A while ago we faced a build issue for MIPS architecture (see attached config) and someone (forgot who) provided reference to following patch which fixed the issue so I applied it in our repo. commit cd532e6356425fef41f25c31411867cf80d7541b Author: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun May 3 10:36:19 2015 +0100 MIPS: pgtable-bits.h: Correct _PAGE_GLOBAL_SHIFT build failure Correct a build failure introduced by be0c37c9 [MIPS: Rearrange PTE bits into fixed positions.]: With a merge of 4.2-rc4 those changes were lost and the build issue was back. Is there any chance the patch will be posted upstream in some form. For now I reapplied the patch, but would like to get rid of that type of maintenance.
Ping? Any reaction from mips community? My knowledge about MIPS architecture is next to nil so try to avoid fiddling with it myself.
