The CN63XXP1 needs a couple of workarounds to ensure memory is not written
in unexpected ways.
All PREF with hints in the range 0-4,6-24 are replaced with PREF 28. We
pass a flag to the assembler to cover compiler generated code, and patch
uasm for the dynamically generated code.
The write buffer threshold is reduced to 4.

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least. In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch. We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.
By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.
With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.
This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.
f65e4fa8e0 (kernel.org).
Original fix for the issues which caused me to pull this optimization by
Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>.

- use hostprogs-y for the elf2ecoff
- list all *.o file in targets
- renamed obj-y to vmlinuzobjs-y (it was confusing to re-use a kbuild variable)
- fix all uses of if_changed/cmd
- use kbuild rules to beautify output
- update clean-file to clean vmlinuz.* in top-level directory
- simplied logic in arch/mips/Makefile for compressed targets
The net result is a more kbuild conformant Makefile but
readability did not increase.

Move platform specific definitions to the platfrom directories.
Each platform shall do the following:
1) include an entry in arch/mips/Kbuild.platforms
2) add relevant definitions to arch/mips/<platform>/Platform
This commits changes ar7 to the new scheme as an example.
Introducing a platform speecific Platfrom file has following advantages:
1) decentralization of platfrom definitions
2) simplification af arch/mips/Makefile
3) force all platfrom to build with -Werror (done in arch/mips/Kbuild)

It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD
on the command line - which is only used when building modules.
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules
without overriding the original value.
Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on
the command line.
All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.
Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
two assignmnets.
Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to
_mcount" from "David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>" have added a new
option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location
of the return address to _mcount.
Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be
easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function,
which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable.
In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in
arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be
enabled, otherwise, no side effect.
and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support
the old gcc versions.
with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location
of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS),
so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but
with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what
we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is
used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return
address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it
when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called
"ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy
$12(t0).
(Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the
idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole
thing more beautiful!)

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.
This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.
and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when
ftracer is enabled.
