A new born thread starts execution not in schedule but rather in
ret_from_fork which results in it bypassing the part of the code to
load a new context written in C which are the DSP context and the
userlocal register which Linux uses for the TLS pointer. Frequently
we were just getting away with this bug for a number of reasons:
o Real world application scenarios are very unlikely to use clone or fork
in blocks of DSP code.
o Linux by default runs the child process right after the fork, so the
child by luck will find all the right context in the DSP and userlocal
registers.
o So far the rdhwr instruction was emulated on all hardware so userlocal
wasn't getting referenced at all and the emulation wasn't suffering
from the issue since it gets it's value straight from the thread's
thread_info.
Fixed by moving the code to load the context from switch_to() to
finish_arch_switch which will be called by newborn and old threads.

Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore
systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but
VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels.
SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that
users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix
the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into
the generic CPU probe.

This avoids us executing an mfc0 c0_count instruction on processors which
don't have but also on certain R4000 and R4400 versions where reading from
the count register just in the very moment when its value equals
c0_compare will result in the timer interrupt getting lost.
There is still a number of users of get_cycles remaining outside the
arch code:
crypto/tcrypt.c: start = get_cycles();
crypto/tcrypt.c: end = get_cycles();
crypto/tcrypt.c: start = get_cycles();
crypto/tcrypt.c: end = get_cycles();
crypto/tcrypt.c: start = get_cycles();
crypto/tcrypt.c: end = get_cycles();
drivers/char/hangcheck-timer.c: return get_cycles();
drivers/char/hangcheck-timer.c: printk("Hangcheck: Using get_cycles().\n");
drivers/char/random.c: sample.cycles = get_cycles();
drivers/input/joystick/analog.c:#define GET_TIME(x) do { x = get_cycles(); }
include/linux/arcdevice.h: _x = get_cycles(); \
include/linux/arcdevice.h: _y = get_cycles(); \
mm/slub.c: if (!s->defrag_ratio || get_cycles() % 1024 > s->defrag_ratio)
mm/slub.c: p += 64 + (get_cycles() & 0xff) * sizeof(void *);

The Jazz machines have to use the PIT timer for dyntick and highresolution
kernels. This may break because currently just like i386 used to do MIPS
uses two separate spinlocks in the actual PIT code and the PC speaker
code. So switch to do it the same that x86 currently does PIT locking.

This is the clock rate of the i8253 PIT. A MIPS system may not have
a PIT by the symbol is used all over the kernel including some APIs.
So keeping it defined to the number for the PIT is the only sane thing
for now.

Convert jmr3927_clock_event_device to more generic
txx9tmr_clock_event_device which supports one-shot mode. The
txx9tmr_clock_event_device can be used for TX49 too if the cp0 timer
interrupt was not available.
Convert jmr3927_hpt_read to txx9_clocksource driver which does not
depends jiffies anymore. The txx9_clocksource itself can be used for
TX49, but normally TX49 uses higher precision clocksource_mips.

The BCM148 has 4 cores but there are also just 4 generic timers available
so use the ZBbus cycle counter instead of it. In addition the ZBbus
counter also offers a much higher resolution and 64-bit counting so I'm
considering a later complete conversion to it once I figure out if all
members of the Sibyte SOC family support it - the docs seem to agree but
the headers files seem to disagree ...

Add a Kconfig entry which will toggle some sanity checks on the sg

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
NULL when passed such an entry.
It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.

cycles_per_jiffy was only ever getting assigned and the function pointer
not being called anymore and mips_timer_ack had gotten similarly stale. I
leave the remaining assignments unfixed as a lighthouse pointing platform
maintainers to what needs a rewrite. These changes make null_timer_ack()
unreferenced, so delete that too.

dma_cache_(wback|inv|wback_inv) were the earliest attempt on a generalized
cache managment API for I/O purposes. Originally it was basically the raw
MIPS low level cache API exported to the entire world. The API has
suffered from a lack of documentation, was not very widely used unlike it's
more modern brothers and can easily be replaced by dma_cache_sync. So
remove it rsp. turn the surviving bits back into an arch private API, as
discussed on linux-arch.

Remove the __STRICT_ANSI__ check from the __u64/__s64 declaration on
32bit targets.
GCC can be made to warn about usage of long long types with ISO C90
(-ansi), but only with -pedantic. You can write this in a way that even
then it doesn't cause warnings, namely by:
#ifdef __GNUC__
__extension__ typedef __signed__ long long __s64;
__extension__ typedef unsigned long long __u64;
#endif
The __extension__ keyword in front of this switches off any pedantic
warnings for this expression.
