kbuild: Fix gcc -x syntax

2012-10-17T02:49:27+00:00

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.

MIPS: perf: Reorganize contents of perf support files.

2011-10-24T22:34:26+00:00

The contents of arch/mips/kernel/perf_event.c and
arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c were divided in a seemingly ad
hoc manner, with the first including the second.

I moved all the hardware counter support code to perf_event_mipsxx.c
and removed the gating #ifdefs to the Kconfig and Makefile.

Now perf_event.c contains only the callchain support, everything else
is in perf_event_mipsxx.c

There are no code changes, only moving of functions from one file to
the other, or removing empty unneeded functions.

MIPS: jump label: Add MIPS support.

2011-01-18T18:30:24+00:00

In order not to be left behind, we add jump label support for MIPS.

Tested on 64-bit big endian (Octeon), and 32-bit little endian
(malta/qemu).

MIPS: Add generic support for multiple machines within a single kernel

2011-01-18T18:30:21+00:00

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on
a given SoC within a single kernel image. It is implemented already for
several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet.

[Ralf: This competes with DT but DT is a much more complex solution and this
code has been used by OpenWRT for a long time so for now DT is a bad reason
to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.]

MIPS: add support for hardware performance events (skeleton)

2010-10-29T18:08:48+00:00

This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable
this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be
disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in
Kernel type menu.

Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently
we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation.

If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset
defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events().

Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely,
mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower
level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are
perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for
example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the
bottom of perf_event.c.

In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.

MIPS: kprobe: Add support.

2010-08-05T12:26:29+00:00

This patch is based on previous work by Sony and Himanshu Chauhan.

I have done some cleanup and implemented JProbes and KRETPROBES.  The
KRETPROBES part is pretty much copied verbatim from powerpc.  A possible
future enhance might be to factor out the common code.

MIPS: Add -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild

2010-08-05T12:25:44+00:00

Adding subdirs-ccflags-y := -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild
let us in one go cover all files with -Werror.

In addition this allows us to remove the
individual -Werror definition in various Makefile.

Adding the definition to Kbuild as a recursive
option help us not to forget to do so.

With this change we now compile arch/mips/kernel/cpufreq with -Werror

One drawback:
When specifying a subdirectory covered by the Kbuild file like this:

    make arch/mips/kernel/

then kbuild fails to pick up the -Werror definition.

MIPS: Preliminary VDSO

2010-04-12T16:26:14+00:00

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes.  Still
missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information.  But it is enough to
allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack.  Note that emulation
of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.

We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
trampolines into it.  The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
mapped into this space.
