mips: compile testing of 2.6.25-rc2

[Adrian Bunk <adrian.bunk@movial.fi>]

I did a compile testing of all mips defconfigs in 2.6.25-rc2.

The results were:


Systems without a defconfig:

CONFIG_BCM47XX
CONFIG_SGI_IP28
CONFIG_SIBYTE_CRHINE
CONFIG_SIBYTE_CARMEL
CONFIG_SIBYTE_CRHONE
CONFIG_SIBYTE_RHONE
CONFIG_SIBYTE_LITTLESUR
CONFIG_SIBYTE_SENTOSA

Can people using these systems provide defconfig's for them?
A defconfig is nothing special, it's enough to simply put the .config 
used for one machine into arch/mips/configs/ .


Patches sent for 2.6.25-rc2 regressions:

bigsur_defconfig [1]
rm200_defconfig [2]


Bug reports sent for 2.6.25-rc2 regressions:

cobalt_defconfig [3.4]
db1200_defconfig [5]
db1550_defconfig [5]
pb1550_defconfig [5]
yosemite_defconfig [6]
CONFIG_BCM47XX [7]


Broken before 2.6.24:

decstation_defconfig
  CC      arch/mips/dec/time.o
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/mips/dec/time.c: In function 
'plat_time_init':
/home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/arch/mips/dec/time.c:164: error: 
'mips_timer_ack' undeclared (first use in this function)

msp71xx_defconfig
  CC      arch/mips/pmc-sierra/msp71xx/msp_setup.o
arch/mips/pmc-sierra/msp71xx/msp_setup.c:24:22: error: msp_gpio.h: No such file 
or directory


Missing support in upstream gcc:

sb1250-swarm_defconfig
  CC [M]  fs/configfs/inode.o
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-msb1-pass1-workarounds"

CONFIG_SGI_IP28
  CALL    /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.6/git/linux-2.6/scripts/checksyscalls.sh
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-mr10k-cache-barrier=1"

I tried with a plain gcc 4.2.3, and grep'ed in the gcc SVN head.
I don't know which special gcc versions have these options added, but 
when they are used by the kernel they should also go into upstream gcc.


Patch sent for removal of obsolete defconfig:

qemu_defconfig [8]
