1e2791448bThere are some generic drivers in the kernel, which make use of the
q-accessors or their derivatives. While at current asm/io.h the accessors
are defined, their implementation is only applicable either for 64bit
systems, or for systems with cpu_has_64bits flag set. Obviously there
are MIPS systems which are neither of these, but still need to have
those drivers supported. In this case the solution is to define some
generic versions of the q-accessors, but with a limitation to be
non-atomic. Such accessors are defined in the
io-64-nonatomic-{hi-lo,lo-hi}.h file. The drivers which utilize the
q-suffixed IO-methods are supposed to include the header file, so
in case if these accessors aren't defined for the platform, the generic
non-atomic versions are utilized. Currently the MIPS-specific asm/io.h
file provides the q-accessors for any MIPS system even for ones, which
in fact don't support them and raise BUG() in case if any of them is
called. Due to this the generic versions of the accessors are never
used while an attempt to call the IO-methods causes the kernel BUG().
In order to fix this we need to define the q-accessors only for
the MIPS systems, which actually support them, and don't define them
otherwise, so to let the corresponding drivers to use the non-atomic
q-suffixed accessors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
