Commit 46011e6e ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.") introduced an open-coded version of cmpxchg() within set_pte(), that always operated on a value the size of an unsigned long. That is, it used ll/sc instructions when CONFIG_32BIT=y or lld/scd instructions when CONFIG_64BIT=y. This was broken for configurations in which pte_t is larger than an unsigned long (with the exception of XPA configurations which have a different implementation of set_pte()), because we no longer update the whole PTE. Indeed commit 46011e6e ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.") notes: > The case of CONFIG_64BIT_PHYS_ADDR && CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32 is *not* > handled. In practice this affects Netlogic XLR/XLS systems including nlm_xlr_defconfig. Commit 82f4f66d ("MIPS: Remove open-coded cmpxchg() in set_pte()") then replaced this open-coded version of cmpxchg() with an actual call to cmpxchg(). Unfortunately the configurations mentioned above then fail to build because cmpxchg() can only operate on values 32 bits or smaller in size, resulting in: arch/mips/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:166:11: error: call to '__cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer' declared with attribute error: Bad argument size for cmpxchg One option that would fix the build failure & restore the previous behaviour would be to cast the pte pointer to a pointer to unsigned long, so that cmpxchg() would operate on just 32 bits of the PTE as it has been since commit 46011e6e ("MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe."). That feels like an ugly hack though, and the behaviour of set_pte() is likely a little broken. Instead we take advantage of the fact that the affected configurations already know at compile time that the CPU will support 64 bits (ie. have hardcoded cpu_has_64bits in cpu-feature-overrides.h) in order to allow cmpxchg64() to be used in these configurations. set_pte() then makes use of cmpxchg64() when necessary.
