MIPS: cpu-probe: Set the FTLB probability bit on supported cores

2014-11-24T06:44:05+00:00

Make use of the Config6/FLTBP bit to set the probability of a TLBWR
instruction to hit the FTLB or the VTLB. A value of 0 (which may be
the default value on certain cores, such as proAptiv or P5600)
means that a TLBWR instruction will never hit the VTLB which
leads to performance limitations since it effectively decreases
the number of available TLB slots.

MIPS: r4kcache: Add EVA case for protected_writeback_dcache_line

2014-11-24T06:44:04+00:00

Commit de8974e3f76c0 ("MIPS: asm: r4kcache: Add EVA cache flushing
functions") added cache function for EVA using the cachee instruction.
However, it didn't add a case for the protected_writeback_dcache_line.
mips_dsemul() calls r4k_flush_cache_sigtramp() which in turn uses
the protected_writeback_dcache_line() to flush the trampoline code
back to memory. This used the wrong "cache" instruction leading to
random userland crashes on non-FPU cores.

MIPS: jump_label.c: Handle the microMIPS J instruction encoding

2014-11-19T17:22:09+00:00

Implement the microMIPS encoding of the J instruction for the purpose of
the static keys feature, fixing a crash early on in bootstrap as the
kernel is unhappy seeing the ISA bit set in jump table entries.  Make
sure the ISA bit correctly reflects the instruction encoding chosen for
the kernel, 0 for the standard MIPS and 1 for the microMIPS encoding.

Also make sure the instruction to patch is a 32-bit NOP in the microMIPS
mode as by default the 16-bit short encoding is assumed

MIPS: asm: uaccess: Add v1 register to clobber list on EVA

2014-11-19T17:22:08+00:00

When EVA is turned on and prefetching is being used in memcpy.S,
the v1 register is being used as a helper register to the PREFE
instruction. However, v1 ($3) was not in the clobber list, which
means that the compiler did not preserve it across function calls,
and that could corrupt the value of the register leading to all
sorts of userland crashes. We fix this problem by using the
DADDI_SCRATCH macro to define the clobbered register when
CONFIG_EVA && CONFIG_CPU_HAS_PREFETCH are enabled.

MIPS: Loongson: Set Loongson-3's ISA level to MIPS64R1

2014-11-19T17:22:07+00:00

In CPU manual Loongson-3 is MIPS64R2 compatible, but during tests we
found that its EI/DI instructions have problems. So we just set the ISA
level to MIPS64R1.

MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+

2014-11-07T14:07:36+00:00

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:

{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
  LD      arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
 uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
 arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float

To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS;  but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

MIPS: ftrace: Fix a microMIPS build problem

2014-10-24T00:38:33+00:00

Code before the .fixup section needs to have the .insn directive.
This has no side effects on MIPS32/64 but it affects the way microMIPS
loads the address for the return label.

Fixes the following build problem:
mips-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .fixup+0x4a0: Unsupported jump between
ISA modes; consider recompiling with interlinking enabled.
mips-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value
Makefile:819: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed

The fix is similar to 1658f914ff91c3bf ("MIPS: microMIPS:
Disable LL/SC and fix linker bug.")

MIPS: Prevent compiler warning from cop2_{save,restore}

2014-10-23T17:58:13+00:00

The no-op cases of cop2_save & cop2_restore lead to the following
warnings being emitted during build with recent versions of gcc (tested
using gcc 4.8.3 from the Mentor Sourcery CodeBench 2014.05 toolchain):

  In file included from ./arch/mips/include/asm/switch_to.h:18:0,

Avoid the warning by "using" the value by casting to void.
