[MIPS] Patch to arch/mips/mips-boards/generic/time.c
In hooking up the perf counter overflow interrupt to the experimental deprecated-real-soon-now /proc/perf interface last night, I had to revisit arch/mips/mips-boards/generic/time.c, and discovered that when the 2.6.9-based SMTC prototype was merged with the more recent tree, it was missed that arch/mips/kernel/time.c had changed so that even in SMP kernels, timer_interrupt() calls local_timer_interrupt(), so there is no longer a need to invoke it directly from mips_timer_interrupt() in those cases where timer_interrupt() has been called. So I got rid of that, and added the invocation of perf_irq() if Cause.PCI is set, more-or-less following the same logic as in the non-SMTC case, with the modifications that (a) a runtime check for Release 2 isn't done, because it's redundant in SMTC), and (b) we check for a clock interrupt regardless of the value returned by the perf counter service - I don't understand why we'd want to control that with perf_irq(), but maybe one of you knows the story. I also got rid of the stupid warning about the unused variable when compiled for SMTC (another artifact of the merge). The result hasn't been beaten to death, but boots, seems stable, and supports extended precision event counting. Signed-off-by: Kevin D.
