Merge tag 'mips_fixes_4.19_1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux
Pull MIPS fix from Paul Burton: "A single fix for v4.19-rc3, resolving a problem with our VDSO data page for systems with dcache aliasing. Those systems could previously observe stale data, causing clock_gettime() & gettimeofday() to return incorrect values" * tag 'mips_fixes_4.19_1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux: MIPS: VDSO: Match data page cache colouring when D$ aliases
