Looks like this particular build configuration has problems: CC arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.o In file included from ./arch/mips/include/asm/io.h:27:0, from include/linux/io.h:22, from ./arch/mips/include/asm/mips-cm.h:14, from ./arch/mips/include/asm/smp-ops.h:16, from ./arch/mips/include/asm/smp.h:21, from include/linux/smp.h:59, from ./arch/mips/include/asm/cpu-type.h:12, from ./arch/mips/include/asm/timex.h:19, from include/linux/timex.h:65, from include/linux/sched.h:19, from include/linux/ptrace.h:5, from arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.c:16: ./arch/mips/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h:164:0: error: "_PAGE_GLOBAL_SHIFT" redefined [-Werror] #define _PAGE_GLOBAL_SHIFT (_PAGE_MODIFIED_SHIFT + 1) ^ ./arch/mips/include/asm/pgtable-bits.h:141:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition #define _PAGE_GLOBAL_SHIFT (_PAGE_SPLITTING_SHIFT + 1) ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors scripts/Makefile.build:258: recipe for target 'arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.o' failed make[2]: *** [arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.o] Error 1 scripts/Makefile.build:403: recipe for target 'arch/mips/kernel' failed make[1]: *** [arch/mips/kernel] Error 2 Makefile:946: recipe for target 'arch/mips' failed make: *** [arch/mips] Error 2 Caused by these two blocks: #if defined(CONFIG_64BIT) && defined(CONFIG_MIPS_HUGE_TLB_SUPPORT) /* Huge TLB page */ #define _PAGE_HUGE_SHIFT (_PAGE_MODIFIED_SHIFT + 1) #define _PAGE_HUGE (1 << _PAGE_HUGE_SHIFT) #define _PAGE_SPLITTING_SHIFT (_PAGE_HUGE_SHIFT + 1) #define _PAGE_SPLITTING (1 << _PAGE_SPLITTING_SHIFT) /* Only R2 or newer cores have the XI bit */ #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2 #define _PAGE_NO_EXEC_SHIFT (_PAGE_SPLITTING_SHIFT + 1) #else -> #define _PAGE_GLOBAL_SHIFT (_PAGE_SPLITTING_SHIFT + 1) #define _PAGE_GLOBAL (1 << _PAGE_GLOBAL_SHIFT) #endif /* CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2 */ #endif /* CONFIG_64BIT && CONFIG_MIPS_HUGE_TLB_SUPPORT */ And ... #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2 /* XI - page cannot be executed */ #ifndef _PAGE_NO_EXEC_SHIFT #define _PAGE_NO_EXEC_SHIFT (_PAGE_MODIFIED_SHIFT + 1) #endif #define _PAGE_NO_EXEC (cpu_has_rixi ?
