      MIPS: __delay ABI-dependent subtraction simplification · e496453d
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored 
      

This small update to the previous fix to __delay removes a conditional
around the ABI-dependent subtraction operation within an inline asm in
favor to the standard <asm/asm.h> LONG_SUBU macro.  No change in code
produced.

      MIPS: Implement random_get_entropy with CP0 Random · 06947aaa
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored 
      Update to commit 9c9b415c

 [MIPS:
Reimplement get_cycles().]

On systems were for whatever reasons we can't use the cycle counter, fall
back to the c0_random register as an entropy source.  It has however a
very small range that makes it suitable for random_get_entropy only and
not get_cycles.

This optimised version compiles to 8 instructions in the fast path even in
the worst case of all the conditions to check being variable (including a
MFC0 move delay slot that is only required for very old processors):

     828:	8cf90000 	lw	t9,0(a3)
			828: R_MIPS_LO16	jiffies
     82c:	40057800 	mfc0	a1,c0_prid
     830:	3c0200ff 	lui	v0,0xff
     834:	00a21024 	and	v0,a1,v0
     838:	1040007d 	beqz	v0,a30 <add_interrupt_randomness+0x22c>
     83c:	3c030000 	lui	v1,0x0
			83c: R_MIPS_HI16	cpu_data
     840:	40024800 	mfc0	v0,c0_count
     844:	00000000 	nop
     848:	00409021 	move	s2,v0
     84c:	8ce20000 	lw	v0,0(a3)
			84c: R_MIPS_LO16	jiffies

On most targets the sequence will be shorter and on some it will reduce to
a single `MFC0 <reg>,c0_count', as all MIPS architecture (i.e. non-legacy
MIPS) processors require the CP0 Count register to be present.

The only known exception that reports MIPS architecture compliance, but
contrary to that lacks CP0 Count is the Ingenic JZ4740 thingy.  For broken
platforms like that this code requires cpu_has_counter to be hardcoded to
0 (i.e. no variable setting is permitted) so as not to penalise all the
other good platforms out there.

The asm barrier is required so that the compiler does not pull any
potentially costly (cold cache!) `cpu_data' variable access into the fast
path.

      MIPS: Malta: CPS SMP by default · 32201453
      Paul Burton authored 
      

The CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP implementation should be able to handle all
cases the CONFIG_MIPS_CMP implementation does, but without requiring
bootloader assistance. It is also required in order to make use of
features such as hotplug & cpuidle core power gating. Enable it by
default for Malta configs that previously enabled the now deprecated
CONFIG_MIPS_CMP, and disable the latter. The local version suffix "cmp"
is removed rather than replaced with "cps" since there are other ways to
tell that the CPS SMP implementation is in use (the "VPE topology" line
in the boot log being one).

      cpuidle: cpuidle-cps: add MIPS CPS cpuidle driver · d0508944
      Paul Burton authored 
      

This patch adds a cpuidle driver for systems based around the MIPS
Coherent Processing System (CPS) architecture. It supports four idle
states:

  - The standard MIPS wait instruction.

  - The non-coherent wait, clock gated & power gated states exposed by
    the recently added pm-cps layer.

The pm-cps layer is used to enter all the deep idle states. Since cores
in the clock or power gated states cannot service interrupts, the
gic_send_ipi_single function is modified to send a power up command for
the appropriate core to the CPC in cases where the target CPU has marked
itself potentially incoherent.
