I made some changes and tried to build with the following command: make 32r6el_defconfig; make I got the follower error: arch/mips/kernel/smp-cps.c: In function ‘setup_cps_vecs’: arch/mips/kernel/smp-cps.c:162:19: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast] The issue comes from the TO_UNCAC macro that use the TO_PHYS_MASK macro which is 64 bits, so it turn the size of TO_UNCAC() to 8 bytes while the size of a pointer is 4 bytes. Actually it show that TO_UNCAC was created to be only used for 64 bits, and it was only your patch "MIPS: spaces: Define a couple of handy macros" that made possible to use in 32 bit case. Did you mange to build a kernel in 32 bits configuration ? Maybe you had a local patch that made it possible. I propose the following fix to squash into the patch "MIPS: spaces: Define a couple of handy macros" , what do you think of it? diff --git a/arch/mips/include/asm/mach-generic/spaces.h b/arch/mips/include/asm/mach-generic/spaces.h index 05db19521e817..4884199d8b8c4 100644 --- a/arch/mips/include/asm/mach-generic/spaces.h +++ b/arch/mips/include/asm/mach-generic/spaces.h @@ -49,6 +49,9 @@ #define HIGHMEM_START _AC(0x20000000, UL) #endif +#define TO_UNCAC(x) CKSEG1ADDR(x) +#define TO_CAC(x) CKSEG0ADDR(x) + #endif /* CONFIG_32BIT */ #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT @@ -78,12 +81,12 @@ #define HIGHMEM_START (_AC(1, UL) << _AC(59, UL)) #endif +#define TO_UNCAC(x) (UNCAC_BASE | ((x) & TO_PHYS_MASK)) +#define TO_CAC(x) (CAC_BASE | ((x) & TO_PHYS_MASK)) #define TO_PHYS(x) ( ((x) & TO_PHYS_MASK)) #endif /* CONFIG_64BIT */ -#define TO_CAC(x) (CAC_BASE | ((x) & TO_PHYS_MASK)) -#define TO_UNCAC(x) (UNCAC_BASE | ((x) & TO_PHYS_MASK)) /* * This handles the memory map.
