MIPS: Move identification of VP(E) into proc.c from smp-mt.c

2016-10-04T14:13:57Z

The addition of VPE information to /proc/cpuinfo used to be in smp-mt.c. This file is not used by MIPS r6 kernels, so the Virtual Processor information was not present for these CPU types. Move the code to print VPE information into proc.c, add a case for MIPS r6 CPUS, and remove the block from smp-mt.c.

MIPS: Detect DSP v3 support

2016-05-13T12:01:57Z

DSPv3 is supported on all MIPSr6 systems which indicate support for DSPv2. This doesn't require any changes to the kernel's handling of DSP resources. The patch is to detect support and indicate it in /proc/cpuinfo DSP v3 introduces a new instruction BPOSGE32C Signed-off-by: Zubair Lutfullah Kakakhel Reviewed-by: Paul Burton Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/12918/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

MIPS: Add support for XPA.

2015-03-19T16:39:49Z

Add support for extended physical addressing (XPA) so that 32-bit platforms can access equal to or greater than 40 bits of physical addresses. NOTE: 1) XPA and EVA are not the same and cannot be used simultaneously. 2) If you configure your kernel for XPA, the PTEs and all address sizes become 64-bit. 3) Your platform MUST have working HIGHMEM support.

Revert "MIPS: MT: proc: Add support for printing VPE and TC ids"

2014-05-12T22:29:33Z

Reverts commit 795038a6910937fa167d47f6f6183db0eb8fb706 because d6d3c9afaab47418ab2d7f874fb8aeac1f067104 provides the same functionality in a more generic way. Both patches applied however means that the VPE and TC IDs get printed twice currently.

MIPS: MT: proc: Add support for printing VPE and TC ids

2014-03-31T16:17:12Z

And there are more CPUs or configurations that want to provide special per-CPU information in /proc/cpuinfo. So I think there needs to be a hook mechanism, such as a notifier. This is a first cut only; I need to think about what sort of looking the notifier needs to have. But I'd appreciate testing on MT hardware!

MIPS: Detect the MSA ASE

2014-03-26T22:09:10Z

This patch adds support for probing the MSAP bit within the Config3 register in order to detect the presence of the MSA ASE. Presence of the ASE will be indicated in /proc/cpuinfo. The value of the MSA implementation register will be displayed at boot to aid debugging and verification of a correct setup, as is done for the FPU.
