From 058effe7fdc5776b017356f690976a857eea473f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Burton Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 15:17:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: Fix detection of unsupported highmem with cache aliases The paging_init() function contains code which detects that highmem is in use but unsupported due to dcache aliasing. However this code was ineffective because it was being run before the caches are probed, meaning that cpu_has_dc_aliases would always evaluate to false (unless a platform overrides it to a compile-time constant) and the detection of the unsupported case is never triggered. The kernel would then go on to attempt to use highmem & either hit coherency issues or trigger the BUG_ON in flush_kernel_dcache_page(). Fix this by running paging_init() later than cpu_cache_init(), such that the cpu_has_dc_aliases macro will evaluate correctly & the unsupported highmem case will be detected successfully. This then leads to a formerly hidden issue in that mem_init_free_highmem() will attempt to free all highmem pages, even though we're avoiding use of them & don't have valid page structs for them. This leads to an invalid pointer dereference & a TLB exception. Avoid this by skipping the loop in mem_init_free_highmem() if cpu_has_dc_aliases evaluates true.
