MIPS: Support CPU topology files in sysfs

2014-07-30T19:45:39+00:00

This patch is prepared for Loongson's NUMA support, it offer meaningful
sysfs files such as physical_package_id, core_id, core_siblings and
thread_siblings in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/topology.

MIPS: SMP: Remove plat_smp_ops cpus_done method.

2014-05-27T09:06:42+00:00

Nothing was using the method and there isn't any need for this hook.  This
leaves smp_cpus_done() empty for the moment.

As suggested by Paul Bolle .

MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC support

2014-05-23T22:07:01+00:00

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell  is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.

Based on Markos Chandras  patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

MIPS: introduce cpu_coherent_mask

2014-05-02T15:39:13+00:00

Add a mask of CPUs which are currently known to be operating coherently.
This is setup initially to be all present CPUs, but in a subsequent
patch CPUs in a MIPS Coherent Processing System will be cleared in this
mask as they enter non-coherent idle states. This will be used in order
to determine when a CPU within a CPS system may need to be powered back
up, but may also be used in future to optimise away wakeups for cache
operations or TLB invalidations.

MIPS: support for generic clockevents broadcast

2014-05-02T15:39:12+00:00

This patch adds support for generic clockevents broadcast using the a
dummy clockevent device and the tick_broadcast function introduced by
commit 12ad10004645 "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function".

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.
