MIPS: Loongson 3: Add Loongson-3 SMP support
IPI registers of Loongson-3 include IPI_SET, IPI_CLEAR, IPI_STATUS, IPI_EN and IPI_MAILBOX_BUF. Each bit of IPI_STATUS indicate a type of IPI and IPI_EN indicate whether the IPI is enabled. The sender write 1 to IPI_SET bits generate IPIs in IPI_STATUS, and receiver write 1 to bits of IPI_CLEAR to clear IPIs. IPI_MAILBOX_BUF are used to deliver more information about IPIs. Why we change code in arch/mips/loongson/common/setup.c? If without this change, when SMP configured, system cannot boot since it hang at printk() in cgroup_init_early(). The root cause is: console_trylock() \-->down_trylock(&console_sem) \-->raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags) \-->_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()(SMP/UP have different versions) \-->__raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore() (following is the SMP case) \-->do_raw_spin_unlock() \-->arch_spin_unlock() \-->nudge_writes() \-->mb() \-->wbflush() \-->__wbflush() In previous code __wbflush() is initialized in plat_mem_setup(), but cgroup_init_early() is called before plat_mem_setup(). Therefore, In this patch we make changes to avoid boot failure.
