2014-05-24MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC supportRalf Baechle1-195/+1
Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase. Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D. Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT ASE's power and elegance. Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to merge once upon a time.

2014-03-31MIPS: Fix gigaton of warning building with microMIPS.Ralf Baechle1-1/+1
With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead. This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad vintage for MIPS anyway.

2013-10-29MIPS: Move definition of SMP processor id register to header fileJayachandran C1-18/+6
The definition of the CP0 register used to save the smp processor id is repicated in many files, move them all to thread_info.h.

2013-07-01MIPS: Don't save/restore OCTEON wide multiplier state on syscalls.David Daney1-15/+14
The ABI allows these to be clobbered on syscalls, so only save and restore the multiplier state when the temporary registers need to be preserved.

2013-05-09MIPS: microMIPS: Add support for exception handling.Steven J. Hill1-6/+6
All exceptions must be taken in microMIPS mode, never in classic MIPS mode or the kernel falls apart. A few NOP instructions are used to maintain the correct alignment of microMIPS versions of the exception vectors. Signed-off-by: Steven J. Hill <Steven.Hill@imgtec.com>
2013-02-01MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.Ralf Baechle1-7/+7
Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling in forever. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2010-04-12MIPS: Loongson-2F: Flush the branch target history in BTB and RASWu Zhangjin1-0/+19
As per chapter 15 "Errata: Issue of Out-of-order in loongson"[1] to work around the Loongson 2F erratum we need to do: "When switching from user mode to kernel mode, you should flush the branch target history such as BTB and RAS."

2009-12-17MIPS: Put PGD in C0_CONTEXT for 64-bit R2 processors.David Daney1-10/+10
Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context into a usable pointer. By doing this we save a memory load and associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers. Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.
