commit b1e0d8b70fa31821ebca3965f2ef8619d7c5e316 upstream.

The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
"gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
such as icecream do expect.

This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
miscompilations.

Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
incorrect -x parameter syntax.

<title>MIPS: Fix build with C=1</title>

<id>08fa624f504e5edab6f69014fc92ecc7b2bbd81e</id>
<content type='text'>
When trying to compile the 3.1-rc10 kernel for my MIPS board with C=1
(sparse checking), the build fails early with the error:

	  CHK     include/linux/version.h
	  UPD     include/linux/version.h
	  CHK     include/generated/utsrelease.h
	  UPD     include/generated/utsrelease.h
	  Checking missing-syscalls for N32

	  Checking missing-syscalls for O32
	  CALL    scripts/checksyscalls.sh

	make[3]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 2
	make[2]: *** [scripts/mod] Error 2
	make[1]: *** [scripts] Error 2

It seems the shell chokes because sparse is called with command line
arguments such as:

	-D__INT8_C(c)='c'

Converting these to form:

	-D'__INT8_C(c)'='c'

seems to fix the problem.

The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.

All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28.  We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.

The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least.  In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch.  We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.

By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.

With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.

This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.
f65e4fa8e0c6022ad58dc88d1b11b12589ed7f9f (kernel.org).
