+Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: smp.c: Fix uninitialised temp_foreign_map
+
+When calculate_cpu_foreign_map() recalculates the cpu_foreign_map
+cpumask it uses the local variable temp_foreign_map without initialising
+it to zero. Since the calculation only ever sets bits in this cpumask
+any existing bits at that memory location will remain set and find their
+way into cpu_foreign_map too. This could potentially lead to cache
+operations suboptimally doing smp calls to multiple VPEs in the same
+core, even though the VPEs share primary caches.
+
+Therefore initialise temp_foreign_map using cpumask_clear() before use.
