      MIPS: Probe for MIPS MT perf counters per TC · 8270ab48
      Matt Redfearn 提交于
      Processors implementing the MIPS MT ASE may have performance counters
      implemented per core or per TC. Processors implemented by MIPS
      Technologies signify presence per TC through a bit in the implementation
      specific Config7 register. Currently the code which probes for their
      presence blindly reads a magic number corresponding to this bit, despite
      it potentially having a different meaning in the CPU implementation.
      
      Since CPU features are generally detected by cpu-probe.c, perform the
      detection here instead. Introduce cpu_set_mt_per_tc_perf which checks
      the bit in config7 and call it from MIPS CPUs known to implement this
      bit and the MT ASE, specifically, the 34K, 1004K and interAptiv.
      
      Once the presence of the per-tc counter is indicated in cpu_data, tests
      for it can be updated to use this flag.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      MIPS: Remove unused R6000 support · 3b2db173
      Paul Burton 提交于
      The kernel contains a small amount of incomplete code aimed at
      supporting old R6000 CPUs. This is:
      
        - Unused, as no machine selects CONFIG_SYS_HAS_CPU_R6000.
      
        - Broken, since there are glaring errors such as r6000_fpu.S moving
          the FCSR register to t1, then ignoring it & instead saving t0 into
          struct sigcontext...
      
        - A maintenance headache, since it's code that nobody can test which
          nevertheless imposes constraints on code which it shares with other
          machines.
      
      Remove this incomplete & broken R6000 CPU support in order to clean up
      and in preparation for changes which will no longer need to consider
      dragging the pretense of R6000 support along with them.

      MIPS: Probe the I6500 CPU · 859aeb1b
      Paul Burton 提交于
      Introduce the I6500 PRID & probe it just the same way as I6400. The MIPS
      I6500 is the latest in Imagination Technologies' I-Class range of CPUs,
      with a focus on scalability & heterogeneity. It introduces the notion of
      multiple clusters to the MIPS Coherent Processing System, allowing for a
      far higher total number of cores & threads in a system when compared
      with its predecessors. Clusters don't need to be identical, and may
      contain differing numbers of cores & IOCUs, or cores with differing
      properties.
      
      This patch alone adds the basic support for booting Linux on an I6500
      CPU without support for any of its new functionality, for which support
      will be introduced in further patches.

      MIPS: R12000: Enable branch prediction global history · 8d5ded16
      Joshua Kinard 提交于
      The R12000 added a new feature to enhance branch prediction called
      "global history".  Per the Vr10000 Series User Manual (U10278EJ4V0UM),
      Coprocessor 0, Diagnostic Register (22):
      
      """
      If bit 26 is set, branch prediction uses all eight bits of the global
      history register.  If bit 26 is not set, then bits 25:23 specify a count
      of the number of bits of global history to be used. Thus if bits 26:23
      are all zero, global history is disabled.
      
      The global history contains a record of the taken/not-taken status of
      recently executed branches, and when used is XOR'ed with the PC of a
      branch being predicted to produce a hashed value for indexing the BPT.
      Some programs with small "working set of conditional branches" benefit
      significantly from the use of such hashing, some see slight performance
      degradation.
      """
      
      This patch enables global history on R12000 CPUs and up by setting bit
      26 in the branch prediction diagnostic register (CP0 $22) to '1'.  Bits
      25:23 are left alone so that all eight bits of the global history
      register are available for branch prediction.
