Without this terminator, I saw failures when unwinding from VDSO,

For the normal libs, crtendS.o gives this terminator. We can use

Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for

[MIPS] MT: Fix bug in multithreaded kernels.
When GDB writes a breakpoint into address area of inferior process the
kernel needs to invalidate the modified memory in the inferior which
is done by calling flush_cache_page which in turns calls
r4k_flush_cache_page and local_r4k_flush_cache_page for VSMP or SMTC
kernel via r4k_on_each_cpu().
As the VSMP and SMTC SMP kernels for 34K are running on a single shared
caches it is possible to get away without interprocessor function calls.
This optimization is implemented in r4k_on_each_cpu, so
local_r4k_flush_cache_page is only ever called on the local CPU.
This is where the following code in local_r4k_flush_cache_page() strikes:
/*
* If ownes no valid ASID yet, cannot possibly have gotten
* this page into the cache.
*/
if (cpu_context(smp_processor_id(), mm) == 0)
return;
On VSMP and SMTC had a function of cpu_context() for each CPU(TC).
So in case another CPU than the CPU executing local_r4k_cache_flush_page
has not accessed the mm but one of the other CPUs has there may be data
to be flushed in the cache yet local_r4k_cache_flush_page will falsely
return leaving the I-cache inconsistent for the breakpoint.
While the issue was discovered with GDB it also exists in
local_r4k_flush_cache_range() and local_r4k_flush_cache().
Fixed by introducing a new function has_valid_asid which on MT kernels
returns true if a mm is active on any processor in the system.
This is relativly expensive since for memory acccesses in that loop
cache misses have to be assumed but it seems the most viable solution
for 2.6.23 and older -stable kernels.
Contrary to the belief of some, the R3000 and related processors did have
caches, both a data and an instruction cache. Here is an implementation
of r3k_flush_cache_page(), which is the processor-specific back-end for
flush_cache_range(), done according to the spec in
Documentation/cachetlb.txt.
While at it, remove an unused local function: get_phys_page(), do some
trivial formatting fixes and modernise debugging facilities.

where N is an integer. Using it in combination with the existing options
allows arbitrary assignments across the 2 VPEs of a 34K. e.g. "maxtcs=3
vpe0tcs=1" forces VPE0 to have 1 TC, while VPE1 has 2, and "maxtcs=4
vpe0tcs=3" forces VPE0 to have 3 TCs, while VPE1 gets 1. If no vpe0tcs
option is specified, the traditional algorithm of evenly dividing TCs
between available VPEs, with the odd "slop" going to VPE0, is retained.
The reason for doing this is to allow a finer balancing of TCs which can
handle I/O interrupts on Malta (those on VPE 0) and those which cannot.
