MIPS: Synchronize MIPS count one CPU at a time

2012-08-17T08:57:28+00:00

The current implementation of synchronise_count_{master,slave} blocks
slave CPUs in early boot until all of them come up. This no longer
works because blocking a CPU with interrupts off after notifying the
CPU to be online causes problems with the current kernel.

Specifically, after the workqueue changes
(commit a08489c569dc1 "Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo")
the CPU_ONLINE notification callback workqueue_cpu_up_callback()
will hang on wait_for_completion(&idle_rebind.done), if the slave
CPUs are blocked for synchronize_count_slave().

The changes are to update synchronize_count_{master,slave}() to handle
one CPU at a time and to call synchronise_count_master() in __cpu_up()
so that the CPU_ONLINE notification goes out only after the COP0 COUNT
register is synchronized.

[ralf@linux-mips.org: This matter only to those few platforms which are
using the cp0 counter as their clocksource which are XLP, XLR and MIPS'
CMP solution.]

MIPS: call set_cpu_online() on cpu being brought up with irq disabled

2012-07-19T09:23:44+00:00

To prevent a problem as commit 5fbd036b [sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness]
and commit 2baab4e9 [sched: Fix select_fallback_rq() vs cpu_active/cpu_online]
try to resolve, move set_cpu_online() to the brought up CPU and with irq
disabled.

MIPS: call ->smp_finish() a little late

2012-07-19T09:23:44+00:00

We have move irq enable to ->smp_finish. Place ->smp_finish() a little
late to prepare for move set_cpu_online() into start_secondary.
And it's not necessary to call cpu_set(cpu, cpu_callin_map) and
synchronise_count_slave() with irq enabled.

Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus

2012-05-30T01:27:19+00:00

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The whole series has been sitting in -next for quite a while with no
  complaints.  The last change to the series was before the weekend the
  removal of an SPI patch which Grant - even though previously acked by
  himself - appeared to raise objections.  So I removed it until the
  situation is clarified.  Other than that all the patches have the acks
  from their respective maintainers, all MIPS and x86 defconfigs are
  building fine and I'm not aware of any problems introduced by this
  series.

  Among the key features for this patch series is a sizable patchset for
  Lantiq which among other things introduces support for Lantiq's
  flagship product, the FALCON SOC.  It also means that the opensource
  developers behind this patchset have overtaken Lantiq's competing
  inhouse development team that was working behind closed doors.

  Less noteworthy the ath79 patchset which adds support for a few more
  chip variants, cleanups and fixes.  Finally the usual dose of tweaking
  of generic code."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/mips/lantiq/xway/gpio_{ebu,stp}.c where
printk spelling fixes clashed with file move and eventual removal of the
printk.

MIPS: Move cache setup to setup_arch().

2012-05-16T21:34:34+00:00

commit 97ce2c88f9ad42e3c60a9beb9fca87abf3639faa (jump-label: initialize
jump-label subsystem much earlier) breaks MIPS.  The jump_label_init()
call was moved before trap_init() which is where we initialize
flush_icache_range().

In order to be good citizens, we move cache initialization earlier so
that we don't jump through a null flush_icache_range function pointer
when doing the jump label initialization.

remove references to cpu_*_map in arch/

2012-03-29T05:08:30+00:00

This has been obsolescent for a while; time for the final push.

In adjacent context, replaced old cpus_* with cpumask_*.
