[MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workarounds This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds. They include compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions. Changes included are as follows: 1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary. 2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as horribly intrusive for little gain). 3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it. On the other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to have been initialised (and is there mainly for information). 4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers. 5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly. Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards). The -mfix-r4000 and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

[PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.
