2015-11-11MIPS: CPS: Early debug using an ns16550-compatible UARTPaul Burton1-0/+26
Provide support for outputting early debug information, in the form of various register values should an exception occur, during the early bringup of secondary cores. This code requires an ns16550-compatible UART accessible from the secondary core, and is written in assembly due to the environment in which such early exceptions occur where way may not have a stack, be coherent or even have initialised caches.

2015-10-26MIPS: Allow compact branch policy to be changedPaul Burton1-0/+36
When debugging it can be helpful to change the policy for compiler use of MIPSr6 compact branches, in order to rule out or home in on their involvement in bugs. Allow the GCC -mcompact-branches= flag to be set via Kconfig under the "Kernel hacking" menu.

2015-02-17MIPS: kernel: elf: Improve the overall ABI and FPU mode checksMarkos Chandras1-13/+0
The previous implementation did not cover all possible FPU combinations and it silently allowed ABI incompatible objects to be loaded with the wrong ABI. For example, the previous logic would set the FP_64 ABI as the matching ABI for an FP_XX object combined with an FP_64A object. This was wrong, and the matching ABI should have been FP_64A. The previous logic is now replaced with a new one which determines the appropriate FPU mode to be used rather than the FP ABI. This has the advantage that the entire logic is much simpler since it is the FPU mode we are interested in rather than the FP ABI resulting to code simplifications. This also removes the now obsolete FP32XX_HYBRID_FPRS option.

2014-11-24MIPS: Kconfig option to better exercise/debug hybrid FPRsPaul Burton1-0/+13
The hybrid FPR scheme exists to allow for compatibility between existing FP32 code and newly compiled FP64A code. Such code should hopefully be rare in the real world, and for the moment is difficult to come across. All code except that built for the FP64 ABI can correctly execute using the hybrid FPR scheme, so debugging the hybrid FPR implementation can be eased by forcing all such code to use it. This is undesirable in general due to the trap & emulate overhead of the hybrid FPR implementation, but is a very useful option to have for debugging.

2014-05-24MIPS: MT: Remove SMTC supportRalf Baechle1-9/+0
Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase. Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D. Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT ASE's power and elegance. Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to merge once upon a time.

2013-07-04consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging optionsDave Hansen1-9/+0
Original posting: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options. They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly differing help text. This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: H.

2011-05-25lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE optionStephen Boyd1-9/+0
Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is already used in generic code. It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by keeping the most inclusive wording.

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes1-1/+1
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks. The main reason I wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous patch. To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run time do: # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get spin_single spin_multi base 106885 247941 spinlock_patch 75194 219465 This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41% improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).

2009-12-17MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command lineDmitri Vorobiev1-4/+41
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.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
