The ebase is relative to CKSEG0 not CAC_BASE. On a 32-bit kernel they
are the same thing, for a 64-bit kernel they are not.
It happens to kind of work on a 64-bit kernel as they both reference
the same physical memory. However since the CPU uses the CKSEG0 base,
determining if a J instruction will reach always gives the wrong result
unless we use the same number the CPU uses.

This is a follow on to the vdso patch.
Since all processes now have signal trampolines permanently mapped, we
can use those instead of putting the trampoline on the stack and
invalidating the corresponding icache across all CPUs. We also get rid
of a bunch of ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR code.
[Ralf: GDB 7.1 which has the necessary modifications to allow backtracing
over signal frames will supposedly be released tomorrow. The old signal
frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane
processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. So
there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames
on all MIPS systems. This convinved me this series should be applied and
pushed upstream as soon as possible.]

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still
missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to
allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation
of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.
We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
mapped into this space.

Like x86 did in arch/x86/kernel/{process_32.c,process_64.c}, also don't
trace irqsoff for idle.
If there's no useful work to be done, we don't care about the irqsoff
duration. If we trace the idle process, the max duration of irqsoff will
be the idle time and make the irqsoff tracer useless.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Add a generic implementation of the ipc demultiplexer syscall. Except for
s390 and sparc64 all implementations of the sys_ipc are nearly identical.
There are slight differences in the types of the parameters, where mips
and powerpc as the only 64-bit architectures with sys_ipc use unsigned
long for the "third" argument as it gets casted to a pointer later, while
it traditionally is an "int" like most other paramters. frv goes even
further and uses unsigned long for all parameters execept for "ptr" which
is a pointer type everywhere. The change from int to unsigned long for
"third" and back to "int" for the others on frv should be fine due to the
in-register calling conventions for syscalls (we already had a similar
issue with the generic sys_ptrace), but I'd prefer to have the arch
maintainers looks over this in details.
Except for that h8300, m68k and m68knommu lack an impplementation of the
semtimedop sub call which this patch adds, and various architectures have
gets used - at least on i386 it seems superflous as the compat code on
x86-64 and ia64 doesn't even bother to implement it.

The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a
greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific
registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine
which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work.
On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register,
specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses
that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected
to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters
hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore,
using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the
command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and
the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless.
This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible
scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is
currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL
is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line
arguments override the hardcoded ones.

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to
_mcount" from "David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>" have added a new
option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location
of the return address to _mcount.
Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be
easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function,
which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable.
In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in
arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be
enabled, otherwise, no side effect.
and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support
the old gcc versions.
with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location
of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS),
so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but
with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what
we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is
used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return
address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it
when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called
"ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy
$12(t0).
(Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the
idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole
thing more beautiful!)

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little
different from X86.
in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and
the _mcount's return address(ra) to us.
For the kernel part without -mlong-calls:
move at, ra
jal _mcount
For the module part with -mlong-calls:
lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount
addiu v1, v1, low16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jal _mcount
Without -mlong-calls,
if the function is a leaf, it will not save the return address(ra):
ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>:
ffffffff80101298: 67bdfff0 daddiu sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8010129c: ffbe0008 sd s8,8(sp)
ffffffff801012a0: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff801012a4: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff801012a8: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff801012ac: 00020021 nop
so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the
return address is saved in the stack.

but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in
_mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space
or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we
can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search
the text instead.
as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a
store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at
register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we
search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset,
and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an
example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus
it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via
writing the &return_to_handler in.
If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move
at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1,
hi16bit_of_mcount".

This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq
handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the
__irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block
with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).
Thanks goes to Steven & Frederic Weisbecker for their feedbacks.

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.
Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).
In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.
But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile:
MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls.
The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two
different type of calling to _mcount.
For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux"). is like this:
108: 03e0082d move at,ra
10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending>
10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
110: 00020021 nop
For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this:
c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0
c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0
10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
14: 03e0082d move at,ra
18: 0060f809 jalr v1
In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose
one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with
"R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount".
and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need
to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and
filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop
instruction.
but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.
the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:
lui v1,0x0
addiu v1,v1,0
If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:
lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller
If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.
Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:
_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
j ftrace_stub
nop
...(do real tracing here)...
ftrace_stub:
jr ra
move ra, at
By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.
what about filtering job? we just need to do this:
lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004)
addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jalr v1
nop
1f: (rec->ip + 12)
In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.
In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when
ftracer is enabled.

Loongson 2F supports CPU clock scaling. When put it into wait mode by
setting the frequency as ZERO it will stay in this mode until an external
interrupt wakes the CPU again.
To enable clock scaling support, an external timer of a known stable rate
is required.

This patch adds basic options for MIPS CPUFreq support.
Since the cp0 timer's frequency is based on the processor clockrate it can
not be used with CPUFReq; an additional external timer is required.

let's use it, and remove the alias.
