The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space. Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.
The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.
For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.
__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.
With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

Some MIPS32R1 processors implement UserLocal (RDHWR $29) to accelerate
programs that make extensive use of thread-local storage. Therefore,
setting up the HWRENA register should not depend on cpu_has_mips_r2.

BMIPS processor cores are used in 50+ different chipsets spread across
5+ product lines. In many cases the chipsets do not share the same
peripheral register layouts, the same register blocks, the same
interrupt controllers, the same memory maps, or much of anything else.
But, across radically different SoCs that share nothing more than the
same BMIPS CPU, a few things are still mostly constant:
SMP operations
Access to performance counters
DMA cache coherency quirks
Cache and memory bus configuration
So, it makes sense to treat each BMIPS processor type as a generic
"building block," rather than tying it to a specific SoC. This makes it
easier to support a large number of BMIPS-based chipsets without
unnecessary duplication of code, and provides the infrastructure needed
to support BMIPS-proprietary features.

This patch adds the mipsxx Perf-events support based on the skeleton.
Generic hardware events and cache events are now fully implemented for
the 24K/34K/74K/1004K cores. To support other cores in mipsxx (such as
R10000/SB1), the generic hardware event tables and cache event tables
need to be filled out. To support other CPUs which have different PMU
than mipsxx, such as RM9000 and LOONGSON2, the additional files
perf_event_$cpu.c need to be created.
Raw event is an important part of Perf-events. It helps the user collect
performance data for events that are not listed as the generic hardware
events and cache events but ARE supported by the CPU's PMU.
This patch also adds this feature for mipsxx 24K/34K/74K/1004K. For how to
use it, please refer to processor core software user's manual and the
comments for mipsxx_pmu_map_raw_event() for more details.
Please note that this is a "precise" implementation, which means the
kernel will check whether the requested raw events are supported by this
CPU and which hardware counters can be assigned for them.
To test the functionality of Perf-event, you may want to compile the tool
"perf" for your MIPS platform. You can refer to the following URL:
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2010-10/msg00126.html
You also need to customize the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in tools/perf/Makefile
for your libs, includes, etc.
In case you encounter the boot failure in SMVP kernel on multi-threading
CPUs, you may take a look at:

create mode 100644 arch/mips/kernel/perf_event_mipsxx.c
This patch provides the skeleton of the HW perf event support. To enable
this feature, we can not choose the SMTC kernel; Oprofile should be
disabled; kernel performance events be selected. Then we can enable it in
Kernel type menu.
Oprofile for MIPS platforms initializes irq at arch init time. Currently
we do not change this logic to allow PMU reservation.
If a platform has EIC, we can use the irq base and perf counter irq offset
defines for the interrupt controller in specific init_hw_perf_events().
Based on this skeleton patch, the 3 different kinds of MIPS PMU, namely,
mipsxx/loongson2/rm9000, can be supported by adding corresponding lower
level C files at the bottom. The suggested names of these files are
perf_event_mipsxx.c/perf_event_loongson2.c/perf_event_rm9000.c. So, for
example, we can do this by adding "#include perf_event_mipsxx.c" at the
bottom of perf_event.c.
In addition, PMUs with 64bit counters are also considered in this patch.

Add support for Titan TNETV1050,1055,1056,1060 variants. This SoC is almost
completely identical to AR7 except on a few points:
- a second bank of gpios is available
- vlynq0 on titan is vlynq1 on ar7
- different PHY addresses for cpmac0
This SoC can be found on commercial products like the Linksys WRTP54G

The OCTEON II SOC has USB EHCI and OHCI controllers connected directly
to the internal I/O bus. This patch adds the necessary 'glue' logic
to allow ehci-hcd and ohci-hcd drivers to work on OCTEON II.
The OCTEON normally runs big-endian, and the ehci/ohci internal
registers have host endianness, so we need to select
USB_EHCI_BIG_ENDIAN_MMIO.
The ehci and ohci blocks share a common clocking and PHY
infrastructure. Initialization of the host controller and PHY clocks
is common between the two and is factored out into the
octeon2-common.c file.
Setting of USB_ARCH_HAS_OHCI and USB_ARCH_HAS_EHCI is done in
arch/mips/Kconfig in a following patch.

The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.
All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28. We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.
The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

Starting with cn63xx Octeon I/O blocks are clocked at a different rate
than the CPU. Add a new function octeon_get_io_clock_rate() that
yields the I/O clock rate.
Also rearrange octeon_get_clock_rate() to get the value from the saved
sysinfo structure.
