Maciej W. Rozycki c49f71f607 MIPS: Reinstate platform `__div64_32' handler 
Our current MIPS platform `__div64_32' handler is inactive, because it
is incorrectly only enabled for 64-bit configurations, for which generic
`do_div' code does not call it anyway.

The handler is not suitable for being called from there though as it
only calculates 32 bits of the quotient under the assumption the 64-bit
divident has been suitably reduced.  Code for such reduction used to be
there, however it has been incorrectly removed with commit c21004cd5b
("MIPS: Rewrite <asm/div64.h> to work with gcc 4.4.0."), which should
have only updated an obsoleted constraint for an inline asm involving
$hi and $lo register outputs, while possibly wiring the original MIPS
variant of the `do_div' macro as `__div64_32' handler for the generic
`do_div' implementation

Correct the handler as follows then:

- Revert most of the commit referred, however retaining the current
  formatting, except for the final two instructions of the inline asm
  sequence, which the original commit missed.  Omit the original 64-bit
  parts though.

- Rename the original `do_div' macro to `__div64_32'.  Use the combined
  `x' constraint referring to the MD accumulator as a whole, replacing
  the original individual `h' and `l' constraints used for $hi and $lo
  registers respectively, of which `h' has been obsoleted with GCC 4.4.
  Update surrounding code accordingly.

  We have since removed support for GCC versions before 4.9, so no need
  for a special arrangement here; GCC has supported the `x' constraint
  since forever anyway, or at least going back to 1991.

- Rename the `__base' local variable in `__div64_32' to `__radix' to
  avoid a conflict with a local variable in `do_div'.

- Actually enable this code for 32-bit rather than 64-bit configurations
  by qualifying it with BITS_PER_LONG being 32 instead of 64.  Include
  <asm/bitsperlong.h> for this macro rather than <linux/types.h> as we
  don't need anything else.

- Finally include <asm-generic/div64.h> last rather than first.

This has passed correctness verification with test_div64 and reduced the
module's average execution time down to 1.0668s and 0.2629s from 2.1529s
and 0.5647s respectively for an R3400 CPU @40MHz and a 5Kc CPU @160MHz.
For a reference 64-bit `do_div' code where we have the DDIVU instruction
available to do the whole calculation right away averages at 0.0660s for
the latter CPU.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
