2010-02-27MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test.David Daney
This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks. The main reason I wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous patch. To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run time do: # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get spin_single spin_multi base 106885 247941 spinlock_patch 75194 219465 This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41% improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).

2010-02-27MIPS: Make the debugging of compressed kernel configurableWu Zhangjin
This patch adds a new DEBUG_ZBOOT option to allow the users to enable it to debug the compressed kernel support for a new board and this optoin should be disabled to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the kernel booting procedure when the compressed kernel support is stable.

2009-12-17MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command lineDmitri Vorobiev
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 <dmitri.vorobiev@movial.com> Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/689/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2008-12-12MIPS: Kconfig: Fix the arch-specific header pathDmitri Vorobiev
The header path in the help text for the RUNTIME_DEBUG config option is obsolete and needs to be updated to match the new location of architecture-specific header files. While at it, fix the spelling mistake. Signed-off-by: Dmitri Vorobiev <dmitri.vorobiev@movial.fi> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2008-07-30[MIPS] kgdb: Remove existing implementationJason Wessel
This patch explicitly removes the kgdb implementation, for mips which is intended to be followed by a patch that adds a kgdb implementation for MIPS that makes use of the kgdb core in the kernel.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
