Hi, as all the stuff i had been doing about sysmips were all workarounds around the compiler not giving a chance of refusing to use registers or to write only parts of an epilogue i now implemented MIPS_ATOMIC_SET as an asm routing. The only thing i dont catch right now are page faults in ll/sc which shouldnt be too hard. This patch at least works but as i dont have docs on the exact semantics of sysmips i can only guess that this works. diff -Nur linux.orig/arch/mips/kernel/Makefile linux/arch/mips/kernel/Makefile --- linux.orig/arch/mips/kernel/Makefile Mon Apr 9 00:23:08 2001 +++ linux/arch/mips/kernel/Makefile Mon Apr 9 00:23:34 2001 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ obj-y += branch.o process.o signal.o entry.o \ traps.o ptrace.o vm86.o ioport.o reset.o \ semaphore.o setup.o syscall.o sysmips.o \ - ipc.o scall_o32.o unaligned.o + ipc.o scall_o32.o unaligned.o fast-sysmips.o obj-$(CONFIG_MODULES) += mips_ksyms.o ifdef CONFIG_CPU_R3000 @@ -69,5 +69,6 @@ entry.o: entry.S head.o: head.S +fast-sysmips.o: fast-sysmips.S include $(TOPDIR)/Rules.make diff -Nur linux.orig/arch/mips/kernel/fast-sysmips.S linux/arch/mips/kernel/fast-sysmips.S --- linux.orig/arch/mips/kernel/fast-sysmips.S Thu Jan 1 01:00:00 1970 +++ linux/arch/mips/kernel/fast-sysmips.S Mon Apr 9 00:28:20 2001 @@ -0,0 +1,85 @@ +/* + * MIPS_ATOMIC_SET asm implementation for ll/sc capable cpus + * + * This file is subject to the terms and conditions of the GNU General Public + * License.
