MIPS: Add support for interAptiv cores

2014-01-22T19:19:01+00:00

The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
and optional floating point unit.

MIPS: Add support for FTLBs

2014-01-22T19:19:00+00:00

The Fixed Page Size TLB (FTLB) is a set-associative dual entry TLB. Its
purpose is to reduce the number of TLB misses by increasing the effective
TLB size and keep the implementation complexity to minimum levels.
A supported core can have both VTLB and FTLB.

MIPS: Add support for the proAptiv cores

2014-01-22T19:18:59+00:00

The proAptiv Multiprocessing System is a power efficient multi-core
microprocessor for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications.
The proAptiv Multiprocessing System combines a deep pipeline
with multi-issue out of order execution for improved computational
throughput. The proAptiv Multiprocessing System can contain one to
six MIPS32r3 proAptiv cores, system level coherence
manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port, and optional
floating point unit.

MIPS: Add printing of ES bit for Imgtec cores when cache error occurs.

2014-01-22T19:18:57+00:00

The cacheer register is always implemented in the same way in the
MIPS32r2 Imgtec cores so print the ES bit when an cache error
occurs.

MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binaries

2014-01-13T22:40:56+00:00

CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs
do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act
like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32
bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is
zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined
expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a
64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is
built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF
header.

With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when
executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition
of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in
the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is
introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't
require it.

Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more
cleanly & correctly.

MIPS: Print correct PC in trace dump after NMI exception

2013-10-29T20:25:35+00:00

An NMI exception delivered from YAMON delivers the PC in ErrorPC
instead of EPC. It's also necessary to clear the Status.BEV
bit for the page fault exception handler to work properly.

than the convoluted explicit %hi/%lo manual relocation sequence from the

MIPS: Remove bogus BUG_ON()

2013-10-29T20:25:20+00:00

Checking for n<0 && n>9 makes no sense because it can never
be true. Moreover, we can have up to 64 vectored interrupts
so BUG_ON(n>9) was wrong anyway.

MIPS: Optimize current_cpu_type() for better code.

2013-09-17T16:50:53+00:00

 o Move current_cpu_type() to a separate header file
 o #ifdefing on supported CPU types lets modern GCC know that certain
   code in callers may be discarded ideally turning current_cpu_type() into
   a function returning a constant.
 o Use current_cpu_type() rather than direct access to struct cpuinfo_mips.

2013-07-19T22:10:01+00:00

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle:
 "MIPS fixes for 3.11.  Half of then is for Netlogic the remainder
  touches things across arch/mips.

  Nothing really dramatic and by rc1 standards MIPS will be in fairly
  good shape with this applied.  Tested by building all MIPS defconfigs
  of which with this pull request four platforms won't build.  And yes,
  it boots also on my favorite test systems"
