The irq work queue is a per cpu object and it is sufficient for
synchronization if per cpu atomics are used. Doing so simplifies
the code and reduces the overhead of the code.

Use cmpxchg instead of xchg to realize this_cpu_xchg.

xchg will cause LOCK overhead since LOCK is always implied but cmpxchg
will not.

Baselines:

xchg()		= 18 cycles (no segment prefix, LOCK semantics)
__this_cpu_xchg = 1 cycle

(simulated using this_cpu_read/write, two prefixes. Looks like the
cpu can use loop optimization to get rid of most of the overhead)

Cycles before:

this_cpu_xchg	 = 37 cycles (segment prefix and LOCK (implied by xchg))

After:

this_cpu_xchg	= 11 cycle (using cmpxchg without lock semantics)

Generic code to provide new per cpu atomic features

	this_cpu_cmpxchg
	this_cpu_xchg

Fallback occurs to functions using interrupts disable/enable
to ensure correct per cpu atomicity.

Fallback to regular cmpxchg and xchg is not possible since per cpu atomic
semantics include the guarantee that the current cpus per cpu data is
accessed atomically. Use of regular cmpxchg and xchg requires the
determination of the address of the per cpu data before regular cmpxchg
or xchg which therefore cannot be atomically included in an xchg or
cmpxchg without segment override.

The patch was originally in the use cpuops patchset but it needs an
inc_return and is therefore dependent on an extension of the cpu ops.
Fixed up and verified that it compiles.

get_seq can benefit from this_cpu_operations.  Address calculation is
avoided and the increment is done using an xadd.

I am about to commit:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-10/msg00033.html

that fixes a problem with the LD/SD macro currently implemented by GAS for
the o32 ABI in an inconsistent way.  This is best illustrated with a
simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier
reference:

$ cat ld.s
	ld	$5,32767($4)
	ld	$5,32768($4)

This gets assebled into the following output:

$ mips-linux-as -32 -mips3 -o ld.o ld.s
$ mips-linux-objdump -d ld.o

ld.o:     file format elf32-tradbigmips

Disassembly of section .text:

  10:	8c268004 	lw	a2,-32764(at)
	...

Oops!

 The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW
instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the
offset associated with the address used.  The machine instruction is still
available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first.  This has a
side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand.

 As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O
registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux
regardless of the ABI selected.  Here's a fix for some pieces of code
affected I've been able to track down.  The fix should be backwards
compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be
used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code.  The use of the
"R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand.

The nvram_get function was never in the mainline kernel, it only existed in
an external OpenWrt patch. Use nvram_getenv function, which is in mainline
and use an include instead of an extra function declaration.  et0macaddr
contains the mac address in text from like 00:11:22:33:44:55. We have to
parse it before adding it into macaddr.

nvram_parse_macaddr will be merged into asm/mach-bcm47xx/nvram.h through
the MIPS git tree and will be available soon. It will not build now without
nvram_parse_macaddr, but it hasn't before either.

Some devices like the Netgear WGT634U are using ttyS1 for default console
output. We should switch to that console if it was given in the kernel_args
parameters.

Instead of writing own function for parsing the mac address we now
use sscanf.

Fill the sprom with all available values from the nvram. Most of these
new values are needed for the b43 or b43legacy driver.

Parts of this patch have been in OpenWRT for a long time and were written
by Michael Buesch.

The config options read out here are not stored in CFE but only in NVRAM on
the devices. Remove reading from CFE and only access the NVRAM.  Reading out
CFE does not harm but is useless here.

Consider the following test case:

write_c0_compare(read_c0_count());

Even if the counter doesn't increment during execution, this might not
generate an interrupt until the counter wraps around.  The CPU may
perform the comparison each time CP0 COUNT increments, not when CP0
COMPARE is written.

If mips_next_event() is called with a very small delta, and CP0 COUNT
increments during the calculation of "cnt += delta", it is possible
that CP0 COMPARE will be written with the current value of CP0 COUNT.
If this is detected, the function should return -ETIME, to indicate
that the interrupt might not have actually gotten scheduled.

BCM4710 uses the BMIPS32 core (like BCM6345), not the MIPS 4Kc core as
was previously believed.
