MIPS: Don't probe reserved EntryHi bits.

2010-02-10T21:15:46Z

The patch that adds cpu_probe_vmbits is erroneously writing to reserved bit 12. Since we are really only probing high bits, don't write this bit with a one.

MIPS: Fixup of the r4k timer

2010-02-10T21:15:42Z

As reported by Maxime Bizon, the commit "MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for timer interrupts with > 64 external IRQs" have broken the r4k timer since it didn't initialize the cp0_compare_irq_shift variable used in c0_compare_int_pending() on the architectures whose cpu_has_mips_r2 is false. This patch fixes it via initializing the cp0_compare_irq_shift as the cp0_compare_irq used in the old c0_compare_int_pending().

MIPS: 64-bit: Detect virtual memory size

2010-02-02T18:56:23Z

Linux kernel 2.6.32 and later allocate address space from the top of the kernel virtual memory address space. This patch implements virtual memory size detection for 64 bit MIPS CPUs to avoid resulting crashes.

MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for timer interrupts with > 64 external IRQs

2010-01-27T23:03:31Z

The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work. On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register, specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command line

2009-12-17T01:57:35Z

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore, using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless. This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line arguments override the hardcoded ones. [Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this change.] Signed-off-by: Dmitri Vorobiev Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/689/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Tracing: Make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-address

2009-12-17T01:57:27Z

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to _mcount" from "David Daney " have added a new option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location of the return address to _mcount. Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function, which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable. In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be enabled, otherwise, no side effect. and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support the old gcc versions. with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS), so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called "ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy $12(t0). (Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole thing more beautiful!)
