  • Use unsigned loads to avoid possible misscalculation of IP checksums. This
    bug was instruced in f761106cd728bcf65b7fe161b10221ee00cf7132 (lmo) /
    ed99e2bc1dc5dc54eb5a019f4975562dbef20103 (kernel.org).

    [Original fix by Atsushi. Improved instruction scheduling and fix for
    unaligned unsigned load by me -- Ralf]

  • These symbols appear in oprofile output, stacktraces and similar but only
    make the output harder to read. Many identical symbol names such as
    "both_aligned" were also being used in multiple source files making it
    impossible to see which file actually was meant. So let's get rid of them.

  • This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds
    bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten
    assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register
    as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li
    and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used
    explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected,
    using the .set at= feature added recently to gas. This feature is
    only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the
    workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays
    unchanged.

    Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder
    fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to
    reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of
    scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).

    Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not
    possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.

    Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the
    TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.
    These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the
    run time.

    Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in
    a branch delay slot.

  • The 32-bit version and 64-bit version are almost equal. Unify them. This
    makes further improvements (for example, copying with parallel, supporting
    PREFETCH, etc.) easier.
