The previous NR_CPUS=2 default is not an optimal default for current
Malta setups where it is common to have more than 2 CPUs available. It
makes sense to increase this to a number which covers all common setups
currently in use, such that all of those cores are usable. 8 seems to
fit that description.
If the user has less than 8 CPUs & they wish to have a more optimal
kernel they can simply reduce this in their config. It makes sense for
the default to work on as many systems as possible.

For Malta defconfigs which may run on an SMP configuration without
hardware cache anti-aliasing, a 16KB page size is a safer default.
Most notably at the moment it will avoid cache aliasing issues for

This patch simply regenerates the malta defconfigs such that they don't
change after being used & saved as a defconfig again. ie. it is the
result of running the following:
for cfg in arch/mips/configs/malta*; do
ARCH=mips make `basename ${cfg}`
ARCH=mips make savedefconfig
mv -v defconfig ${cfg}
done

Use a Malta specific function to free the init section once the

PHYS_OFFSET is used to denote the physical start address of the

The 'ememsize' variable is used to denote the real RAM which is

The Malta board aliases 0x80000000 - 0xffffffff to 0x00000000
- 0x7fffffff ignoring the 256 MB IO hole in 0x10000000.
The physical memory is shifted to 0x80000000 so up to 2GB
can be used. Kuseg is expanded to 3GB (due to board limitations
only 2GB can be accessed) and lowmem (kernel space) is expanded to 2GB.
The Segment Control registers are programmed as follows:
Virtual memory Physical memory Mapping
0x00000000 - 0x7fffffff 0x80000000 - 0xfffffffff MUSUK (kuseg)
0x80000000 - 0x9fffffff 0x00000000 - 0x1ffffffff MUSUK (kseg0)
0xa0000000 - 0xbf000000 0x00000000 - 0x1ffffffff MUSUK (kseg1)
0xc0000000 - 0xdfffffff - MK (kseg2)
0xe0000000 - 0xffffffff - MK (kseg3)
The location of exception vectors remain the same since 0xbfc00000
(traditional exception base) still maps to 0x1fc00000 physical.

There is a chance for the secondary cache to have memory
aliases. This can happen if the bootloader is in a non-EVA mode
(or even in EVA mode but with different mapping from the kernel)
and the kernel switching to EVA afterwards. It's best to flush
the icache to avoid having the secondary CPUs fetching stale

In preparation for EVA support, we use a macro to build the

therefore using a macro avoids unnecessary code duplications.

Each load/store macro always adds an entry to the __ex_table
using the EXC macro. There are cases where a load instruction may
never fail such as when we are sure the load happens in the kernel
address space. Therefore, we merge these the EXC and LOADX/STOREX
macros into a single one. We also expand the argument list in the EXC
macro to make the macro more flexible. The extra 'type' argument is not
used by this commit, but it will be used when EVA support is added to
memcpy.

The 'copy_user' symbol can be used to copy from or to

The old function has also been renamed to 'copy_kernel' to denote
that it is suitable for copy data to and from kernel space.
