tty: serial: mpc52xx_uart: move static declarations up.grafted
Avoid a compilation error so that they're not used before being declared. Fixes: 4d105880666a ("tty: serial: mpc52xx_uart: add bounds check for psc_num array index") Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202609260356.tJWbd1WU-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev <rosenp@gmail.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260927203501.14105-1-rosenp@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

+================
+/proc/sys/debug/
+================
+
+These files show up in ``/proc/sys/debug/``, depending on the
+kernel configuration:
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+exception-trace
+===============
+
+This flag controls whether the kernel prints information about unhandled
+signals (like segmentation faults) to the kernel log (``dmesg``).
+
+- ``0``: Unhandled signals are not traced.
+- ``1``: Information about unhandled signals is printed.
+
+The default value is ``1`` on most architectures (like x86, MIPS, RISC-V),
+but it is ``0`` on **arm64**.
+
+The actual information printed and the context provided varies
+significantly depending on the CPU architecture. For example:
+
+- On **x86**, it typically prints the instruction pointer (IP), error
+ code, and address that caused a page fault.
+- On **PowerPC**, it may print the next instruction pointer (NIP),
+ link register (LR), and other relevant registers.
+
+When enabled, this feature is often rate-limited to prevent the kernel
+log from being flooded during a crash loop.
+
+kprobes-optimization
+====================
+
+This flag enables or disables the optimization of Kprobes on certain
+architectures (like x86).
+
+- ``0``: Kprobes optimization is turned off.
+- ``1``: Kprobes optimization is turned on (default).
+
+For more details on Kprobes and its optimization, please refer to
+Documentation/trace/kprobes.rst.
