set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask
intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need
for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again
and return BAD_APICID.

Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID
to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return
logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent
bad physical apic id).

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change
If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.

But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across
sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync
test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later.

So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems.
Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in
mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails.

This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems
where TSC is reliable.

Since this patch requires the addition of an assembly file to hold the FIQ

There's no reason for MIPS to select EMBEDDED.  In fact, EMBEDDED makes
MIPS more awkward to deal with because it makes it different to the
majority of architectures for no good reason.

[Ralf: Historically disabling EMBEDDED had hid essential options for many
 MIPS platforms such as serial console and forced crap like VGA support
 or power managment enabled for platforms where those don't make any sense.

 The name of the option is also _very_ missleading so many users don't
 select it even where is was required for a functioning kernel.]

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.

[Ralf: I fixed up all the defconfig files so the stay unaffected by this
change.]

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to
_mcount" from "David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>" have added a new
option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location
of the return address to _mcount.

Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be
easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function,
which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable.

In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in
arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be
enabled, otherwise, no side effect.

and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support
the old gcc versions.

with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location
of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS),
   so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but
   with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what
   we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is
   used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return
   address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it
   when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called
   "ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy
   $12(t0).

(Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the
 idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole
 thing more beautiful!)

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little
different from X86.

in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and
the _mcount's return address(ra) to us.

For the kernel part without -mlong-calls:

move at, ra
jal _mcount

For the module part with -mlong-calls:

lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount
addiu v1, v1, low16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jal _mcount

Without -mlong-calls,

if the function is a leaf, it will not save the return address(ra):

ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>:
ffffffff80101298:       67bdfff0        daddiu  sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8010129c:       ffbe0008        sd      s8,8(sp)
ffffffff801012a0:       03a0f02d        move    s8,sp
ffffffff801012a4:       03e0082d        move    at,ra
ffffffff801012a8:       0c042930        jal     ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff801012ac:       00020021        nop

so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the
return address is saved in the stack.

ffffffff80133030 <copy_process>:
ffffffff80133030:       67bdff50        daddiu  sp,sp,-176
ffffffff80133034:       ffbe00a0        sd      s8,160(sp)
ffffffff80133038:       03a0f02d        move    s8,sp
ffffffff8013303c:       ffbf00a8        sd      ra,168(sp)

ffffffff8013304c:       ffb40080        sd      s4,128(sp)
ffffffff80133050:       ffb30078        sd      s3,120(sp)

ffffffff80133058:       ffb10068        sd      s1,104(sp)
ffffffff8013305c:       ffb00060        sd      s0,96(sp)
ffffffff80133060:       03e0082d        move    at,ra
ffffffff80133064:       0c042930        jal     ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff80133068:       00020021        nop

but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in
_mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space
or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we
can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search
the text instead.

as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a
store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at
register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we
search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset,
and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an
example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus
it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via
writing the &return_to_handler in.

If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move
at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1,
hi16bit_of_mcount".

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.

Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).

In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.

But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile:

MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls.

The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two
different type of calling to _mcount.

For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux"). is like this:

	108:   03e0082d        move    at,ra
	10c:   0c000000        jal     0 <fpcsr_pending>

	110:   00020021        nop

For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this:

	c:	3c030000 	lui	v1,0x0
			c: R_MIPS_HI16	_mcount
			c: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
			c: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
	10:	64630000 	daddiu	v1,v1,0
			10: R_MIPS_LO16	_mcount
			10: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
			10: R_MIPS_NONE	*ABS*
	14:	03e0082d 	move	at,ra
	18:	0060f809 	jalr	v1

In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose
one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with
"R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount".

and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need
to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and
filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop
instruction.

but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.

the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:

	lui	v1,0x0
	addiu	v1,v1,0

If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:

	lui	v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
	addiu	v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller

If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.

Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:

_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
	j	ftrace_stub
	 nop

	...(do real tracing here)...

ftrace_stub:
	jr	ra
	 move	ra, at

By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.

what about filtering job? we just need to do this:

	 lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount        <--> b 1f (0x10000004)
	 addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount
	 move at, ra
	 jalr v1
	 nop
	 				     1f: (rec->ip + 12)

In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.

In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

There is an exisiting common ftrace_test_stop_func() in
kernel/trace/ftrace.c, which is used to check the global variable
ftrace_trace_stop to determine whether stop the function tracing.

This patch implepment the MIPS specific one to speedup the procedure.

Thanks goes to Zhang Le for Cleaning it up.

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.

This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.

and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when
ftracer is enabled.
