Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The possible reason is the cache aliases problem:

Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger
then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem.
To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing.  The 2nd possible
solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for
extra cache flushes.  So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is
solved.

If __xchg() is not getting inlined the outline version of the function
will have a reference to __xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() which does not
exist remaining.  Fixed by using BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for allowable

Some Debian users have reported that the kernel hangs early during boot on
some IP22 systems.  Thomas Bogendoerfer found that this is due to a "bad
interaction between CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and overwritten prom memory during
early boot".  Since there's no fix yet, disable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK for now.

In 2.6.23 kernel, commit a32ea1e1
("Fix read/truncate race") fixed a race in the generic code, and as a
side effect, now do_generic_file_read() can ask us to readpage() past
the i_size. This seems to be correctly handled by the block routines
(e.g. block_read_full_page() fills the page with zeroes in case if
somebody is trying to read past the last inode's block).

JFFS2 doesn't handle this; it assumes that it won't be asked to read
pages which don't exist -- and thus that there will be at least _one_
valid 'frag' on the page it's being asked to read. It will fill any
holes with the following memset:

  memset(buf, 0, min(end, frag->ofs + frag->size) - offset);

When the 'closest smaller match' returned by jffs2_lookup_node_frag() is
actually on a previous page and ends before 'offset', that results in:

  memset(buf, 0, <huge unsigned negative>);

Hopefully, in most cases the corruption is fatal, and quickly causing
random oopses, like this:

This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes all LTP tests on NAND/UBI with
JFFS2 filesystem that were failing since 2.6.23 (seems like the bug
above also broke the truncation).

  Author: Ron Rindjunsky <ron.rindjunsky@intel.com>
  Date:   Mon Jan 28 14:07:22 2008 +0200

      mac80211: A-MPDU Tx add delBA from recipient support

The first problem is that I moved a BUG_ON before various
checks -- thereby making it possible to hit. As the comment
indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since the ampdu_action
callback must already exist when the state is != IDLE.

The second problem isn't easily exploitable but there's a
race condition due to unconditionally setting the state to
OPERATIONAL when a delBA frame is received, even when no
aggregation session was ever initiated. All the drivers
accept stopping the session even then, but that opens a
race window where crashes could happen before the driver
accepts it. Right now, a WARN_ON may happen with non-HT
drivers, while the race opens only for HT drivers.

For this case, there are two things necessary to fix it:
 1) don't process spurious delBA frames, and be more careful
    about the session state; don't drop the lock

 2) HT drivers need to be prepared to handle a session stop
    even before the session was really started -- this is
    true for all drivers (that support aggregation) but
    iwlwifi which can be fixed easily. The other HT drivers
    (ath9k and ar9170) are behaving properly already.

As the comment indicates, the BUG_ON can be removed since

A similar code path leads to a WARN_ON in
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_session, which can also be removed.
