Hi Justin, The 32-bit qemu mips runtime tests for -next at kerneltests.org are crashing for non-SMP builds as follows. cacheinfo: Failed to find cpu0 device node cacheinfo: Unable to detect cache hierarchy for CPU 0 CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000004, epc == 8013c6a8, ra == 8013cb54 Oops[#1]: CPU: 0 PID: 5 Comm: kworker/u2:0 Not tainted 4.10.0-rc7-next-20170208 #1 Workqueue: events_unbound call_usermodehelper_exec_work task: 8704a420 task.stack: 87068000 $ 0 : 00000000 80770000 873a8204 8700c214 $ 4 : 00000000 873a8200 00000000 ffff00fe $ 8 : 8706bfe0 0000a400 fffffffc 8704a459 $12 : 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000720 $16 : 873a8200 87045880 00000000 8700c200 $20 : 87014000 87014005 8700c200 8700c200 $24 : 00000000 8014d1e8 $28 : 87068000 8706be70 87045880 8013cb54 Hi : 00077698 Lo : ab801af8 epc : 8013c6a8 process_one_work+0xd4/0x408 ra : 8013cb54 worker_thread+0x178/0x598 Status: 1000a402 KERNEL EXL Cause : 0080000c (ExcCode 03) BadVA : 00000004 PrId : 00019300 (MIPS 24Kc) Modules linked in: Process kworker/u2:0 (pid: 5, threadinfo=87068000, task=8704a420, tls=00000000) Stack : 80700000 8700c214 00000088 80700000 8700c200 8700c200 8700c200 87045898 80700000 8700c214 00000088 80700000 8700c200 8013cb54 8013c9dc 8704fe00 87045600 87045700 80700000 80700000 80700000 80676560 87045600 87045700 87045618 87045880 8013c9dc 8704fe00 80670000 80760000 806e0000 80142958 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 80142850 80142850 87045700 8704b380 ...

Reverting this patch fixes te problem. Configuration is pretty much malta_defconfig with SMP disabled. I can provide more details if needed.
