2009-09-17MIPS: Allow kernel use of LL/SC to be separate from the presence of LL/SC.David Daney
On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in asm/futex.h). We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex code to use it. Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

2009-06-17MIPS: Allow CPU specific overriding of CP0 hwrena impl bits.David Daney
Some CPUs have implementation dependent rdhwr registers. Allow them to be enabled on a per CPU basis. Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2009-06-17MIPS: Allow R2 CPUs to turn off generation of 'ehb' instructions.David Daney
Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers. By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB handler hot paths.

2009-05-14MIPS: Enable CLO / CLZ instructions via separate CPU propertyRalf Baechle
This is useful for IDT RC32332, RC32334 and NEC VR5500 processors which do not implement the full MIPS32 / MIPS64 architecture. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
