Since Ralf appears to be unavailable at the moment I've reviewed and applied some of those patches which are least controversial to a fixes branch with the intention of sending a pull request to Ralf & Linus so that one of them can hopefully merge it before the release. Please could the following branch be added to linux-next: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jhogan/mips.git branch: mips-fixes Details of fixes below. Thanks James The current shortlog looks like this: Aaro Koskinen (1): MIPS: OCTEON: make get_system_type() thread-safe Markos Chandras (5): MIPS: syscall: Fix AUDIT value for O32 processes on MIPS64 MIPS: scall64-o32: Fix indirect syscall detection MIPS: EVA: Add new EVA header MIPS: Malta: EVA: Rename 'eva_entry' to 'platform_eva_init' MIPS: CPS: Initialize EVA before bringing up VPEs from secondary cores Paul Burton (1): MIPS: prevent user from setting FCSR cause bits Rob Kendrick (1): MIPS: math-emu: cp1emu: Fix typo when returning to register file If I've missed any other critical fixes for v3.16 please let me know. I haven't included the patches below, even though they are important, as I'm less sure about them. Comments welcome. This one fixes mips32 debian boot, but changes the layout of the NT_PRSTATUS regset which is accessible through ptrace. I don't believe this will break anything, but there are other patches pending in the patchset to fix up the regset stuff properly anyway (as it is already broken for core dumps) and I don't really want to take the risk without Ralf's okay. Alex Smith (1): MIPS: O32/32-bit: Fix bug which can cause incorrect system call restarts This one I'm not confident about, hasn't had any comments on the list, and has been broken for quite a while anyway, so I haven't risked it. Huacai Chen (1): MIPS: tlbex: fix a missing statement for HUGETLB
