<content type='text'>
The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.

For the various event classes:

  - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
    the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
  - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
  - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
    perform wakeups, and hence need 0.

As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).

The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

<title>MIPS: Fix GCC-4.6 'set but not used' warning in ieee754int.h</title>

GCC-4.6 can find more unused code than previous versions could.

In the case of arch/mips/math-emu/ieee754int.h, the COMPXSP and
COMPXDP macros are used in several places, but a couple of them leave
xs unused.  The easiest thing to do is mark it as __maybe_unused to
quiet the warning.

<title>MIPS: Send proper signal and siginfo on FP emulator faults.</title>

We were unconditionally sending SIGBUS with an empty siginfo on FP
emulator faults.  This differs from what happens when real floating
point hardware would get a fault.

For most faults we need to send SIGSEGV with the faulting address
filled in in the struct siginfo.

Software events are required as part of the measurable stuff by the
Linux performance counter subsystem. Here is the list of events added by
this patch:
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ
PERF_COUNT_SW_ALIGNMENT_FAULTS
PERF_COUNT_SW_EMULATION_FAULTS

<title>MIPS: Add -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild</title>

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.
