MIPS: Random whitespace clean-ups

2013-11-04T17:19:20+00:00

Another whitespace clean-up, this removes tabs from between sentences in
some comments.

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

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.

Improve atomic.h robustness

2012-10-11T09:02:36+00:00

I've maintained this patch, originally from Thiemo Seufer in 2004, for a
really long time, but I think it's time for it to get a look at for
possible inclusion.  I have had no problems with it across various SGI
systems over the years.

To quote the post here:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2004-12/msg00000.html

"the atomic functions use so far memory references for the inline
assembler to access the semaphore. This can lead to additional
instructions in the ll/sc loop, because newer compilers don't
expand the memory reference any more but leave it to the assembler.

The appended patch uses registers instead, and makes the ll/sc
arguments more explicit. In some cases it will lead also to better
register scheduling because the register isn't bound to an output
any more."

atomic: cleanup asm-generic atomic*.h inclusion

2011-07-26T23:49:47+00:00

After changing all consumers of atomics to include , we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

linux/atomic.h
  -> asm/atomic.h
    -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h

where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype.  This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

Archs that need  need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).

Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.

atomic: move atomic_add_unless to generic code

2011-07-26T23:49:47+00:00

This is in preparation for more generic atomic primitives based on
__atomic_add_unless.

MIPS: Get rid of branches to .subsections.

2010-10-29T18:08:24+00:00

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).

Original fix for the issues which caused me to pull this optimization by
Paul Gortmaker .

MIPS: Use generic atomic64 for 32-bit kernels

2010-10-04T17:33:54+00:00

The 64-bit kernel has already had its atomic64 functions. Except for that,
we use the generic spinlocked version. The atomic64 types and related
functions are needed for the Linux performance counter subsystem.

MIPS: Quit using undefined behavior of ADDU in 64-bit atomic operations.

For 64-bit, we must use DADDU and DSUBU.
