Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. In the case of
some code where it is modular, we can extend that to also include
files that are building basic support functionality but not related
to loading or registering the final module; such files also have
no need whatsoever for module.h
The advantage in removing such instances is that module.h itself
sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed
cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h might have been the implicit source for init.h
(for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each
instance for the presence of either and replace/add as needed.
Also note that MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE is a no-op for non-modular code.
Build coverage of all the mips defconfigs revealed the module.h
header was masking a couple of implicit include instances, so
we add the appropriate headers there.

When expanding the la or dla pseudo-instruction in a delay slot the GNU
assembler will complain should the pseudo-instruction expand to multiple
actual instructions, since only the first of them will be in the delay
slot leading to the pseudo-instruction being only partially executed if
the branch is taken. Use of PTR_LA in the dec int-handler.S leads to
such warnings:
arch/mips/dec/int-handler.S: Assembler messages:

Implement a cheap way to count FPU interrupts for R2k/R3k DECstation
systems. Do this manually in handcoded assembly, rather than calling
`kstat_incr_irq_this_cpu' that would require setting up a stack frame
and a lot of redirection. This is not going to be a problem because the
FPU interrupt is local to the CPU and also there is one CPU only anyway.
So at bootstrap determine the address of the correct location within
`struct irq_desc', and then only refer to it directly in the interrupt
handler.

On R4k DECstations the Halt button is wired to the NMI processor input
rather than an ordinary interrupt input such as on R3k DECstations. This
is possible with a different design of the CPU daughtercard that routes
the Halt button line from the baseboard connector. Additionally the
interrupt input has been reused for a different purpose on the KN04 and
KN05 R4k CPU daughtercards so it is better kept masked.

Commit 231a35d372 [[MIPS] RM: Collected
changes] broke DECstation support by introducing an incompatible copy of
arch/mips/dec/prom/call_o32.S in arch/mips/fw/lib/, built unconditionally.
The copy happens to land earlier of the two among the modules used in the
link and is therefore chosen for the DECstation rather than the intended
original. As a result random kernel data is corrupted because a pointer
to the "%s" formatted output template is used as a temporary stack pointer
rather than being passed down to prom_printf. This also explains why
prom_printf still works, up to a point -- the next argument is the actual
string to output so it works just fine as the output template until enough
kernel data has been corrupted to cause a crash.
This change adjusts the modified wrapper in arch/mips/fw/lib/call_o32.S to
let callers request no stack switching by passing a null temporary stack
pointer in $a1, reworks the DECstation callers to work with the updated
interface and removes the old copy from arch/mips/dec/prom/call_o32.S. A
few minor readability adjustments are included as well, most importantly
O32_SZREG is now used throughout where applicable rather than hardcoded
multiplies of 4 and $fp is used to access the argument save area as a more
usual register to operate the stack with rather than $s0.
Finally an update is made to the temporary stack space used by the SNI
platform to guarantee 8-byte alignment as per o32 requirements.

[MIPS: DEC: Convert to new irq_chip functions] and
5359b938c0 [MIPS: DECstation I/O ASIC DMA
interrupt handling fix] and implements automatic handling of the two
classes of DMA interrupts the I/O ASIC implements, informational and
errors.
Informational DMA interrupts do not stop the transfer and use the
`handle_edge_irq' handler that clears the request right away so that
another request may be recorded while the previous is being handled.
DMA error interrupts stop the transfer and require a corrective action
before DMA can be reenabled. Therefore they use the `handle_fasteoi_irq'
handler that only clears the request on the way out. Because MIPS
processor interrupt inputs, one of which the I/O ASIC's interrupt
controller is cascaded to, are level-triggered it is recommended that
error DMA interrupt action handlers are registered with the IRQF_ONESHOT
flag set so that they are run with the interrupt line masked.
This change removes the export of clear_ioasic_dma_irq that now does not
have to be called by device drivers to clear interrupts explicitly
anymore. Originally these interrupts were cleared in the .end handler of
the `irq_chip' structure, before it was removed.

This change complements commit d0da7c002f7b2a93582187a9e3f73891a01d8ee4
and brings clear_ioasic_irq back, renaming it to clear_ioasic_dma_irq at
the same time, to make I/O ASIC DMA interrupts functional.
Unlike ordinary I/O ASIC interrupts DMA interrupts need to be deasserted
by software by writing 0 to the respective bit in I/O ASIC's System
Interrupt Register (SIR), similarly to how CP0.Cause.IP0 and CP0.Cause.IP1
bits are handled in the CPU (the difference is SIR DMA interrupt bits are
R/W0C so there's no need for an RMW cycle). Otherwise the handler is
reentered over and over again.
The only current user is the DEC LANCE Ethernet driver and its extremely
uncommon DMA memory error handler that does not care when exactly the
interrupt is cleared. Anticipating the use of DMA interrupts by the Zilog
SCC driver this change however exports clear_ioasic_dma_irq for device
drivers to choose the right application-specific sequence to clear the
request explicitly rather than calling it implicitly in the .irq_eoi
handler of `struct irq_chip'. Previously these interrupts were cleared in
the .end handler of the said structure, before it was removed.

Not all I/O ASIC versions have the free-running counter implemented, an
early revision used in the 5000/1xx models aka 3MIN and 4MIN did not have
it. Therefore we cannot unconditionally use it as a clock source.
Fortunately if not implemented its register slot has a fixed value so it
is enough if we check for the value at the end of the calibration period
being the same as at the beginning.
This also means we need to look for another high-precision clock source on
the systems affected. The 5000/1xx can have an R4000SC processor
installed where the CP0 Count register can be used as a clock source.
Unfortunately all the R4k DECstations suffer from the missed timer
interrupt on CP0 Count reads erratum, so we cannot use the CP0 timer as a
clock source and a clock event both at a time. However we never need an
R4k clock event device because all DECstations have a DS1287A RTC chip
whose periodic interrupt can be used as a clock source.
This gives us the following four configuration possibilities for I/O ASIC
DECstations:
1. No I/O ASIC counter and no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/1xx (3MIN).
2. No I/O ASIC counter but the CP0 timer, i.e. R4k 5000/150 (4MIN).
3. The I/O ASIC counter but no CP0 timer, e.g. R3k 5000/240 (3MAX+).
4. The I/O ASIC counter and the CP0 timer, e.g. R4k 5000/260 (4MAX+).
For #1 and #2 this change stops the I/O ASIC free-running counter from
being installed as a clock source of a 0Hz frequency. For #2 it also
arranges for the CP0 timer to be used as a clock source rather than a
clock event device, because having an accurate wall clock is more
important than a high-precision interval timer. For #3 there is no
change. For #4 the change makes the I/O ASIC free-running counter
installed as a clock source so that the CP0 timer can be used as a clock
event device.
Unfortunately the use of the CP0 timer as a clock event device relies on a
succesful completion of c0_compare_interrupt. That never happens, because
while waiting for a CP0 Compare interrupt to happen the function spins in
a loop reading the CP0 Count register. This makes the CP0 Count erratum
trigger reliably causing the interrupt waited for to be lost in all cases.
As a result #4 resorts to using the CP0 timer as a clock source as well,
just as #2. However we want to keep this separate arrangement in case
(hope) c0_compare_interrupt is eventually rewritten such that it avoids
the erratum.

This change corrects DECstation HRT calibration, by removing the following
bugs:
1. Calibration period selection -- HZ / 10 has been chosen, however on
DECstation computers, HZ never divides by 10, as the choice for HZ is
among 128, 256 and 1024. The choice therefore results in a systematic
calibration error, e.g. 6.25% for the usual choice of 128 for HZ:
128 / 10 * 10 = 120
(128 - 120) / 128 -> 6.25%
The change therefore makes calibration use HZ / 8 that is always
accurate for the HZ values available, getting rid of the systematic
error.
2. Calibration starting point synchronisation -- the duration of a number
of intervals between DS1287A periodic interrupt assertions is measured,
however code does not ensure at the beginning that the interrupt has
not been previously asserted. This results in a variable error of e.g.
up to another 6.25% for the period of HZ / 8 (8.(3)% with the original
HZ / 10 period) and the usual choice of 128 for HZ:
1 / 16 -> 6.25%
1 / 12 -> 8.(3)%
The change therefore adds an initial call to ds1287_timer_state that
clears any previous periodic interrupt pending.
The same issue applies to both I/O ASIC counter and R4k CP0 timer
calibration on DECstation systems as similar code is used in both cases
and both pieces of code are covered by this fix.
On an R3400 test system used this fix results in a change of the I/O ASIC
clock frequency reported from values like:
I/O ASIC clock frequency 23185830Hz
to:
I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999288Hz
removing the miscalculation by 6.25% from the systematic error and (for
the individual sample provided) a further 1.00% from the variable error,
accordingly. The nominal I/O ASIC clock frequency is 25MHz on this
system.
Here's another result, with the fix applied, from a system that has both
HRTs available (using an R4400 at 60MHz nominal):
MIPS counter frequency 59999328Hz
I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999432Hz

This is an optimised implementation of early printk() for the DECstation.
After the recent conversion to a MIPS-specific generic routine using a
character-by-character output the performance dropped significantly.
This change reverts to the previous speed -- even at 9600 bps of the
serial console the difference is visible with a naked eye; I presume for a
framebuffer it is even worse (it may depend on exactly which one is used
though).
Additionally the change includes a fix for a problem that the old
implementation had -- the format used would not actually limit the length
of the string output. This new implementation uses a local buffer to deal
with it -- even with this additional copying it is much faster than the
generic function.
Plus this driver is registered much earlier than the generic one,
allowing one to see critical messages, such as one about an incorrect CPU
setting used, that are produced beforehand. :-)
