you happy with the above explanation? If so, could you please consider including these patches to the 3.16 stable kernels?

My pending patch queue for 3.16-stable is now over 300 patches long, I'll get to these again when it comes up in my queue something next week and let you know...
thanks,
