<title>MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test.</title>

This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks.  The main reason I
wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous
patch.

To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run
time do:

# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi

On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get

		spin_single	spin_multi
base		106885		247941
spinlock_patch	75194		219465

This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41%
improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).

This patch adds a new DEBUG_ZBOOT option to allow the users to enable it
to debug the compressed kernel support for a new board and this optoin
should be disabled to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the
kernel booting procedure when the compressed kernel support is stable.

<title>MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command line</title>

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware.  Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.

This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86.  The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.

[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]

The header path in the help text for the RUNTIME_DEBUG config option is
obsolete and needs to be updated to match the new location of
architecture-specific header files. While at it, fix the spelling mistake.

This patch explicitly removes the kgdb implementation, for mips which
is intended to be followed by a patch that adds a kgdb implementation
for MIPS that makes use of the kgdb core in the kernel.
