For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI. Due to the sparse use of the address
space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses
below 1GB. If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will
not be able to reach all of it.
For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems
eventually something like swiotlb will be needed for Sibyte.

In particular as-is it's not suited for multicore and mutiprocessors
systems where there is on guarantee that the counter are synchronized
or running from the same clock at all. This broke Sibyte and probably
others since the "[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register."

The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read
in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will
be generated.
This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as
clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple
workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the
affected CPUs.
This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents;
at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented
and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions
exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0
available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken.
This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent
clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to
another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.
The LL / SC loops in __futex_atomic_op() have the usual fixups necessary
for memory acccesses to userspace from kernel space installed:
__asm__ __volatile__(
" .set push \n"
" .set noat \n"
" .set mips3 \n"
"1: ll %1, %4 # __futex_atomic_op \n"
" .set mips0 \n"
" " insn " \n"
" .set mips3 \n"
"2: sc $1, %2 \n"
" beqz $1, 1b \n"
__WEAK_LLSC_MB
"3: \n"
" .set pop \n"
" .set mips0 \n"
" .section .fixup,\"ax\" \n"
"4: li %0, %6 \n"
" j 2b \n" <-----
" .previous \n"
" .section __ex_table,\"a\" \n"
" "__UA_ADDR "\t1b, 4b \n"
" "__UA_ADDR "\t2b, 4b \n"
" .previous \n"
: "=r" (ret), "=&r" (oldval), "=R" (*uaddr)
: "0" (0), "R" (*uaddr), "Jr" (oparg), "i" (-EFAULT)
: "memory");
The branch at the end of the fixup code, it goes back to the SC
instruction, no matter if the fault was first taken by the LL or SC
instruction resulting in an endless loop which will only terminate if
the address become valid again due to another thread setting up an
accessible mapping and the CPU happens to execute the SC instruction
successfully which due to the preceeding ERET instruction of the fault
handler would only happen if UNPREDICTABLE instruction behaviour of the
SC instruction without a preceeding LL happens to favor that outcome.
But normally processes are nice, pass valid arguments and we were just
getting away with this.
Thanks to Kaz Kylheku <kaz@zeugmasystems.com> for providing the original
report and a test case.

A new born thread starts execution not in schedule but rather in
ret_from_fork which results in it bypassing the part of the code to
load a new context written in C which are the DSP context and the
userlocal register which Linux uses for the TLS pointer. Frequently
we were just getting away with this bug for a number of reasons:
o Real world application scenarios are very unlikely to use clone or fork
in blocks of DSP code.
o Linux by default runs the child process right after the fork, so the
child by luck will find all the right context in the DSP and userlocal
registers.
o So far the rdhwr instruction was emulated on all hardware so userlocal
wasn't getting referenced at all and the emulation wasn't suffering
from the issue since it gets it's value straight from the thread's
thread_info.
Fixed by moving the code to load the context from switch_to() to
finish_arch_switch which will be called by newborn and old threads.
