Calculate the MIPS clockevent device's min_delta_ns dynamically based on
the time it takes to perform the mips_next_event() sequence.
Virtualisation in particular makes the current fixed min_delta of 0x300
inappropriate under some circumstances, as the CP0_Count and CP0_Compare
registers may be being emulated by the hypervisor, and the frequency may
not correspond directly to the CPU frequency.
We actually use twice the median of multiple 75th percentiles of
multiple measurements of how long the mips_next_event() sequence takes,
in order to fairly efficiently eliminate outliers due to unexpected
hypervisor latency (which would need handling with retries when it
occurs during normal operation anyway).

Weak header file declarations are error-prone because they make every
definition weak, and the linker chooses one based on link order (see
10629d711e ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node
decl")).
get_c0_compare_int() is defined in several files. Each definition is weak,
so I assume Kconfig prevents two or more from being included. The caller
contains default code used when get_c0_compare_int() isn't defined at all.
Add a weak get_c0_compare_int() definition with the default code and remove
the weak annotation from the declaration.
Then the platform implementations will be strong and will override the weak
default. If multiple platforms are ever configured in, we'll get a link
error instead of calling a random platform's implementation.

The cevt-r4k driver used to call into the GIC driver to find whether the
timer was pending, but only with External Interrupt Controller (EIC)
mode, where the Cause.IP bits can't be used as they encode the interrupt
priority level (Cause.RIPL) instead.
However commit e9de688dac ("irqchip: mips-gic: Support local
interrupts") changed the condition from cpu_has_veic to gic_present.
This fails on cores such as P5600 which have a GIC but the local
interrupts aren't routable by the GIC, causing c0_compare_int_usable()
to consider the interrupt unusable so r4k_clockevent_init() fails.
The previous behaviour, added in commit 98b67c37db ("MIPS: Add EIC
support for GIC."), wasn't really correct either as far as I can tell,
since P5600 apparently supports EIC mode too, and in any case the use of
Cause.TI with r2 should have been sufficient anyway since commit
010c108d7a ("MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for timer interrupts with > 64
external IRQs").
Therefore drop the call into the gic driver altogether, and add a
comment in c0_compare_int_pending() to clarify that Cause.TI does get
checked since MIPS r2.

The MIPS GIC supports 7 local interrupts, 2 of which are the GIC
local watchdog and count/compare timer. The remainder are CPU
interrupts which may optionally be re-routed through the GIC.
GIC hardware IRQs 0-6 are now used for local interrupts while
hardware IRQs 7+ are used for external (shared) interrupts.
Note that the 5 CPU interrupts may not be re-routable through
the GIC. In that case mapping will fail and the vectors reported
in C0_IntCtl should be used instead. gic_get_c0_compare_int() and
gic_get_c0_perfcount_int() will return the correct IRQ number to
use for the C0 timer and perfcounter interrupts based on the
routability of those interrupts through the GIC.
A separate irq_chip, with callbacks that mask/unmask the local
interrupt on all CPUs, is used for the C0 timer and performance
counter interrupts since all other platforms do not use the percpu
IRQ API for those interrupts.
Malta, SEAD-3, and the GIC clockevent driver have been updated
to use local interrupts and the R4K clockevent driver has been
updated to poll for C0 timer interrupts through the GIC when
the GIC is present.

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.

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 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 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.
