mips: Use HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP

2011-12-08T18:22:09Z

mips used early_node_map[] just to prime free_area_init_nodes(). Now memblock can be used for the same purpose and early_node_map[] is scheduled to be dropped. Use memblock instead.

MIPS: Handle initmem in systems with kernel not in add_memory_region() mem

2011-12-07T22:03:45Z

This patch addresses a couple of related problems: 1) The kernel may reside in physical memory outside of the ranges set by plat_mem_setup(). If this is the case, init mem cannot be reused as it resides outside of the range of pages that the kernel memory allocators control. 2) initrd images might be loaded in physical memory outside of the ranges set by plat_mem_setup(). The memory likewise cannot be reused. The patch doesn't handle this specific case, but the infrastructure is useful for future patches that do. The crux of the problem is that there are memory regions that need be memory_present(), but that cannot be free_bootmem() at the time of arch_mem_init(). We create a new type of memory (BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM) for use with add_memory_region(). Then arch_mem_init() adds the init mem with this type if the init mem is not already covered by existing ranges. When memory is being freed into the bootmem allocator, we skip the BOOT_MEM_INIT_RAM ranges so they are not clobbered, but we do signal them as memory_present(). This way when they are later freed, the necessary memory manager structures have initialized and the Sparse allocater is prevented from crashing. The Octeon specific code that handled this case is removed, because the new general purpose code handles the case.

mips: migrate core kernel file from module.h --> export.h

2011-10-31T23:30:56Z

These files are not modules, but were including module.h only for EXPORT_SYMBOL and/or THIS_MODULE. Now that we have the lightweight export.h, use it in these kinds of cases. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

MIPS: Implement __read_mostly

2011-01-18T18:30:28Z

Just do what everyone else is doing by placing __read_mostly things in the .data.read_mostly section. mips_io_port_base can not be read-only (const) and writable (__read_mostly) at the same time. One of them has to go, so I chose to eliminate the __read_mostly. It will still get stuck in a portion of memory that is not adjacent to things that are written, and thus not be on a dirty cache line, for whatever that is worth.

MIPS: nofpu and nodsp only affect CPU0

2010-05-21T20:31:17Z

The "nofpu" and "nodsp" kernel command line options currently do not affect CPUs that are brought online later in the boot process or hotplugged at runtime. It is desirable to apply the nofpu/nodsp options to all CPUs in the system, so that surprising results are not seen when a process migrates from one CPU to another. [Ralf: Moved definitions of mips_fpu_disabled, fpu_disable, mips_dsp_disabled and dsp_disable from setup.c to cpu-probe.c to allow making mips_fpu_disabled and mips_dsp_disabled static.] Signed-off-by: Kevin Cernekee Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/1169/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command line

2009-12-17T01:57:35Z

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore, using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless. This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line arguments override the hardcoded ones. [Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this change.] Signed-off-by: Dmitri Vorobiev Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/689/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle
