<content type='text'>
With a 32-bit kernel running on 64-bit MIPS hardware the hardcoded value
of `cpu_vmbits' only records the size of compatibility useg and does not
reflect the size of native xuseg or the complete range of values allowed
in the VPN2 field of TLB entries.

An upcoming change will need the actual VPN2 value range permitted even
in 32-bit kernel configurations, so always include the `vmbits' member
in `struct cpuinfo_mips' and probe for SEGBITS when running on 64-bit
hardware and resorting to the currently hardcoded value of 31 on 32-bit
processors.  No functional change for users of `cpu_vmbits'.

<title>MIPS: disable MMID when not supported by the hardware</title>

<content type='text'>
It is possible that MMID is supported at the CPU level, but its
integration in a SoC prevents its usage. For instance, if the
System-level Interconnect (also known as Network on Chip) does not
support global invalidation, then the MMID feature is not usable. The
current implementation of MMID relies on the GINV* instructions.

This patch allows the disabling of MMID based on a device tree
property, as this issue cannot be detected at runtime.

MMID is set up very early during the boot process, even before device
tree data can be accessed. Therefore, when we determine whether MMID
needs to be disabled, some MMID setup has already been performed for
the boot CPU. Consequently, we must revert the MMID setup on the first
CPU before disabling the feature for the subsequent CPUs that will be
initialized later.

Loongson64 C and G processors have EXTIMER feature which
is conflicting with CP0 counter.

Although the processor resets in EXTIMER disabled &amp; INTIMER
enabled mode, which is compatible with MIPS CP0 compare, firmware
may attempt to enable EXTIMER and interfere CP0 compare.

Set timer mode back to MIPS compatible mode to fix booting on
systems with such firmware before we have an actual driver for
EXTIMER.

Commit 7db5e9e9e5e6c10d7d ("MIPS: loongson64: fix FTLB configuration")
move decode_configs() from the beginning of cpu_probe_loongson() to the
end in order to fix FTLB configuration. However, it breaks the CPUCFG
decoding because decode_configs() use "c-&gt;options = xxxx" rather than
"c-&gt;options |= xxxx", all information get from CPUCFG by decode_cpucfg()
is lost.

This causes error when creating a KVM guest on Loongson-3A4000:
Exception Code: 4 not handled @ PC: 0000000087ad5981, inst: 0xcb7a1898 BadVaddr: 0x0 Status: 0x0

Fix this by moving the c-&gt;cputype setting to the beginning and moving
decode_configs() after that.
