MIPS: Tell R4k SC and MC variations apart

2013-10-29T20:24:48+00:00

There is no reliable way to tell R4000/R4400 SC and MC variations apart,
however simple heuristic should give good results.  Only the MC version
supports coherent caching so we can rely on such a mode having been set
for KSEG0 by the power-on firmware to reliably indicate an MC processor.
SC processors reportedly hang on coherent cached memory accesses and Linux
is linked to a cached load address so the firmware has to use the correct
caching mode to download the kernel image in a cached mode successfully.

OTOH if the firmware chooses to use either the non-coherent cached or the
uncached mode for KSEG0 on an MC processor, then the SC variant will be
reported, just as we currently do, so no regression here.

MIPS: Disable usermode switching of the FR bit for MIPS R5 CPUs.

2013-09-19T09:23:10+00:00

Currently the kernel will always use the FR=0 register model for O32.  If
an O32 application did enable FR=1 mode, some data from another application
might be leaked in the extra registers becoming visible.

Iow, this patch is meant to make the kernel MIPS R5 tolerant but leaves
proper MIPS R5 support to a future patchset.

MIPS: Cleanup CP0 PRId and CP1 FPIR register access masks

2013-09-18T18:25:19+00:00

Replace hardcoded CP0 PRId and CP1 FPIR register access masks throughout.
The change does not touch places that use shifted or partial masks.

MIPS: Optimize current_cpu_type() for better code.

2013-09-17T16:50:53+00:00

 o Move current_cpu_type() to a separate header file
 o #ifdefing on supported CPU types lets modern GCC know that certain
   code in callers may be discarded ideally turning current_cpu_type() into
   a function returning a constant.
 o Use current_cpu_type() rather than direct access to struct cpuinfo_mips.

MIPS: Netlogic: Add support for XLP2XX

2013-09-03T21:22:19+00:00

XLP2XX is first in the series of 28nm XLPII processors.

The changes are to:
* Add processor ID for XLP2XX to asm/cpu.h and kernel/cpu-probe.c.
* Add a cpu_is_xlpii() function to check for XLPII processors.
* Update xlp_mmu_init() to use config4 to enable extended TLB.

MIPS: Delete cpuinit/CPUINIT usage from MIPS code

2013-07-14T23:36:51+00:00

commit 3747069b25e419f6b51395f48127e9812abc3596 upstream.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

Here, we remove all the MIPS __cpuinit from C code and __CPUINIT
from asm files.  MIPS is interesting in this respect, because there
are also uasm users hiding behind their own renamed versions of the
__cpuinit macros.

MIPS: microMIPS: Fix improper definition of ISA exception bit.

2013-07-01T13:10:58+00:00

The ISA exception bit selects whether exceptions are taken in classic
or microMIPS mode. This bit is Config3.ISAOnExc and was improperly
defined as bits 16 and 17 instead of just bit 16. A new function was
added so that platforms could set this bit when running a kernel
compiled with only microMIPS instructions.

MIPS: Get rid of MIPS I flag and test macros.

2013-07-01T13:10:56+00:00

MIPS I is the ancestor of all MIPS ISA and architecture variants.  Anything
ever build in the MIPS empire is either MIPS I or at least contains MIPS I.
If it's running Linux, that is.

So there is little point in having cpu_has_mips_1 because it will always
evaluate as true - though usually only at runtime.  Thus there is no
point in having the MIPS_CPU_ISA_I ISA flag, so get rid of it.

Little complication: traps.c was using a test for a pure MIPS I ISA as
a test for an R3000-style cp0.  To deal with that, use a check for
cpu_has_3kex or cpu_has_4kex instead.

cpu_has_3kex is a new macro.  At the moment its default implementation is
!cpu_has_4kex but this may eventually change if Linux is ever going to
support the oddball MIPS processors R6000 and R8000 so users of either
of these macros should not make any assumptions.
