This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable
this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be
disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in
Kernel type menu.
Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently
we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation.
If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset
defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events().
Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely,
mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower
level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are
perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for
example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the
bottom of perf_event.c.
In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.

Use asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h to handle all DMA mapping operations
and establish a default get_dma_ops() that forwards all operations to the
existing code.
Augment dev_archdata to carry a pointer to the struct dma_map_ops, allowing
DMA operations to be overridden on a per device basis. Currently this is
never filled in, so the default dma_map_ops are used. A follow-on patch
sets this for Octeon PCI devices.
Also initialize the dma_debug system as it is now used if it is configured.

As documented in the Loongson 2F User Manual [2, 3], the old Loongson2F
series (2F01 / 2F02) have the NOP & JUMP issues which requires workarounds
in the kernel and binutils. This issue has been rectified in Loongson 2F
series 2F03 so no workarounds needed.
Now that the workarounds [1] adding the the -mfix-loongson2f-nop and
-mfix-loongson2f-jump options have been comitted to the binutils the CVS
repository), we can add the workarounds in the kernel.
The workarounds have no significant side effect on the system but may
decrease performance so we control them through a a new
CPU_LOONGSON2F_WORKAROUNDS config option allowing the users to only enable
it as necessary.

In order to achieve correct synchronization semantics, the Octeon port
had defined CONFIG_WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC. This resulted in code
that looks like:
sync
ll ...
.
.
.
sc ...
.
.
sync
The second SYNC was redundant, but harmless.
Octeon has a SYNCW instruction that acts as a write-memory-barrier
(due to an erratum in some parts two SYNCW are used). It is much
faster than SYNC because it imposes ordering on the writes, but
doesn't otherwise stall the execution pipeline. On Octeon, SYNC
stalls execution until all preceeding writes are committed to the
coherent memory system.
Using:
syncw;syncw
ll
.
.
.
sc
.
.
Has identical semantics to the first sequence, but is much faster.
The SYNCW orders the writes, and the SC will not complete successfully
until the write is committed to the coherent memory system. So at the
end all preceeding writes have been committed. Since Octeon does not
do speculative reads, this functions as a full barrier.
The patch removes CONFIG_WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC, and substitutes
SYNCW for SYNC in write-memory-barriers.

There's no reason for MIPS to select EMBEDDED. In fact, EMBEDDED makes
MIPS more awkward to deal with because it makes it different to the
majority of architectures for no good reason.
[Ralf: Historically disabling EMBEDDED had hid essential options for many
MIPS platforms such as serial console and forced crap like VGA support
or power managment enabled for platforms where those don't make any sense.
The name of the option is also _very_ missleading so many users don't
select it even where is was required for a functioning kernel.]

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little
different from X86.
in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and
the _mcount's return address(ra) to us.
For the kernel part without -mlong-calls:
move at, ra
jal _mcount
For the module part with -mlong-calls:
lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount
addiu v1, v1, low16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jal _mcount
Without -mlong-calls,
if the function is a leaf, it will not save the return address(ra):
ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>:
ffffffff80101298: 67bdfff0 daddiu sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8010129c: ffbe0008 sd s8,8(sp)
ffffffff801012a0: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff801012a4: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff801012a8: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff801012ac: 00020021 nop
so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the
return address is saved in the stack.
ffffffff80133030 <copy_process>:
ffffffff80133030: 67bdff50 daddiu sp,sp,-176
ffffffff80133034: ffbe00a0 sd s8,160(sp)
ffffffff80133038: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff8013303c: ffbf00a8 sd ra,168(sp)
ffffffff80133040: ffb70098 sd s7,152(sp)
ffffffff80133044: ffb60090 sd s6,144(sp)
ffffffff80133048: ffb50088 sd s5,136(sp)
ffffffff8013304c: ffb40080 sd s4,128(sp)
ffffffff80133050: ffb30078 sd s3,120(sp)
ffffffff80133054: ffb20070 sd s2,112(sp)
ffffffff80133058: ffb10068 sd s1,104(sp)
ffffffff8013305c: ffb00060 sd s0,96(sp)
ffffffff80133060: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff80133064: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff80133068: 00020021 nop
but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in
_mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space
or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we
can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search
the text instead.
as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a
store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at
register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we
search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset,
and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an
example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus
it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via
writing the &return_to_handler in.
If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move
at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1,
hi16bit_of_mcount".

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.
But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile:
MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls.
The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two
different type of calling to _mcount.
For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux"). is like this:
108: 03e0082d move at,ra
10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending>
10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
110: 00020021 nop
For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this:
c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0
c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0
10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
14: 03e0082d move at,ra
18: 0060f809 jalr v1
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose
one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with
"R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount".
and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need
to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and
filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop
instruction.
but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.
the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:
lui v1,0x0
addiu v1,v1,0
If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:
lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller
If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.
Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:
_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
j ftrace_stub
nop
...(do real tracing here)...
ftrace_stub:
jr ra
move ra, at
By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.
what about filtering job? we just need to do this:
lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004)
addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jalr v1
nop
1f: (rec->ip + 12)
In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.
In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

There is an exisiting common ftrace_test_stop_func() in
kernel/trace/ftrace.c, which is used to check the global variable
ftrace_trace_stop to determine whether stop the function tracing.
This patch implepment the MIPS specific one to speedup the procedure.
Thanks goes to Zhang Le for Cleaning it up.

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when
ftracer is enabled.

This patch adds basic options for MIPS CPUFreq support.
Since the cp0 timer's frequency is based on the processor clockrate it can
not be used with CPUFReq; an additional external timer is required.

Add the Cisco Powertv cable settop box to the MIPS tree. This platform is
based on a MIPS 24Kc processor with various devices integrated on the same
ASIC. There are multiple models of this box, with differing configuration
but the same kernel runs across the product line.

This patch adds two new kernel options: CPU_SUPPORTS_CPUFREQ and
CPU_SUPPORTS_ADDRWINCFG to describe the new features of Loongons 2F and
replaces the several ugly #if clauses by them.
These two options will be utilized by the future loongson revisions and
related drivers such as the coming Loongson 2F CPUFreq driver.

Loongson 2F has built-in DDR2 and PCI-X controller. The PCI-X controller
has a programming interface similiar to the the FPGA northbridge used on
Loongson 2E.
The main differences between Loongson 2E and Loongson 2F include:
1. Loongson 2F has an extra address window configuration module, which
is used to map CPU address space to DDR or PCI address space, or map
the PCI-DMA address space to DDR or LIO address space.
2. Loongson 2F supports 8 levels of software configurable CPu frequency
which can be configured in the LOONGSON_CHIPCFG0 register. The coming
cpufreq and standby support are based on this feature.
Loongson.h abstracts the modules and corresponding methods are abstracted.
Add other Loongson-2F-specific source code including gcc 4.4 support, PCI
memory space, PCI IO space, DMA address.

Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions
convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context
into a usable pointer. By doing this we save a memory load and
associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers.
Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we
move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough
bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.
