<title>[MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workarounds</title>

<id>20d60d9973c3b441902b0a3f4f6f7e7ade08f77d</id>
<content type='text'>
 This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds.  They include 
compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications 
to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift 
instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions.

 Changes included are as follows:

1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary.

2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also 
   incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as 
   horribly intrusive for little gain).

3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem 
   is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in 
   time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might 
   also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it.  On the 
   other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to 
   have been initialised (and is there mainly for information).

4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be 
   queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code 
   like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers.

5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly.

 Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained 
by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered 
are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards).  The -mfix-r4000 
and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though.

It was getting a little big, ugly and a primary source for merge conflicts.
Also the old method was a bit too forgiving in that the workaround did
default to off, so now there is an explicit #error forcing platform
maintainers to think if they should enable a workaround for a particular
platform.

<title>[MIPS] RM7000: Enable ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR.</title>

The RM7000 processors and the E9000 cores have a bug (though PMC-Sierra
opposes it being called that) where invalid instructions in the same
I-cache line worth of instructions being fetched may case spurious
exceptions.

The workaround for this was only enabled for E9000 cores; enable it also
for all RM7000-based platforms.
