<title>MIPS: nofpu and nodsp only affect CPU0</title>

<content type='text'>
The "nofpu" and "nodsp" kernel command line options currently do not
affect CPUs that are brought online later in the boot process or
hotplugged at runtime.  It is desirable to apply the nofpu/nodsp options
to all CPUs in the system, so that surprising results are not seen when
a process migrates from one CPU to another.

[Ralf: Moved definitions of mips_fpu_disabled, fpu_disable,
mips_dsp_disabled and dsp_disable from setup.c to cpu-probe.c to allow
making mips_fpu_disabled and mips_dsp_disabled static.]

The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries
optimized for the current CPU archecture variant.  First we need to allow it
to be set to something other than NULL.  Follow-on patches will set some
values for specific CPUs.

GLIBC already does the right thing.  The kernel just needs to supply good
data.

For processors that have more than 64 TLBs, we need to decode both
config1 and config4 to determine the total number TLBs.

The patch that adds cpu_probe_vmbits is erroneously writing to reserved
bit 12.  Since we are really only probing high bits, don't write this bit
with a one.

Loongson 2F supports CPU clock scaling. When put it into wait mode by
setting the frequency as ZERO it will stay in this mode until an external
interrupt wakes the CPU again.

To enable clock scaling support, an external timer of a known stable rate
is required.
