This is a MIPS32 Release 5 based IP core with XPA, EVA, dual/quad issue exec pipes, MMU with two-levels TLB, UCA, MSA, MDU core level features and system level features like up to six P5600 calculation cores, CM2 with L2 cache, IOCU/IOMMU (though might be unused depending on the system-specific IP core configuration), GIC, CPC, virtualisation module, eJTAG and PDtrace. As being MIPS32 Release 5 based core it provides all the features available by the CPU_MIPS32_R5 config, while adding a few more like UCA attribute support, availability of CPU-freq (by means of L2/CM clock ratio setting), EI/VI GIC modes detection at runtime. In addition to this if P5600 architecture is enabled modern GNU GCC provides a specific tuning for P5600 processors with respect to the classic MIPS32 Release 5. First of all branch-likely avoidance is activated only when the code is compiled with the speed optimization (avoidance is always enabled for the pure MIPS32 Release 5 architecture). Secondly the madd/msub avoidance is enabled since madd/msub utilization isn't profitable due to overhead of getting the result out of the HI/LO registers. Multiply-accumulate instructions are activated and utilized together with the necessary code reorder when multiply-add/multiply-subtract statements are met. Finally load/store bonding is activated by default. All of these optimizations may make the code relatively faster than if just MIP32 release 5 architecture was requested.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
