In a multiplatform configuration, we may end up building a kernel for
both Marvell PJ1 and an ARMv4 CPU implementation. In that case, the
xscale-cp0 code is built with gcc -march=armv4{,t}, which results in a
build error from the coprocessor instructions.
Since we know this code will only have to run on an actual xscale
processor, we can simply build the entire file for ARMv5TE.
Related to this, we need to handle the iWMMXT initialization sequence
differently during boot, to ensure we don't try to touch xscale
specific registers on other CPUs from the xscale_cp0_init initcall.
cpu_is_xscale() used to be hardcoded to '1' in any configuration that
enables any XScale-compatible core, but this breaks once we can have a
combined kernel with MMP1 and something else.
In this patch, I replace the existing cpu_is_xscale() macro with a new
cpu_is_xscale_family() macro that evaluates true for xscale, xsc3 and
mohawk, which makes the behavior more deterministic.
The two existing users of cpu_is_xscale() are modified accordingly,
but slightly change behavior for kernels that enable CPU_MOHAWK without
also enabling CPU_XSCALE or CPU_XSC3. Previously, these would leave leave
PMD_BIT4 in the page tables untouched, now they clear it as we've always
done for kernels that enable both MOHAWK and the support for the older
CPU types.
Since the previous behavior was inconsistent, I assume it was
unintentional.

Convert many (but not all) printk(KERN_* to pr_* to simplify the code.
We take the opportunity to join some printk lines together so we don't
split the message across several lines, and we also add a few levels
to some messages which were previously missing them.

Building these files does not reveal a hidden need for
any of these. Since module.h brings in the whole kitchen
sink, it just needlessly adds 30k+ lines to the cpp burden.
There are probably lots more, but ARM files of mach-* and plat-*
don't get coverage via a simple yesconfig build. They will have
to be cleaned up and tested via using their respective configs.

This avoids races in the VFP code where the dead thread may have
state on another CPU. By moving this code to exit_thread(), we
will be running as the thread, and therefore be running on the
current CPU.
This means that we can ensure that the only local state is accessed
in the thread notifiers.

XScale cores either have a DSP coprocessor (which contains a single
40 bit accumulator register), or an iWMMXt coprocessor (which contains
eight 64 bit registers.)
Because of the small amount of state in the DSP coprocessor, access to
the DSP coprocessor (CP0) is always enabled, and DSP context switching
is done unconditionally on every task switch. Access to the iWMMXt
coprocessor (CP0/CP1) is enabled only when an iWMMXt instruction is
first issued, and iWMMXt context switching is done lazily.
CONFIG_IWMMXT is supposed to mean 'the cpu we will be running on will
have iWMMXt support', but boards are supposed to select this config
symbol by hand, and at least one pxa27x board doesn't get this right,
so on that board, proc-xscale.S will incorrectly assume that we have a
DSP coprocessor, enable CP0 on boot, and we will then only save the
first iWMMXt register (wR0) on context switches, which is Bad.
This patch redefines CONFIG_IWMMXT as 'the cpu we will be running on
might have iWMMXt support, and we will enable iWMMXt context switching
if it does.' This means that with this patch, running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=n
kernel on an iWMMXt-capable CPU will no longer potentially corrupt iWMMXt
state over context switches, and running a CONFIG_IWMMXT=y kernel on a
non-iWMMXt capable CPU will still do DSP context save/restore.
These changes should make iWMMXt work on PXA3xx, and as a side effect,
enable proper acc0 save/restore on non-iWMMXt capable xsc3 cores such
as IOP13xx and IXP23xx (which will not have CONFIG_CPU_XSCALE defined),
as well as setting and using HWCAP_IWMMXT properly.
