This is caused by the -c0_compare_int_usable() routine in cevt-r4k.c returning false which -causes the system to disable the timer and hang later. The false -return happens because the routine is using a series of four calls to -irq_disable_hazard() as a delay while it waits for the timer changes -to propagate to the cp0 cause register. On newer MIPS cores, like the 74K, -the series of irq_disable_hazard() calls turn into ehb instructions and -can take as little as a few clock ticks for all 4 instructions. This -is not enough of a delay, so the routine thinks the timer is not working. -This fix uses up to a max number of cycle counter ticks for the delay -and uses back_to_back_c0_hazard() instead of irq_disable_hazard() to -handle the hazard condition between cp0 writes and cp0 reads. - -Signed-off-by: Al Cooper - ---- -arch/mips/kernel/cevt-r4k.c | 38 +++++++++++++++++++------------------- - 1 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-) - ---- a/arch/mips/kernel/cevt-r4k.c -+++ b/arch/mips/kernel/cevt-r4k.c -@@ -103,19 +103,10 @@ static int c0_compare_int_pending(void) - - /* - * Compare interrupt can be routed and latched outside the core, -- * so a single execution hazard barrier may not be enough to give -- * it time to clear as seen in the Cause register. 4 time the -- * pipeline depth seems reasonably conservative, and empirically -- * works better in configurations with high CPU/bus clock ratios. -+ * so wait up to worst case number of cycle counter ticks for timer interrupt -+ * changes to propagate to the cause register. - */ -- --#define compare_change_hazard() \ -- do { \ -- irq_disable_hazard(); \ -- irq_disable_hazard(); \ -- irq_disable_hazard(); \ -- irq_disable_hazard(); \ -- } while (0) -+#define COMPARE_INT_SEEN_TICKS 50 - - int c0_compare_int_usable(void) - { -@@ -126,8 +117,12 @@ int c0_compare_int_usable(void) - * IP7 already pending?
