This kernel support is needed by the user-space tool:oprofile to profile
linux kernel or applications via loongson2 performance counters. you can
enable this driver via CONFIG_OPROFILE = y or m.
On Loongson2 there are two performance counters, each one can count 16
events respectively. when anyone of the performance counter overflows, an
interrupt will be generated and is routed to the IRQ MIPS_CPU_IRQ_BASE + 6.

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that
was removed. So kill it.

nmi_create_files() in arch/i386/oprofile/nmi_int.c depends on
model->num_counters (number of performance counters) being less than 10.
While this is currently the case, it's too clever by half.
Other archs aren't quite as clever: they assume 100. I suggest to
normalize them all to 1000.

The modpost uses a whitelist for commonly used suffix on checking the
section mismatch. Adding "_ops" suffix to op_modex_xxx get rid of
this modpost warning.

Nothing exciting; Linux just didn't know it yet so this is most adding
a value to a case statement.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
