Introduce generic support for this_cpu_add_return etc. The fallback is to realize these operations with simpler __this_cpu_ops. tj: - Reformatted __cpu_size_call_return2() to make it more consistent with its neighbors. - Dropped unnecessary temp variable ret__ from __this_cpu_generic_add_return().

__get_cpu_var() can be replaced with this_cpu_read and will then use a single read instruction with implied address calculation to access the correct per cpu instance. However, the address of a per cpu variable passed to __this_cpu_read() cannot be determined (since it's an implied address conversion through segment prefixes). Therefore apply this only to uses of __get_cpu_var where the address of the variable is not used.

this cpu operations can be used to slightly optimize the function. The changes will avoid some address calculations and replace them with the use of the percpu segment register. If one would have this_cpu_inc_return and this_cpu_dec_return then it would be possible to optimize inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state even more. V1->V2: - Fix __dec_zone_state overflow handling - Use s8 variables for temporary storage. V2->V3: - Put __percpu annotations in correct places. Reviewed-by:

For huge page support with base page size of 16K or 32K, we have to increase the MAX_ORDER so that huge pages can be allocated. [Ralf: I don't think a user should have to configure obscure constants like this but for the time being this will have to suffice.] Signed-off-by:

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: 00000000 <.text>: 0: dc857fff ld a1,32767(a0) 4: 3c010001 lui at,0x1 8: 00810821 addu at,a0,at c: 8c258000 lw a1,-32768(at) 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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

partial_fixup is used in noreorder block. Separating two consecutive loads can save one cycle on processors with GPR intrelock and can fix load-use on processors that need a load delay slot. Also do so for fwd_fixup. [Ralf: Only R2000/R3000 class processors are lacking the the load-user interlock and even some of those got it retrofitted. With R2000/R3000 being fairly uncommon these days the impact of this bug should be minor.] Signed-off-by:

TNETD7200 run their CPU clock faster than the default CPU clock we assume. In order to have the correct loops per jiffies settings, initialize clocks right before setting mips_hpt_frequency.
