This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled MIPS: CPS: use 32b accesses to GCRs to the 4.2-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-cps-use-32b-accesses-to-gcrs.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 90996511187d6282db6d02d3f97006b4dbb5c457 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2015 15:42:35 -0700 Subject: MIPS: CPS: use 32b accesses to GCRs From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 90996511187d6282db6d02d3f97006b4dbb5c457 upstream. Commit b677bc03d757 ("MIPS: cps-vec: Use macros for various arithmetics and memory operations") replaced various load & store instructions through cps-vec.S with the PTR_L & PTR_S macros. However it was somewhat overzealous in doing so for CM GCR accesses, since the bit width of the CM doesn't necessarily match that of the CPU. The registers accessed (GCR_CL_COHERENCE & GCR_CL_ID) should be safe to simply always access using 32b instructions, so do so in order to avoid issues when using a 32b CM with a 64b CPU.
