    MIPS: Loongson 3: Add Loongson-3 SMP support · 300459d5
    Huacai Chen authored
    IPI registers of Loongson-3 include IPI_SET, IPI_CLEAR, IPI_STATUS,
    IPI_EN and IPI_MAILBOX_BUF. Each bit of IPI_STATUS indicate a type of
    IPI and IPI_EN indicate whether the IPI is enabled. The sender write 1
    to IPI_SET bits generate IPIs in IPI_STATUS, and receiver write 1 to
    bits of IPI_CLEAR to clear IPIs. IPI_MAILBOX_BUF are used to deliver
    more information about IPIs.
    
    Why we change code in arch/mips/loongson/common/setup.c?
    
    If without this change, when SMP configured, system cannot boot since
    it hang at printk() in cgroup_init_early(). The root cause is:
    
    console_trylock()
      \-->down_trylock(&console_sem)
        \-->raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags)
          \-->_raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()(SMP/UP have different versions)
            \-->__raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore()  (following is the SMP case)
              \-->do_raw_spin_unlock()
                \-->arch_spin_unlock()
                  \-->nudge_writes()
                    \-->mb()
                      \-->wbflush()
                        \-->__wbflush()
    
    In previous code __wbflush() is initialized in plat_mem_setup(), but
    cgroup_init_early() is called before plat_mem_setup(). Therefore, In
    this patch we make changes to avoid boot failure.
