MIPS will soon not be a part of Imagination Technologies, and as such
many @imgtec.com email addresses will no longer be valid. This patch
updates the addresses for those who:
- Have 10 or more patches in mainline authored using an @imgtec.com
email address, or any patches dated within the past year.
- Are still with Imagination but leaving as part of the MIPS business
unit, as determined from an internal email address list.
- Haven't already updated their email address (ie. JamesH) or expressed
a desire to be excluded (ie. Maciej).
- Acked v2 or earlier of this patch, which leaves Deng-Cheng, Matt &
myself.
New addresses are of the form firstname.lastname@mips.com, and all
verified against an internal email address list. An entry is added to
.mailmap for each person such that get_maintainer.pl will report the new
addresses rather than @imgtec.com addresses which will soon be dead.
Instances of the affected addresses throughout the tree are then
mechanically replaced with the new @mips.com address.

The mips_cps_boot_vpes function previously included code to retrieve
pointers to the core & VPE boot configuration structs. These structures
were used both by mips_cps_boot_vpes and by its mips_cps_core_entry
callsite. In preparation for skipping the call to mips_cps_boot_vpes on
some invocations of mips_cps_core_entry, pull the calculation of those
pointers out into a separate function such that it can continue to be
shared.

These symbols will not be defined when CONFIG_MIPS_CPS=n, but although
the CPS_PM_POWER_GATED state will never be used in that case the
compiler doesn't have enough information to figure that out. Add checks
which evaluate to a constant false for CONFIG_MIPS_CPS=n cases in order
to help the compiler out & eliminate the symbol references.

This patch adds code to generate entry & exit code for various low power
states available on systems based around the MIPS Coherent Processing
System architecture (ie. those with a Coherence Manager, Global
Interrupt Controller & for >=CM2 a Cluster Power Controller). States
supported are:
- Non-coherent wait. This state first leaves the coherent domain and
then executes a regular MIPS wait instruction. Power savings are
found from the elimination of coherency interventions between the
core and any other coherent requestors in the system.
- Clock gated. This state leaves the coherent domain and then gates
the clock input to the core. This removes all dynamic power from the
core but leaves the core at the mercy of another to restart its
clock. Register state is preserved, but the core can not service
interrupts whilst its clock is gated.
- Power gated. This deepest state removes all power input to the core.
All register state is lost and the core will restart execution from
its BEV when another core powers it back up. Because register state
is lost this state requires cooperation with the CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP
implementation in order for the core to exit the state successfully.
The code will detect which states are available on the current system
during boot & generate the entry/exit code for those states. This will
be used by cpuidle & hotplug implementations.

The core power down state for cpuidle will require that the CPS SMP
implementation is in use. This patch provides a mips_cps_smp_in_use
function which determines whether or not the CPS SMP implementation is
currently in use.

When hotplug and/or a powered down idle state are supported cases will
arise where a non-zero VPE must be brought online without VPE 0, and it
where multiple VPEs must be onlined simultaneously. This patch prepares
for that by:
- Splitting struct boot_config into core & VPE boot config structures,
allocated one per core or VPE respectively. This allows for multiple
VPEs to be onlined simultaneously without clobbering each others
configuration.
- Indicating which VPEs should be online within a core at any given
time using a bitmap. This allows multiple VPEs to be brought online
simultaneously and also indicates to VPE 0 whether it should halt
after starting any non-zero VPEs that should be online within the
core. For example if all VPEs within a core are offlined via hotplug
and the user onlines the second VPE within that core:
1) The core will be powered up.
2) VPE 0 will run from the BEV (ie. mips_cps_core_entry) to
initialise the core.
3) VPE 0 will start VPE 1 because its bit is set in the cores
bitmap.
4) VPE 0 will halt itself because its bit is clear in the cores
bitmap.
- Moving the core & VPE initialisation to assembly code which does not
make any use of the stack. This is because if a non-zero VPE is to
be brought online in a powered down core then when VPE 0 of that
core runs it may not have a valid stack, and even if it did then
it's messy to run through parts of generic kernel code on VPE 0
before starting the correct VPE.

This patch introduces a new SMP implementation for systems implementing
the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture. The kernel will make
use of the Coherence Manager, Cluster Power Controller & Global
Interrupt Controller in order to detect, bring up & make use of other
cores in the system. SMTC is not supported, so only a single TC per VPE
in the system is used. That is, this option enables an SMVP style setup
but across multiple cores.
