Reuse the early printk code to support the serial in zboot. We copy
early_printk.c instead of referencing it because we need to build a
different object file for the normal kernel and zboot.

has an identical hardware watchpoint interface to CPU_MIPSR2, which
prevents ptrace watchpoints from being loaded when executing a ptraced

Similar to how arm allows using selecting between bootloader arguments,
dtb arguments and both, allow to select them on mips. But since we have
less control over the place of the dtb do not modify it but instead use
the boot_command_line for merging them.
The default is "use bootloader arguments" to keep the current behaviour
as default.

Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.
When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.
When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.
This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.
A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):
- Syscall: ~31000 ns
- VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
- VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef
- Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the
arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]

If we fail to register any real SMP implementations, fall back to
registering the dummy UP implementation. Otherwise when we build an SMP
kernel & run it on a system where the SMP implementations fail to probe
(eg. QEMU) the kernel will perform a NULL dereference attempting to call
mp_ops->smp_setup() from plat_smp_setup().
Notably this fixes booting kernels with CPS SMP enabled on QEMU, which
doesn't currently implement the CM, CPC or GIC.

Move memory configuration to be performed via device tree for the Malta
board. This moves more Malta specific code to malta-dtshim.c, leaving
the rest of the mti-malta code a little more board-agnostic. This will
be useful to share more code between boards, with the device tree
providing the board specifics as intended.
Since we can't rely upon Malta boards running a bootloader capable of
handling devictrees & filling in the required information, a piece of
shim code (malta_dt_shim) is added to consume the (e)memsize variables
provided as part of the bootloader environment (or on the kernel command
line) then generate the DT memory node using the provided values.

A boundary exists beyond which the timer frequency becomes high enough
that timer interrupts saturate the system and either cause it to slow to
a crawl or stop functioning entirely. Where that boundary lies depends
upon a number of factors such as the overhead of each interrupt and the
overall speed of the CPU, but correlates strongly with the clock
frequency at which the CPU runs. When running on emulators during
bringup or debug of a CPU that clock frequency is very low, which
results in the boundary at which the timer frequency becomes
unsustainable being very low. The current minimum of 48Hz pushes against
boundary in certain situations in current systems. Allow the kernel to
be configured for a 24Hz timer frequency in order to avoid problems on
such slow running systems.

ARCH_USE_BUILTIN_BSWAP will use __builtin_bswap16(), __builtin_bswap32()
and __builtin_bswap64() where available. This allows better instruction
scheduling. On pre-R2 processors it will result in 32 bit and 64 bit
swapping being performed in a call to a __bswapsi2() rsp. __bswapdi2()
functions, so we add these, too.
For a 4.2 kernel with GCC 4.9 this yields the following kernel sizes:

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
"This is the main pull request for 4.3 for MIPS. Here's the summary:
Three fixes that didn't make 4.2-stable:
- a -Os build might compile the kernel using the MIPS16 instruction
set but the R2 optimized inline functions in <uapi/asm/swab.h> are
implemented using 32-bit wide instructions which is invalid.
- a build error in pgtable-bits.h for a particular kernel
configuration.
- accessing registers of the CM GCR might have been compiled to use
64 bit accesses but these registers are onl 32 bit wide.
And also a few new bits:
- move the ATH79 GPIO driver to drivers/gpio
- the definition of IRQCHIP_DECLARE has moved to linux/irqchip.h,
change ATH79 accordingly.
- fix definition of pgprot_writecombine
- add an implementation of dma_map_ops.mmap
- fix alignment of quiet build output for vmlinuz link
- BCM47xx: Use kmemdup rather than duplicating its implementation
- Netlogic: Fix 0x0x prefixes of constants.
- merge Bjorn Helgaas' series to remove most of the weak keywords
from function declarations.
- CP0 and CP1 registers are best considered treated as unsigned
values to avoid large values from becoming negative values.
- improve support for the MIPS GIC timer.
- enable common clock framework for Malta and SEAD3.
- a number of improvments and fixes to dump_tlb().
- document the MIPS TLB dump functionality in Magic SysRq.
- Cavium Octeon CN68XX improvments.
- NetLogic improvments.
- irq: Use access helper irq_data_get_affinity_mask.
- handle MSA unaligned accesses.
- a number of R6-related math-emu fixes.
- support for I6400.
- improvments to MSA support.
- add uprobes support.
- move from deprecated __initcall to arch_initcall.
- remove finish_arch_switch().
- IRQ cleanups by Thomas Gleixner.
- migrate to new 'set-state' interface.
- random small cleanups"

Currently CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_CUSTOM_GPIO_H is defined for all MIPS
machines, and each machine type provides its own gpio.h. However
only a handful really implement the GPIO API, most just forward
everythings to gpiolib.
The Alchemy machine is notable as it provides a system to allow
implementing the GPIO API at the board level. But it is not used by
any board currently supported, so it can also be removed.
For most machine types we can just remove the custom gpio.h, as well
as the custom wrappers if some exists. Some of the code found in
the wrappers must be moved to the respective GPIO driver.
A few more fixes are need in some drivers as they rely on linux/gpio.h
to provides some machine specific definitions, or used asm/gpio.h
instead of linux/gpio.h for the gpio API.

On MIPS64 we have spinlocks that are 32b in size and an efficient
cmpxchg64 implementation, so we qualify to make use of cmpxchg backed
lockrefs. Select the ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF Kconfig symbol and provide
a trivial implementation of arch_spin_value_unlocked to satisfy the
lockref code.
Using Linus' simple testcase from

Some releases this branch is nearly empty, others we have more stuff. It
tends to gather drivers that need SoC modification or dependencies such
that they have to (also) go in through our tree.
For this release, we have merged in part of the reset controller tree
(with handshake that the parts we have merged in will remain stable),
as well as dependencies on a few clock branches.
In general, new items here are:
- Qualcomm driver for SMM/SMD, which is how they communicate with the
coprocessors on (some) of their platforms
- Memory controller work for ARM's PL172 memory controller
- Reset drivers for various platforms
- PMU power domain support for Marvell platforms
- Tegra support for T132/T210 SoCs: PMC, fuse, memory controller per-SoC support

Pass 1 parts had a number of significant erratas and were only available
in small numbers and under NDA. Full support also required the use of a
special toolchain that kept branches properly aligned. These workarounds
were never upstreamed and the only toolchain known to have them is
Montavista's GCC 3.0-based toolchain which completly obsoleted if not
useless these days.
So now that automated testing has tripped over the user of the
-msb1-pass1-workarounds option, rather than fixing it remove support for
pass 1 parts.
Probably nobody will notice. I seem to own the last know pass 1 board
and I haven't noticed another one in the wild in the past decade, at
least.

MIPS32r6 code requires FP64 (ie. FR=1) support. Building a kernel with
support for MIPS32r6 binaries but without support for O32 with FP64 is
therefore a problem which can lead to incorrectly executed userland.
CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT is already selected when the kernel is
configured for MIPS32r6, but not when the kernel is configured for
MIPS64r6 with O32 compat support. Select CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT in
such configurations to prevent building kernels which execute MIPS32r6
userland incorrectly.

After Broadcom switched from MIPS to ARM for their home routers we need
to have NVRAM driver in some common place (not arch/mips/). As explained
in Kconfig, this driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration
data that is passed to the kernel in flash from the bootloader firmware
called "CFE".
We were thinking about putting it in bus directory, however there are
two possible buses for MIPS: drivers/ssb/ and drivers/bcma/. So this
won't fit there and this is why I would like to move this driver to the
drivers/firmware/.
