2011-10-31mips: migrate core kernel file from module.h --> export.hPaul Gortmaker

2009-11-13mips: Use generic mult/shift factor calculation for clocksThomas Gleixner
Replace the MIPS functions of mult/shift factor calculation for clock events and clock sources with inline functions which call the generic functions.

The __weak definition of plat_time_init was only ever meant to be a migration helper to keep platforms that don't have a plat_time_init compiling.

2007-11-26[MIPS] Only build r4k clocksource for systems that work ok with it.Ralf Baechle
In particular as-is it's not suited for multicore and mutiprocessors systems where there is on guarantee that the counter are synchronized or running from the same clock at all. This broke Sibyte and probably others since the "[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register." commit. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2007-11-26[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register.Ralf Baechle
The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will be generated. This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the affected CPUs. This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents; at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0 available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken. This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

2006-10-08[MIPS] Complete fixes after removal of pt_regs argument to int handlers.Ralf Baechle
Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-01[PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.
