Directory errors after upgrading a bunch of packages

Hi Everyone,

So I have been catching up upgrading packages from
http://ftp.arm.slackware.com/slackwa...rch64-current/

But now I am unable to see permissions, nor date stamps of any files in the whole entire system.
for example, doing 'cd /' then ' ls -al' produces:
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? media
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? mnt
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? opt
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? proc
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? root
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? run
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sbin
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? srv
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? swap
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sys
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? tmp
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? tmp2
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? usr
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? var

Also, issuing 'ls /root (or any subdirectory name)' produces this message:
ls: cannot access '/root': Function not implemented Using /root as an example.

Doing ls of any specific filename produces this error: for example,
cd /bin
ls bash
ls: cannot access 'bash': Function not implemented

To do any work at all, I have to 'cd' to the subdirectory and then to an ls to at least get the file names to show up.

Should I recompile the kernel or upgrade the kernel from a rockpro64 kernel source.?

I dont know if it matters, but am running kernel 4.4.202

I already rebooted the rockpro64 but the issue still present.

Any ideas?

Thanks
