Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus
Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle: "Another round of MIPS fixes for 4.2. No area does particularly stand out but we have a two unpleasant ones: - Kernel ptes are marked with a global bit which allows the kernel to share kernel TLB entries between all processes. For this to work both entries of an adjacent even/odd pte pair need to have the global bit set. There has been a subtle race in setting the other entry's global bit since ~ 2000 but it take particularly pathological workloads that essentially do mostly vmalloc/vfree to trigger this. This pull request fixes the 64-bit case but leaves the case of 32 bit CPUs with 64 bit ptes unsolved for now. The unfixed cases affect hardware that is not available in the field yet. - Instruction emulation requires loading instructions from user space but the current fast but simplistic approach will fail on pages that are PROT_EXEC but !PROT_READ. For this reason we temporarily do not permit this permission and will map pages with PROT_EXEC | PROT_READ. The remainder of this pull request is more or less across the field and the short log explains them well" * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: MIPS: Make set_pte() SMP safe.
