kernel: fix crashes on MIPS when loading kernel modules under memory pressure

2017-02-15T12:23:58+00:00

When memory is tight, modules may need to be loaded into vmalloc()
space. The code then has to generate jump trampolines which enable
relocations between vmalloc space and physical address space.

The code had a bug that was freeing these trampolines even when the
module was successfully loaded.

kernel: rename bgmac patches to squeeze them

2017-02-05T21:38:26+00:00

This is a pure rename without any changes. It makes maintaining bgmac
simpler and will hopefully make adding new kernel a bit easier.

kernel: ar8327/ar8337: disable ARL access code to avoid lockups (FS#384)

2017-02-01T14:40:19+00:00

Running ar8327_get_arl_entry() early after boot leads to MDIO related system
lockups on several devices using this driver.

Since dumping the ARL table contens is an optional, uncritical feature, simply
disable the code for now.
