Just recently I've rebased my MIPS32-related work from kernel 6.5-rc4 onto the latest kernel 6.7-rc1 and immediately got into a bootup-time mm-related bug (see patches 3-5 in this series). After fixing it I decided it was time to submit for review the generic MIPS code fixes which I have been collecting in my local repo for the last year. I was going to submit them a bit later after I finished working on a patchset with my SoC arch-specific changes, but since it was getting bigger and bigger, it turned to be reasonable to spill out the generic part of series right away especially seeing it might get to be useful in the most recent kernel. So this series starts with the MIPS-specific dmi_early_remap() implementation fix. It is utilized by the DMI driver in the framework of the dmi_setup() method, which is called at the very early boot stage - in setup_arch((). No VM available at that stage which is required for the ioremap_cache() to properly work. Thus it was a mistake to have the dmi_early_remap() macro-function defined as ioremap_cache(). It should have been ioremap_uc() in first place. After that goes a fix for the high-memory zone PFNs calculation procedure on MIPS. It turned out that after some not that recent commit the IO-memory PFNs got to the high-memory even though they were directly reachable, thus should have been left in the normal zone. Then a series of fixes for the recently discovered mm-bug is presented. Any attempt to re-map the IO-memory with the cached attribute caused the bootup procedure to crash with the "Unhandled kernel unaligned access" message. After some digging I found out that the problem was in the uninitialized IO-memory pages. Please see the patch "mips: Fix max_mapnr being uninitialized on early stages" description for the detailed explanation of the problem and suggested fix. Afterwards I submitted several cleanup patches for the MIPS/mm and generic mm code. The patchset is closed with a small improvement which sets the MIPS board/machine name to the dump-stack module in order to print arch-personalized oopses in the same way as it's done on ARM, ARM64, RISC-V, etc. That's it for today.) Thanks for review in advance. Any tests are very welcome.
