Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

This patch adds a simple handler for MSA FP exceptions which delivers a
SIGFPE to the running task. In the future it should probably be extended
to re-execute the instruction with the MSACSR.NX bit set in order to
generate results for any elements which did not cause an exception
before delivering the SIGFPE signal.

This patch adds support for context switching the MSA vector registers.
These 128 bit vector registers are aliased with the FP registers - an
FP register accesses the least significant bits of the vector register
with which it is aliased (ie. the register with the same index). Due to
both this & the requirement that the scalar FPU must be 64-bit (FR=1) if
enabled at the same time as MSA the kernel will enable MSA & scalar FP
at the same time for tasks which use MSA. If we restore the MSA vector
context then we might as well enable the scalar FPU since the reason it
was left disabled was to allow for lazy FP context restoring - but we
just restored the FP context as it's a subset of the vector context. If
we restore the FP context and have previously used MSA then we have to
restore the whole vector context anyway (see comment in
enable_restore_fp_context for details) so similarly we might as well
enable MSA.
Thus if a task does not use MSA then it will continue to behave as
without this patch - the scalar FP context will be saved & restored as
usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save &
restore the vector context forever more.

The Fixed Page Size TLB (FTLB) is a set-associative dual entry TLB. Its
purpose is to reduce the number of TLB misses by increasing the effective
TLB size and keep the implementation complexity to minimum levels.
A supported core can have both VTLB and FTLB.

local_irq_enable() may expand into very different code, so it rather should
stay in C. Also this keeps the assembler code size constant which keeps
the rollback code simple. So it's best to split r4k_wait into two parts,
one C and one assembler.
Finally add the local_irq_enable() to r4k_wait to ensure the WAIT
instruction in __r4k_wait() will work properly.

This reverts commit d532f3d267.
The original commit has several problems:
1) Doesn't work with 64-bit kernels.
2) Calls TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP() before the code is generated.
3) Calls TLBMISS_HANDLER_SETUP() twice in per_cpu_trap_init() when
only one call is needed.

Original patch by Ralf Baechle and removed by Harold Koerfgen
with commit f67e4ffc79905482c3b9b8c8dd65197bac7eb508. This
allows for more generic kernels since the size of the ASID
and corresponding masks can be determined at run-time. This
patch is also required for the new Aptiv cores and has been
tested on Malta and Malta Aptiv platforms.

This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds
bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten
assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register
as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li
and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used
explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected,
using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is
only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the
workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays
unchanged.
Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder
fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to
reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of
scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable).
Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not
possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented.
Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the
TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate.
These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the
run time.
Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in
a branch delay slot.

To support multiple TC microthreads acting as "CPUs" within a VPE,
VPE-wide interrupt mask bits must be specially manipulated during
interrupt handling. To support legacy drivers and interrupt controller
management code, SMTC has a "backstop" to track and if necessary restore
the interrupt mask. This has some performance impact on interrupt service
overhead. Disable it only if you know what you are doing.
