MIPS: Sibyte: Apply M3 workaround only on affected chip types and versions.

2010-05-12T21:57:17+00:00

(cherry picked from commit e65c7f33d75e977350ca350573d93c517ec02776)

Previously it was unconditionally used on all Sibyte family SOCs.  The
M3 bug has to be handled in the TLB exception handler which is extremly
performance sensitive, so this modification is expected to deliver around
2-3% performance improvment.  This is important as required changes to the
M3 workaround will make it more costly.

MIPS: Loongson: Switch from flatmem to sparsemem

2009-12-01T16:21:26+00:00

With flatmem hibernation for Loongson will fail, and there are also some
other problems such as broken files when using NFS or CIFS / Samba.

The config help of sparsemem says:

"This option provides some potential performance benefits, along with
decreased code complexity."

So to avoid the potential problems of FLATMEM, we disable FLATMEM directly
and use SPARSEMEM instead.

MIPS: Loongson: Disallow 4kB pages

2009-12-01T16:21:26+00:00

Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The possible reason is the cache aliases problem:

Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger
then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem.
To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing.  The 2nd possible
solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for
extra cache flushes.  So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is
solved.

MIPS: Fix build error if __xchg() is not getting inlined.

2009-12-01T16:21:25+00:00

If __xchg() is not getting inlined the outline version of the function
will have a reference to __xchg_called_with_bad_pointer() which does not
exist remaining.  Fixed by using BUILD_BUG_ON() to check for allowable
operand sizes.

MIPS: IP22/IP28 Disable early printk to fix boot problems on some systems.

2009-12-01T16:21:25+00:00

Some Debian users have reported that the kernel hangs early during boot on
some IP22 systems.  Thomas Bogendoerfer found that this is due to a "bad
interaction between CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and overwritten prom memory during
early boot".  Since there's no fix yet, disable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK for now.
