New Loongson 3 CPU (since Loongson-3A R2, as opposed to Loongson-3A R1, Loongson-3B R1 and Loongson-3B R2) has many enhancements, such as FTLB, L1-VCache, EI/DI/Wait/Prefetch instruction, DSP/DSPv2 ASE, User Local register, Read-Inhibit/Execute-Inhibit, SFB (Store Fill Buffer), Fast TLB refill support, etc. This patch introduce a config option, CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, to enable those enhancements which are not probed at run time. If you want a generic kernel to run on all Loongson 3 machines, please say 'N' here. If you want a high-performance kernel to run on new Loongson 3 machines only, please say 'Y' here. Some additional explanations: 1) SFB locates between core and L1 cache, it causes memory access out of order, so writel/outl (and other similar functions) need a I/O reorder barrier. 2) Loongson 3 has a bug that di instruction can not save the irqflag, so arch_local_irq_save() is modified. Since CPU_MIPSR2 is selected by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, generic kernel doesn't use ei/di at all. 3) CPU_HAS_PREFETCH is selected by CONFIG_LOONGSON3_ENHANCEMENT, so MIPS_CPU_PREFETCH (used by uasm) probing is also put in this patch.
