This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable
this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be
disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in
Kernel type menu.
Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently
we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation.
If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset
defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events().
Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely,
mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower
level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are
perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for
example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the
bottom of perf_event.c.
In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.

This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan.
I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES. The
KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc. A possible
future enhance might be to factor out the common code.

Adding subdirs-ccflags-y := -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild
let us in one go cover all files with -Werror.
In addition this allows us to remove the
individual -Werror definition in various Makefile.
Adding the definition to Kbuild as a recursive
option help us not to forget to do so.
With this change we now compile arch/mips/kernel/cpufreq with -Werror
One drawback:
When specifying a subdirectory covered by the Kbuild file like this:
make arch/mips/kernel/
then kbuild fails to pick up the -Werror definition.

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still
missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to
allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation
of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.
We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
mapped into this space.

This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks. The main reason I
wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous
patch.
To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run
time do:
# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi
On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get
spin_single spin_multi
base 106885 247941
spinlock_patch 75194 219465
This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41%
improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.
But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile:
MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls.
The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two
different type of calling to _mcount.
For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux"). is like this:
108: 03e0082d move at,ra
10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending>
10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
110: 00020021 nop
For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this:
c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0
c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0
10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
14: 03e0082d move at,ra
18: 0060f809 jalr v1
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose
one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with
"R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount".
and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need
to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and
filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop
instruction.
but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.
the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:
lui v1,0x0
addiu v1,v1,0
If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:
lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller
If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.
Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:
_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
j ftrace_stub
nop
...(do real tracing here)...
ftrace_stub:
jr ra
move ra, at
By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.
what about filtering job? we just need to do this:
lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004)
addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jalr v1
nop
1f: (rec->ip + 12)
In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.
In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when
ftracer is enabled.

Loongson 2F supports CPU clock scaling. When put it into wait mode by
setting the frequency as ZERO it will stay in this mode until an external
interrupt wakes the CPU again.
To enable clock scaling support, an external timer of a known stable rate
is required.

The current mips clock build infrastructure lets a system only use
either the MIPS cp0 counter or a SoC specific timer as a clocksource /
clockevent device.
This patch renames the core cp0 counter clocksource / clockevent functions
from mips_* to r4k_* and updates the wrappers in asm-mips/time.h to
call these renamed functions instead.
Chips which can detect whether it is safe to use a chip-specific timer
can now fall back on the cp0 counter if necessary and possible
(e.g. Alchemy with a follow-on patch).
Existing behaviour is not changed in any way.

The new kgdb architecture specific handler registers and unregisters

driver.
Aside from initializing the exceptions earlier in the boot process,
kgdb should have no impact on a device when it is compiled in so long
as an I/O module is not configured for use.

The variable CFLAGS is a wellknown variable and the usage by
kbuild may result in unexpected behaviour.
On top of that several people over time has asked for a way to

This patch replace use of CFLAGS with KBUILD_CFLAGS all over the
tree and enabling one to use:
make CFLAGS=...
to specify additional gcc commandline options.
One usecase is when trying to find gcc bugs but other
use cases has been requested too.
Patch was tested on following architectures:
alpha, arm, i386, x86_64, mips, sparc, sparc64, ia64, m68k
Test was simple to do a defconfig build, apply the patch and check
that nothing got rebuild.
