2008-09-05[MIPS] Fix WARNING: at kernel/smp.c:290Thomas Bogendoerfer
trap_init issues flush_icache_range(), which uses ipi functions to get icache flushing done on all cpus. But this is done before interrupts are enabled and caused WARN_ON messages. This changeset introduces a new local_flush_icache_range() and uses it before interrupts (and additional CPUs) are enabled to avoid this problem.

2006-12-13[PATCH] Optimize D-cache alias handling on forkRalf Baechle
Virtually index, physically tagged cache architectures can get away without cache flushing when forking. This patch adds a new cache flushing function flush_cache_dup_mm(struct mm_struct *) which for the moment I've implemented to do the same thing on all architectures except on MIPS where it's a no-op.

2006-10-21[MIPS] Fix aliasing bug in copy_to_user_page / copy_from_user_pageRalf Baechle
The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy. This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB virtually unusable. Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines. The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle; Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

2006-09-27[MIPS] Retire flush_icache_page from mm use.Ralf Baechle
On the 34K the redundant cache operations were causing excessive stalls resulting in realtime code running on the second VPE missing its deadline. For all other platforms this patch is just a significant performance improvment as illustrated by below benchmark numbers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
