MIPS: Eleminate filenames from comments

2009-08-03T16:52:40+00:00

They tend to get not updated when files are moved around or copied and
lack any obvious use.  While at it zap some only too obvious comments and
as per Shinya's suggestion, add a copyright header to extable.c.

MIPS: Outline udelay and fix a few issues.

2009-06-08T15:57:51+00:00

Outlining fixes the issue were on certain CPUs such as the R10000 family
the delay loop would need an extra cycle if it overlaps a cacheline
boundary.

The rewrite also fixes build errors with GCC 4.4 which was changed in
way incompatible with the kernel's inline assembly.

Relying on pure C for computation of the delay value removes the need for
explicit.  The price we pay is a slight slowdown of the computation - to
be fixed on another day.

[MIPS] Fix shadow register support.

2007-11-15T23:21:49+00:00

Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore
systems.  The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but
VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels.

SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that
users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code.  So fix
the allocator by ditching it.  Move the remaining CPU probe bits into
the generic CPU probe.

[MIPS] Make facility to convert CPU types to strings generally available.

2007-10-11T22:46:17+00:00

So far /proc/cpuinfo has been the only user but human readable processor
name are more useful than that for proc.

[MIPS] Add support for BCM47XX CPUs.

2007-10-11T22:46:02+00:00

Note that the BCM4710 does not support the wait instruction, this
is not a mistake in the code.

It originally comes from the OpenWrt patches.
