commit 305723ab439e14debc1d339aa04e835d488b8253 upstream.

Malta boards used with CPU emulators feature a switch to disable use of
an IOCU. Software has to check this switch &amp; ignore any present IOCU if
the switch is closed. The read used to do this was unsafe for 64 bit
kernels, as it simply casted the address 0xbf403000 to a pointer &amp;
dereferenced it. Whilst in a 32 bit kernel this would access kseg1, in a
64 bit kernel this attempts to access xuseg &amp; results in an address
error exception.

Fix by accessing a correctly formed ckseg1 address generated using the
CKSEG1ADDR macro.

Whilst modifying this code, define the name of the register and the bit
we care about within it, which indicates whether PCI DMA is routed to
the IOCU or straight to DRAM. The code previously checked that bit 0 was
also set, but the least significant 7 bits of the CONFIG_GEN0 register
contain the value of the MReqInfo signal provided to the IOCU OCP bus,
so singling out bit 0 makes little sense &amp; that part of the check is
dropped.

If we fail to register any real SMP implementations, fall back to
registering the dummy UP implementation. Otherwise when we build an SMP
kernel &amp; run it on a system where the SMP implementations fail to probe
(eg. QEMU) the kernel will perform a NULL dereference attempting to call
mp_ops-&gt;smp_setup() from plat_smp_setup().

Notably this fixes booting kernels with CPS SMP enabled on QEMU, which
doesn't currently implement the CM, CPC or GIC.

Move memory configuration to be performed via device tree for the Malta
board. This moves more Malta specific code to malta-dtshim.c, leaving
the rest of the mti-malta code a little more board-agnostic. This will
be useful to share more code between boards, with the device tree
providing the board specifics as intended.

Since we can't rely upon Malta boards running a bootloader capable of
handling devictrees &amp; filling in the required information, a piece of
shim code (malta_dt_shim) is added to consume the (e)memsize variables
provided as part of the bootloader environment (or on the kernel command
line) then generate the DT memory node using the provided values.

less clear than it could be. Remove the useless level of abstraction.

<title>MIPS: SMP: Don't increment irq_count multiple times for call function IPIs</title>
<updated>2015-08-03T07:25:12+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=4ace6139bf23ab4f152ba4207fc10b76cc01d2a5'/>
<id>4ace6139bf23ab4f152ba4207fc10b76cc01d2a5</id>
<content type='text'>
The majority of SMP platforms handle their IPIs through do_IRQ()
which calls irq_{enter/exit}(). When a call function IPI is received,
smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls
irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice.

When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call
function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core
receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing
IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is
greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a
core which receives its ticks via broadcast.

This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which
calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through
do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to
avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't
(loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt()
wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().

The majority of SMP platforms handle their IPIs through do_IRQ()
which calls irq_{enter/exit}(). When a call function IPI is received,
smp_call_function_interrupt() is called which also calls
irq_{enter,exit}(), meaning irq_count is raised twice.

When tick broadcasting is used (which is implemented via a call
function IPI), this incorrectly causes all CPU idle time on the core
receiving broadcast ticks to be accounted as time spent servicing
IRQs, as account_process_tick() will account as such if irq_count is
greater than 1. This results in 100% CPU usage being reported on a
core which receives its ticks via broadcast.

This patch removes the SMP smp_call_function_interrupt() wrapper which
calls irq_{enter,exit}(). Platforms which handle their IPIs through
do_IRQ() now call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() directly to
avoid incrementing irq_count a second time. Platforms which don't
(loongson, sgi-ip27, sibyte) call generic_smp_call_function_interrupt()
wrapped in irq_{enter,exit}().
