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.

The warnings are benign and good code is produced regardless because no
macros that'd use the assembler's temporary register are involved, however
the `.set noat' directives removed by the commit referred are crucial to
guarantee this is still going to be the case after any changes in the
future. Therefore they need to be brought back to place which this
change does.

With CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS enabled __delay assembles with a macro in a
branch delay slot:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:

and broken code results:

Consequently the function loops indefinitely, showing up prominently as a
hang in the delay loop calibration at bootstrap.
This change corrects the problem by forcing the immediate 1 into a
register while keeping code produced identical where CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS
is disabled.

In preparation for EVA support, we use a macro to build the
__csum_partial_copy_user main code so it can be shared across
multiple implementations. EVA uses the same code but it replaces
the load/store/prefetch instructions with the EVA specific ones
therefore using a macro avoids unnecessary code duplications.

Each load/store macro always adds an entry to the __ex_table
using the EXC macro. There are cases where a load instruction may
never fail such as when we are sure the load happens in the kernel
address space. Therefore, we merge these the EXC and LOADX/STOREX
macros into a single one. We also expand the argument list in the EXC
macro to make the macro more flexible. The extra 'type' argument is not
used by this commit, but it will be used when EVA support is added to
memcpy.

The 'copy_user' symbol can be used to copy from or to
userland so we will use two different symbols for these
operations. This makes no difference in the existing code,
but when the core is operating in EVA mode, different instructions
need to be used to read and write to userland address space.
The old function has also been renamed to 'copy_kernel' to denote
that it is suitable for copy data to and from kernel space.

Add copy_{to,from,in}_user when the CPU operates in EVA mode.
This is necessary so the EVA specific instructions can be used
to perform the virtual to physical translation for user space
addresses. We will use the non-EVA functions to read from kernel
if needed.

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives
and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a
left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to
code getting copied from one driver to the next.

Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6320/
commit 3747069b25e419f6b51395f48127e9812abc3596 upstream.
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
and are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
the arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
related content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get
rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.
Here, we remove all the MIPS __cpuinit from C code and __CPUINIT
from asm files. MIPS is interesting in this respect, because there
are also uasm users hiding behind their own renamed versions of the
__cpuinit macros.
