This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: SGI-IP27: always enable NUMA in Kconfig to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: mips-sgi-ip27-always-enable-numa-in-kconfig.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 6c86a3029ce3b44597526909f2e39a77a497f640 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2020 15:51:41 +0300 Subject: MIPS: SGI-IP27: always enable NUMA in Kconfig From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6c86a3029ce3b44597526909f2e39a77a497f640 upstream. When a configuration has NUMA disabled and SGI_IP27 enabled, the build fails: CC kernel/bounds.s CC arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.s In file included from arch/mips/include/asm/topology.h:11, from include/linux/topology.h:36, from include/linux/gfp.h:9, from include/linux/slab.h:15, from include/linux/crypto.h:19, from include/crypto/hash.h:11, from include/linux/uio.h:10, from include/linux/socket.h:8, from include/linux/compat.h:15, from arch/mips/kernel/asm-offsets.c:12: include/linux/topology.h: In function 'numa_node_id': arch/mips/include/asm/mach-ip27/topology.h:16:27: error: implicit declaration of function 'cputonasid'; did you mean 'cpu_vpe_id'?

Without DISCONTIGMEM it is possible to have SPARSEMEM without NUMA for SGI_IP27 and as many things there rely on custom node definition, the build breaks. As Thomas noted "... there are right now too many places in IP27 code, which assumes NUMA enabled", the simplest solution would be to always enable NUMA for SGI-IP27 builds.
