82622284dd MIPS: Put PGD in C0_CONTEXT for 64-bit R2 processors.
Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions
convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context
into a usable pointer.  By doing this we save a memory load and
associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers.

Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we
move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough
bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.

1b93b3c3e9 MIPS: Add support for GZIP / BZIP2 / LZMA compressed kernel images
This patch helps to generate smaller kernel images for linux-MIPS,

Here is the effect when using lzma:

$ ls -sh vmlinux
7.1M vmlinux
$ ls -sh vmlinuz
1.5M vmlinuz

Have tested the 32bit kernel on Qemu/Malta and 64bit kernel on FuLoong
Mini PC. both of them work well. and also, tested by Alexander Clouter
on an AR7 based Linksys WAG54Gv2, and by Manuel Lauss on an Alchemy
board.

This -v2 version incorporate the feedback from Ralf, and add the
following changes:

1. add .ecoff, .bin, .erec format support
2. only enable it and the debug source code for the machines we tested
3. a dozen of fixups and cleanups

and if you want to enable it for your board, please try to select
SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT for it, and if the board have an 16550 compatible
uart, you can select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 directly. and then
sending the relative patches to Ralf.

f133f22dd6 MIPS: Loongson: Switch from flatmem to sparsemem
With flatmem hibernation for Loongson will fail, and there are also some
other problems such as broken files when using NFS or CIFS / Samba.

The config help of sparsemem says:

"This option provides some potential performance benefits, along with
decreased code complexity."

So to avoid the potential problems of FLATMEM, we disable FLATMEM directly
and use SPARSEMEM instead.

315fe625f8 MIPS: Loongson: Disallow 4kB pages
Currently, with PAGE_SIZE_4KB, the kernel for loongson will hang on:

Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The possible reason is the cache aliases problem:

Loongson 2F has 64kb, 4 way L1 Cache, the way size is 16kb, which is bigger
then 4kb. so, If using 4kb page size, there is cache aliases problem.
To avoid this kind of problem, extra cache flushing.  The 2nd possible
solution is 16kb page size which avoids cache aliases without the need for
extra cache flushes.  So we disable 4kB pages until the aliasing issue is
solved.

2b5e63f6b8 MIPS: IP22/IP28 Disable early printk to fix boot problems on some systems.
Some Debian users have reported that the kernel hangs early during boot on
some IP22 systems.  Thomas Bogendoerfer found that this is due to a "bad
interaction between CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK and overwritten prom memory during
early boot".  Since there's no fix yet, disable CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK for now.

779e7d41ad MIPS: make cp0 counter clocksource/event usable as fallback.
The current mips clock build infrastructure lets a system only use
either the MIPS cp0 counter or a SoC specific timer as a clocksource /
clockevent device.

This patch renames the core cp0 counter clocksource / clockevent functions
from mips_* to r4k_* and updates the wrappers in asm-mips/time.h to
call these renamed functions instead.

Chips which can detect whether it is safe to use a chip-specific timer
can now fall back on the cp0 counter if necessary and possible
(e.g. Alchemy with a follow-on patch).

Existing behaviour is not changed in any way.

dc52ddc0e6 container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystem
This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework.  It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.

The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state.  Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup.  Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.  Reading will return the current state.

* Examples of usage :

   # mkdir /containers/freezer
   # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer  /containers
   # mkdir /containers/0
   # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks

to get status of the freezer subsystem :

   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

to freeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FREEZING
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   FROZEN

to unfreeze all tasks in the container :

   # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
   # cat /containers/0/freezer.state
   RUNNING

This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.

It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete.  In that case we
return EBUSY.  This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time.  After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read.  The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:

	1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
		the freezer.state file
	2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
		the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
		and returns EIO)
	3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
		state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

b06f3e19a6 MIPS: BCM47xx: Use the new SSB GPIO API
This patch simplifies the BCM47xx GPIO code by using the new SSB GPIO
API, which does a lot things that were implemented directly in the
BCM47xx code.
