MIPS: Add generic support for multiple machines within a single kernel

2011-01-18T18:30:21Z

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on a given SoC within a single kernel image. It is implemented already for several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet. [Ralf: This competes with DT but DT is a much more complex solution and this code has been used by OpenWRT for a long time so for now DT is a bad reason to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.] Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: kaloz@openwrt.org Cc: Luis R.

MIPS: Eleminate filenames from comments

2009-08-03T16:52:40Z

They tend to get not updated when files are moved around or copied and lack any obvious use. While at it zap some only too obvious comments and as per Shinya's suggestion, add a copyright header to extable.c.

MIPS: Outline udelay and fix a few issues.

2009-06-08T15:57:51Z

Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline boundary. The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly. Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for explicit. The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to be fixed on another day. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: show_cpuinfo prints the type of the calling CPU

[MIPS] Fix shadow register support.

2007-11-15T23:21:49Z

Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels. SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into the generic CPU probe. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

[MIPS] Make facility to convert CPU types to strings generally available.

2007-10-11T22:46:17Z

So far /proc/cpuinfo has been the only user but human readable processor name are more useful than that for proc. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
