MIPS: Make irqflags.h functions preempt-safe for non-mipsr2 cpus

2012-11-09T09:59:21+00:00

For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to
arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing
so a stale value may be restored to c0_status.  This fix disables
preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it
after the call.

Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to
mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining.

This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours
in a continuous reboot test.  It was traced to the write_lock_irq()
function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c.
By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in
arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we
were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug.  Similarly,
the application of this commit silenced the bug.

MIPS: Remove irqflags.h dependency from bitops.h

2012-11-09T09:59:10+00:00

The "else clause" of most functions in bitops.h invoked
raw_local_irq_{save,restore}() and in doing so had a dependency on
irqflags.h.  This fix moves said code to bitops.c, removing the
dependency.

MIPS: bitops.h: Change use of 'unsigned short' to 'int'

2012-11-09T09:58:50+00:00

[ralf@linux-mips.org: No functional change but it's consistent with how
use types elsewhere in the code.]

MIPS: compat: Implement is_compat_task() by testing for 32-bit address space.

2012-11-09T09:58:29+00:00

So far is_compat_task() was testing for 32-bit registers if O32 support
was enabled and if O32 support was disabled but N32 enabled it was testing
for 32-bit address space.  So if both O32 and N32 were enabled a N32
task was not considered a compat task, whops.

This still leaves potential cases where O32 and N32 need different treatment
unsolved.  But that's another commit.

UAPI: Place comments in empty arch Kbuilds to make them non-empty

2012-10-17T11:31:16+00:00

Place comments in:

	arch/mips/include/asm/Kbuild
	arch/tile/include/arch/Kbuild

to make them non-empty so that the patch program doesn't remove them when it
reduces them to nothing.

Possibly they should be just deleted, but it's possible that they'll acquire
generic-y or genhdr-y lines in future, so I'm keeping them around for the
moment.

Note that MIPS will compile happily if the file is deleted instead.  I haven't
tested TILE, but I suspect it will be the same there.

MIPS: Make __{,n,u}delay declarations match definitions and generic delay.h

2012-10-16T20:20:03+00:00

At some recent point arch/mips/include/asm/delay.h has started being
included into csrc-octeon.c where the __?delay() functions are defined.
This causes a compile failure due to conflicting declarations and
definitions of the functions.

It turns out that the generic definitions in arch/mips/lib/delay.c also
conflict.

Proposed fix: Declare the functions to take unsigned long parameters
just like asm-generic (and x86) does.  Update __delay to agree
(__ndelay and __udelay need no change).

Bonus: Get rid of 'inline' from __delay() definition, as it is globally
visible, and the compiler should be making this decision itself (it does
in fact inline the function without being told to).
