MIPS: Use ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP.

2015-10-26T08:49:43Z

ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will use __builtin_bswap16(), __builtin_bswap32() and __builtin_bswap64() where available. This allows better instruction scheduling. On pre-R2 processors it will result in 32 bit and 64 bit swapping being performed in a call to a __bswapsi2() rsp. __bswapdi2() functions, so we add these, too. For a 4.2 kernel with GCC 4.9 this yields the following kernel sizes: text data bss dec hex filename 3996071 155804 88992 4240867 40b5e3 vmlinux ip22 baseline 3985687 159900 88992 4234579 409d53 vmlinux ip22 + bswap patch 6913157 378552 251024 7542733 7317cd vmlinux ip27 baseline 6878581 378552 251024 7508157 7290bd vmlinux ip27 + bswap patch 5773777 268752 187424 6229953 5f0fc1 vmlinux malta baseline 5773401 268752 187424 6229577 5f0e49 vmlinux malta + bswap patch Presumably the code size improvments yield better cache hit rate thus better performance compensating for the extra function call but this will still need to be benchmarked.

MIPS: Use generic checksum functions for MIPS R6

2015-02-17T15:37:19Z

The following instructions have been removed from MIPS R6 ulw, ulh, swl, lwr, lwl, swr. However, all of them are used in the MIPS specific checksum implementation. As a result of which, we will use the generic checksum on MIPS R6 Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras

MIPS: Make irqflags.h functions preempt-safe for non-mipsr2 cpus

2012-11-09T09:59:21Z

For non MIPSr2 processors, such as the BMIPS 5000, calls to arch_local_irq_disable() and others may be preempted, and in doing so a stale value may be restored to c0_status. This fix disables preemption for such processors prior to the call and enables it after the call. Those functions that needed this fix have been "outlined" to mips-atomic.c, as they are no longer good candidates for inlining. This bug was observed in a BMIPS 5000, occuring once every few hours in a continuous reboot test. It was traced to the write_lock_irq() function which was being invoked in release_task() in exit.c. By placing a number of "nops" inbetween the mfc0/mtc0 pair in arch_local_irq_disable(), which is called by write_lock_irq(), we were able to greatly increase the occurance of this bug. Similarly, the application of this commit silenced the bug.

MIPS: Remove irqflags.h dependency from bitops.h

2012-11-09T09:59:10Z

The "else clause" of most functions in bitops.h invoked raw_local_irq_{save,restore}() and in doing so had a dependency on irqflags.h. This fix moves said code to bitops.c, removing the dependency.

MIPS: Unify memcpy.S and memcpy-inatomic.S

2012-07-23T12:55:55Z

We can save the 451 lines of code that comprise memcpy-inatomic.S at the expense of a single instruction in the memcpy prolog. We also use an additional register (t6), so this may cause increased register pressure in some places as well. But I think the reduced maintenance burden, of not having two nearly identical implementations, makes it worth it.

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
