Subject: Re: [PATCH V10 01/22] Documentation: LoongArch: Add basic
documentations
Hi,
Overall it seems many of the review comments on v9 are not being
respected, and there was no explanation or justification either. It's
probably good netiquette (or rather, common sense) to give proper
replies if you don't feel like changing some of the places.
I've already privately contacted you about the overall disregard of my
review comments, but for now I'll try to mentally diff the versions and
review the fresher bits.

Since the v0/v1 names are deprecated, we'd probably want to remove all
mentions of them?
And the r21 has no ABI name, so you probably want to clarify a bit.
Either change the "Reserved" to something like "(Kernel-specific) percpu
base address", or remove the "$u0" from the table and replace with "n/a".

While the word "overlap" is used, it feels wrong, just "FPRs and VRs
overlap" would sound more natural.

Hmm, now I have a better name -- "Saved Data register". Does that sound

I forgot to mention this while reviewing v9, but obviously we have more
formats (there are actually 39 in total [1]), so let's adjust this to
say "9 basic instruction formats" instead. You really can't pretend
there are only 9 formats when even ubiquitous ones like LU12I.W have
formats not similar to any of the 9 listed.

Why mention TLBP along with TLBSRCH? Is that an old name? If so you
could revive names like DBGCALL, ERET and CACHE as well...
Otherwise just remove it.

So these names are not changed, despite I asked in v9 pointing out
they're "awfully MIPS-like". And there is not the explanation for the
name inventions either.

> +CPUINTC is a per-core controller (in CPU), LIOINTC/EIOINTC/HTVECINTC are per-package
> +controllers (in CPU), while PCH-PIC/PCH-LPC/PCH-MSI are controllers out of CPU (i.e.,
> +in chipsets). These controllers (in other words, irqchips) are linked in a hierarchy,
> +and there are two models of hierarchy (legacy model and extended model).

> +Legacy IRQ model
> +================
> +
> +In this model, IPI (Inter-Processor Interrupt) and CPU Local Timer interrupt go
> +to CPUINTC directly, CPU UARTS interrupts go to LIOINTC, while all other devices
> +interrupts go to PCH-PIC/PCH-LPC/PCH-MSI and gathered by HTVECINTC, and then go
> +to LIOINTC, and then CPUINTC.
