MIPS: SMP: kill redundant call of generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt()

2013-10-29T20:23:45+00:00

Since commit 9a46ad6d6df3b54 "smp: make smp_call_function_many() use
logic similar to smp_call_function_single()",
generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt() is an alias of
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so kill the redundant call.

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.

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2013-05-10T14:48:05+00:00

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:

 - More work on DT support for various platforms

 - Various fixes that were to late to make it straight into 3.9

 - Improved platform support, in particular the Netlogic XLR and
   BCM63xx, and the SEAD3 and Malta eval boards.

 - Support for several Ralink SOC families.

 - Complete support for the microMIPS ASE which basically reencodes the
   existing MIPS32/MIPS64 ISA to use non-constant size instructions.

 - Some fallout from LTO work which remove old cruft and will generally
   make the MIPS kernel easier to maintain and resistant to compiler
   optimization, even in absence of LTO.

 - KVM support.  While MIPS has announced hardware virtualization
   extensions this KVM extension uses trap and emulate mode for
   virtualization of MIPS32.  More KVM work to add support for VZ
   hardware virtualizaiton extensions and MIPS64 will probably already
   be merged for 3.11.

Most of this has been sitting in -next for a long time.  All defconfigs
have been build or run time tested except three for which fixes are being
sent by other maintainers.

MIPS: drivers: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:09+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

MIPS: Synchronize MIPS count one CPU at a time

2012-08-17T08:57:28+00:00

The current implementation of synchronise_count_{master,slave} blocks
slave CPUs in early boot until all of them come up. This no longer
works because blocking a CPU with interrupts off after notifying the
CPU to be online causes problems with the current kernel.

Specifically, after the workqueue changes
(commit a08489c569dc1 "Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo")
the CPU_ONLINE notification callback workqueue_cpu_up_callback()
will hang on wait_for_completion(&idle_rebind.done), if the slave
CPUs are blocked for synchronize_count_slave().

The changes are to update synchronize_count_{master,slave}() to handle
one CPU at a time and to call synchronise_count_master() in __cpu_up()
so that the CPU_ONLINE notification goes out only after the COP0 COUNT
register is synchronized.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: This matter only to those few platforms which are
using the cp0 counter as their clocksource which are XLP, XLR and MIPS'
CMP solution.]
