fb2155e3c3 MIPS: smp-cps: Fix retrieval of VPE mask on big endian CPUs
The vpe_mask member of struct core_boot_config is of type atomic_t,
which is a 32bit type. In cps-vec.S this member was being retrieved by a
PTR_L macro, which on 64bit systems is a 64bit load. On little endian
systems this is OK, since the double word that is retrieved will have
the required less significant word in the correct position. However, on
big endian systems the less significant word of the load is retrieved
from address+4, and the more significant from address+0. The destination
register therefore ends up with the required word in the more
significant word
e.g. when starting the second VP of a big endian 64bit system, the load

PTR_L    ta2, COREBOOTCFG_VPEMASK(a0)

ends up setting register ta2 to 0x0000000300000000

When this value is written to the CPC it is ignored, since it is
invalid to write anything larger than 4 bits. This results in any VP
other than VP0 in a core failing to start in 64bit big endian systems.

Change the load to a 32bit load word instruction to fix the bug.

63a8802f4f MIPS: CPS: Copy EVA configuration when starting secondary VPs.
When starting secondary VPEs which support EVA and the SegCtl registers,
copy the memory segmentation configuration from the running VPE to ensure
that all VPEs in the core have a consistent virtual memory map.

The EVA configuration of secondary cores is dealt with when starting the
core via the CM.

6609ccdc85 MIPS: smp-cps: Stop printing EJTAG exceptions to UART
When CONFIG_MIPS_CPS_NS16550 is enabled, some register state is dumped
to the UART when an exception is taken via the BEV on secondary cores.
EJTAG exceptions are architecturally expected to be handled by the BEV
even when Status.BEV is 0. This effectively means that if userland
executes an sdbbp instruction on a secondary core then the kernel dumps
register state to the UART even though the exception is perfectly normal
& expected. Prevent this by simply not dumping information to the UART
for EJTAG exceptions.

5a3e7c02d8 MIPS: smp-cps: Support MIPSr6 Virtual Processors
Introduce support for bringing up Virtual Processors in MIPSr6 systems
as CPUs, much like their VPE parallel from the now-deprecated MT ASE.
The existing mips_cps_boot_vpes function fits the MIPSr6 architecture
pretty well - it can now simply write the mask of running VPs to the
VC_RUN register, rather than looping through each & starting or stopping
as appropriate as is done for VPEs from the MT ASE. Thus the VP support
is in general an extension & simplification of the existing MT ASE VPE
(aka SMVP) support.

87a70bcdb4 MIPS: smp-cps: Skip core setup if coherent
In preparation for supporting MIPSr6 multithreading (ie. VPs) which will
begin execution from the core reset vector, skip core level setup if the
core is already coherent. This is never the case when a core is first
started, since boot_core explicitly clears the cores GCR_Cx_COH_EN
register, and always the case when secondary VPs start since the first
VP to start will have enabled coherence after initialising the core &
its caches.

One notable side effect of this patch is that eva_init gets called
slightly earlier, prior to mips_cps_core_init rather than after it.

f3575e230c MIPS: CPS: drop .set mips64r2 directives
Commit 977e043d5e ("MIPS: kernel: cps-vec: Replace mips32r2 ISA level
with mips64r2") leads to .set mips64r2 directives being present in 32
bit (ie. CONFIG_32BIT=y) kernels. This is incorrect & leads to MIPS64
instructions being emitted by the assembler when expanding
pseudo-instructions. For example the "move" instruction can legitimately
be expanded to a "daddu". This causes problems when the kernel is run on
a MIPS32 CPU, as CONFIG_32BIT kernels of course often are...

Fix this by dropping the .set <ISA> directives entirely now that Kconfig
should be ensuring that kernels including this code are built with a
suitable -march= compiler flag.

9099651118 MIPS: CPS: use 32b accesses to GCRs
Commit b677bc03d7 ("MIPS: cps-vec: Use macros for various arithmetics

through cps-vec.S with the PTR_L & PTR_S macros. However it was somewhat
overzealous in doing so for CM GCR accesses, since the bit width of the
CM doesn't necessarily match that of the CPU. The registers accessed
(GCR_CL_COHERENCE & GCR_CL_ID) should be safe to simply always access
using 32b instructions, so do so in order to avoid issues when using a
32b CM with a 64b CPU.

3179d37ee1 MIPS: pm-cps: add PM state entry code for CPS systems
This patch adds code to generate entry & exit code for various low power
states available on systems based around the MIPS Coherent Processing
System architecture (ie. those with a Coherence Manager, Global
Interrupt Controller & for >=CM2 a Cluster Power Controller). States
supported are:

  - Non-coherent wait. This state first leaves the coherent domain and
    then executes a regular MIPS wait instruction. Power savings are
    found from the elimination of coherency interventions between the
    core and any other coherent requestors in the system.

  - Clock gated. This state leaves the coherent domain and then gates
    the clock input to the core. This removes all dynamic power from the
    core but leaves the core at the mercy of another to restart its
    clock. Register state is preserved, but the core can not service
    interrupts whilst its clock is gated.

  - Power gated. This deepest state removes all power input to the core.
    All register state is lost and the core will restart execution from
    its BEV when another core powers it back up. Because register state
    is lost this state requires cooperation with the CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP
    implementation in order for the core to exit the state successfully.

The code will detect which states are available on the current system
during boot & generate the entry/exit code for those states. This will
be used by cpuidle & hotplug implementations.

245a7868d2 MIPS: smp-cps: rework core/VPE initialisation
When hotplug and/or a powered down idle state are supported cases will
arise where a non-zero VPE must be brought online without VPE 0, and it
where multiple VPEs must be onlined simultaneously. This patch prepares
for that by:

  - Splitting struct boot_config into core & VPE boot config structures,
    allocated one per core or VPE respectively. This allows for multiple
    VPEs to be onlined simultaneously without clobbering each others
    configuration.

  - Indicating which VPEs should be online within a core at any given
    time using a bitmap. This allows multiple VPEs to be brought online
    simultaneously and also indicates to VPE 0 whether it should halt
    after starting any non-zero VPEs that should be online within the
    core. For example if all VPEs within a core are offlined via hotplug
    and the user onlines the second VPE within that core:

      1) The core will be powered up.

      2) VPE 0 will run from the BEV (ie. mips_cps_core_entry) to
         initialise the core.

      3) VPE 0 will start VPE 1 because its bit is set in the cores
         bitmap.

      4) VPE 0 will halt itself because its bit is clear in the cores
         bitmap.

  - Moving the core & VPE initialisation to assembly code which does not
    make any use of the stack. This is because if a non-zero VPE is to
    be brought online in a powered down core then when VPE 0 of that
    core runs it may not have a valid stack, and even if it did then
    it's messy to run through parts of generic kernel code on VPE 0
    before starting the correct VPE.

0ee958e102 MIPS: Coherent Processing System SMP implementation
This patch introduces a new SMP implementation for systems implementing
the MIPS Coherent Processing System architecture. The kernel will make
use of the Coherence Manager, Cluster Power Controller & Global
Interrupt Controller in order to detect, bring up & make use of other
cores in the system. SMTC is not supported, so only a single TC per VPE
in the system is used. That is, this option enables an SMVP style setup
but across multiple cores.
