Re: [9fans] P9P on Lemote Yeeloong

[Russ Cox <rsc@swtch.com>]

I don't know that p9p has ever been built
on a MIPS machine, so you might run into
more problems after this one.

You are almost certainly running Linux 2.6
so you shouldn't need to edit u.h -- it should
be using pthreads already.

You probably need to edit src/libthread/sysofiles.sh
to add a

case mips-Linux-2.6.*)
    echo pthread.o Linux-mips-context.o
    ;;

Then you'll need to write Linux-mips-context.S and mips-context.h
to provide useful versions of getcontext and setcontext
and change threadimpl.h to use them on MIPS (like it does
for __APPLE__ and __OpenBSD__).

I looked around but I don't think I have any such
implementations lying around.  They're not too hard:
just save and restore every register (technically,
just the callee-saves, but I'm too lazy to look up
which ones are which and too paranoid to trust
them not to change).
