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.

Having the GIC clockevent driver compiled should not prevent the R4K
timer clockevent driver from functioning. One will be selected as the
CPU local timer based upon their priorities and the other may simply be
unused or in the case of the GIC timer may be used as the tick broadcast
device.

The CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_PERCPU flag indicates that a clockevent device is
only configurable by the CPU for which it is registered, and thus cannot
be used as the tick broadcast device. That property is true of the R4K
timer, which is inaccessible from other cores.

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.

Since commit [e58aa3d2: genirq: Run irq handlers with interrupts disabled],
We run all interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled and we even check
and yell when an interrupt handler returns with interrupts enabled (see
commit [b738a50a: genirq: Warn when handler enables interrupts]).
So now this flag is a NOOP and can be removed.

The Kernel hangs occasionally during boot after "Calibrating delay loop..".
This is caused by the c0_compare_int_usable() routine in cevt-r4k.c
returning false which causes the system to disable the timer and hang later.
The false return happens because the routine is using a series of four calls
to irq_disable_hazard() as a delay while it waits for the timer changes to
propagate to the cp0 cause register. On newer MIPS cores, like the 74K, the
series of irq_disable_hazard() calls turn into ehb instructions and can take
as little as a few clock ticks for all 4 instructions. This is not enough of
a delay, so the routine thinks the timer is not working. This fix uses up
to a max number of cycle counter ticks for the delay and uses
back_to_back_c0_hazard() instead of irq_disable_hazard() to handle the
hazard condition between cp0 writes and cp0 reads.

Consider the following test case:
write_c0_compare(read_c0_count());
Even if the counter doesn't increment during execution, this might not
generate an interrupt until the counter wraps around. The CPU may
perform the comparison each time CP0 COUNT increments, not when CP0
COMPARE is written.
If mips_next_event() is called with a very small delta, and CP0 COUNT
increments during the calculation of "cnt += delta", it is possible
that CP0 COMPARE will be written with the current value of CP0 COUNT.
If this is detected, the function should return -ETIME, to indicate
that the interrupt might not have actually gotten scheduled.

The 'mult' element of struct clock_event_device must never be wider
than 32-bits. If it were, it would get truncated when used by
clockevent_delta2ns() when this calls do_div().
We can meet this requirement by using clockevent_set_clock() to set
the MULT and SHIFT values.

The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a
greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific
registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine
which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work.
On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register,
specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses
that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected
to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

The current mips clock build infrastructure lets a system only use
either the MIPS cp0 counter or a SoC specific timer as a clocksource /
clockevent device.
This patch renames the core cp0 counter clocksource / clockevent functions
from mips_* to r4k_* and updates the wrappers in asm-mips/time.h to
call these renamed functions instead.
Chips which can detect whether it is safe to use a chip-specific timer
can now fall back on the cp0 counter if necessary and possible
(e.g. Alchemy with a follow-on patch).
Existing behaviour is not changed in any way.

Rework of SMTC support to make it work with the new clock event system,
allowing "tickless" operation, and to make it compatible with the use of
the "wait_irqoff" idle loop. The new clocking scheme means that the
previously optional IPI instant replay mechanism is now required, and has
been made more robust.

The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read
in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will
be generated.
This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as
clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple
workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the
affected CPUs.
This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents;
at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented
and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions
exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0
available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken.
This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent
clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to
another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.
Try increasingly longer time periods starting of at 0x10 cycles. This
should be fast on hardware and work nicely with emulators.
