IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use libata for ATA support exclusively. However there are still some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA drivers. This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left in use: * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users This patch converts bigsur_defconfig to use libata PATA drivers (tc86c001 IDE host driver has no corresponding libata driver yet so it is not converted).

If we fail to register any real SMP implementations, fall back to registering the dummy UP implementation. Otherwise when we build an SMP kernel & run it on a system where the SMP implementations fail to probe (eg. QEMU) the kernel will perform a NULL dereference attempting to call mp_ops->smp_setup() from plat_smp_setup(). Notably this fixes booting kernels with CPS SMP enabled on QEMU, which doesn't currently implement the CM, CPC or GIC. Signed-off-by:

Move memory configuration to be performed via device tree for the Malta board. This moves more Malta specific code to malta-dtshim.c, leaving the rest of the mti-malta code a little more board-agnostic. This will be useful to share more code between boards, with the device tree providing the board specifics as intended. Since we can't rely upon Malta boards running a bootloader capable of handling devictrees & filling in the required information, a piece of shim code (malta_dt_shim) is added to consume the (e)memsize variables provided as part of the bootloader environment (or on the kernel command line) then generate the DT memory node using the provided values.

The fw_getmdesc function & fw_memblock_t abstraction is only used by Malta, and so far as I can tell serves no purpose beyond making the code less clear than it could be. Remove the useless level of abstraction. Signed-off-by:

Commit a68d09a1 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on 64-bit CPUs") prevented use of RIXI on MIPS64 systems, stating that the "TLB handlers cannot handle this case". What they actually couldn't handle was cases where there were less fill bits in the Entry{Lo,Hi} registers than bits used by software in PTEs. The handlers can now deal with this case, so enable RIXI for MIPS32 kernels on MIPS64 systems. Note that beyond the obvious benefits provided by having RIXI on such systems, this is required for systems implementing MIPSr6 where RIXI cannot be disabled. This reverts commit a68d09a1 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on 64-bit CPUs"). Signed-off-by:

Commit 748e787e ("MIPS: Optimize TLB refill for RI/XI configurations.") stopped explicitly clearing the bits used by software in PTEs by making use of a rotate instruction that rotates them into the fill bits of the Entry{Lo,Hi} register. This can only work if there are actually enough fill bits in the register to cover the software maintained bits, otherwise we end up writing those bits into the upper bits of the PFN or PFNX field of the Entry{Lo,Hi} register. Fix this by detecting the number of fill bits present in the Entry{Lo,Hi} registers & explicitly clearing the software bits where necessary. Signed-off-by:

The code in build_update_entries for 64 bit physical addresses on a MIPS64 CPU and 32 bit physical addresses on a MIPS32 CPU is now identical, with the exception of r4k bug workaround in the latter which would simply not apply to the former. Remove the duplication and some Signed-off-by:

The cpu_has_rixi cases in build_update_entries are now identical to the non-RIXI cases with the one exception of the r45k_bvahwbug case which is hardcoded as never happening anyway & presumably was either missed from the RIXI path or would never happen on a CPU with RIXI support.

Prior to release 6 of the MIPS architecture it has been implementation dependent whether masked interrupts cause a wait instruction to return, so the kernel has effectively had to maintain a whitelist of cores upon which it is safe to use the r4k_wait_irqoff cpu_wait implementation. With MIPSr6 this is no longer implementation dependent and r4k_wait_irqoff can always be used. Remove the existing I6400 case which will no longer ever be hit, and was incorrect anyway since I6400 & r6 in general doesn't have the WII bit. Signed-off-by:

Ensure the update to which core the core-other GCR regions reflect has taken place before any core-other GCRs are accessed by placing a memory barrier (sync instruction) between the write to the core-other registers and any such GCR accesses. Signed-off-by:

Paul Burton authored
Document that CPC core-other accesses must take place within the bounds of the CM lock, and begin using the CM lock functions where we access the GCRs of other cores. This is required because with CM3 the CPC began using GCR_CL_OTHER instead of CPC_CL_OTHER. Signed-off-by:

Paul Burton authored
Introduce mips_cm_lock_other & mips_cm_unlock_other, mirroring the existing CPC equivalents, in order to lock access from the current core to another via the core-other GCR region. This hasn't been required in the past but with CM3 the CPC starts using GCR_CL_OTHER rather than CPC_CL_OTHER and this will be required for safety.

When debugging core bringup it is useful to see the state of the CPC sequencer, so output that value if the core hasn't started within a reasonable amount of time (1 second). This avoids simply appearing to the user to hang if a secondary core fails to start. Signed-off-by:

Provide support for outputting early debug information, in the form of various register values should an exception occur, during the early bringup of secondary cores. This code requires an ns16550-compatible UART accessible from the secondary core, and is written in assembly due to the environment in which such early exceptions occur where way may not have a stack, be coherent or even have initialised caches.

Remove the definition in locore.S and move a few of the other similar definitions in asm/mipsregs.h too. CP0_INTCTL, CP0_SRSCTL, & CP0_SRSMAP are unused so they're just dropped instead. CP0_DDATA_LO is left where it is as I have patches to eliminate its use in locore.S and it otherwise is unlikely to need to be used from assembly code. Signed-off-by:

CM3 has 64 bit GCR_ERROR_* registers, but the code in mips_cm_error_report was previously only reading 32 bits of it in MIPS32 kernels. Fix by splitting the reads for CM2 & CM3, and making use of the read64_ variants of the accessor function for CM3. Signed-off-by:

If we run a MIPS32 kernel on a system using CM3 we may still need to access 64 bit GCRs, as will be done in later patches. Allow this by having the read64_gcr_* accessor functions perform 2 x 32 bit reads on those systems. Signed-off-by:

Commit 3885c2b4 ("MIPS: CM: Add support for reporting CM cache errors") added cases for decoding errors reported by CM3, but leaves the buf variable which is printed as a string uninitialised for cause values other than 1, 2 or 3.

Commit 3885c2b4 ("MIPS: CM: Add support for reporting CM cache errors") leads to Malta boards unconditionally reading CM GCRs upon bus errors, regardless of whether a CM is present. This is incorrect & will lead to further exceptions. Fix by moving the GCR reads to after the check for whether a CM is present. Signed-off-by:

The documentation for mips_cm_is64 implied that the width of the CM GCRs would change depending upon the CPU, which is not true. Reword the explanation to be clearer that the GCR width is purely dependent upon the version of the CM. Signed-off-by:

A boundary exists beyond which the timer frequency becomes high enough that timer interrupts saturate the system and either cause it to slow to a crawl or stop functioning entirely. Where that boundary lies depends upon a number of factors such as the overhead of each interrupt and the overall speed of the CPU, but correlates strongly with the clock frequency at which the CPU runs. When running on emulators during bringup or debug of a CPU that clock frequency is very low, which results in the boundary at which the timer frequency becomes unsustainable being very low. The current minimum of 48Hz pushes against boundary in certain situations in current systems. Allow the kernel to be configured for a 24Hz timer frequency in order to avoid problems on such slow running systems. Signed-off-by:

ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will use __builtin_bswap16(), __builtin_bswap32() and __builtin_bswap64() where available. This allows better instruction scheduling. On pre-R2 processors it will result in 32 bit and 64 bit swapping being performed in a call to a __bswapsi2() rsp. __bswapdi2() functions, so we add these, too. For a 4.2 kernel with GCC 4.9 this yields the following kernel sizes: text data bss dec hex filename 3996071 155804 88992 4240867 40b5e3 vmlinux ip22 baseline 3985687 159900 88992 4234579 409d53 vmlinux ip22 + bswap patch 6913157 378552 251024 7542733 7317cd vmlinux ip27 baseline 6878581 378552 251024 7508157 7290bd vmlinux ip27 + bswap patch 5773777 268752 187424 6229953 5f0fc1 vmlinux malta baseline 5773401 268752 187424 6229577 5f0e49 vmlinux malta + bswap patch Presumably the code size improvments yield better cache hit rate thus better performance compensating for the extra function call but this will still need to be benchmarked.
