MIPS has up until now had 3 different ways for a task's floating point context to be initialized: - If the task's first use of FP involves it gaining ownership of an FPU then _init_fpu() is used to initialize the FPU's registers such that they all contain ~0, and the FPU registers will be stored to struct thread_info later (eg. when context switching). - If the task first uses FP on a CPU without an associated FPU then fpu_emulator_init_fpu() initializes the task's floating point register state in struct thread_info such that all floating point register contain the bit pattern 0x7ff800007ff80000, different to the _init_fpu() behaviour. - If a task's floating point context is first accessed via ptrace then init_fp_ctx() initializes the floating point register state in struct thread_info to ~0, giving equivalent state to _init_fpu(). The _init_fpu() path has 2 separate implementations - one for r2k/r3k style systems & one for r4k style systems. The _init_fpu() path also requires that we be careful to clear & restore the value of the Config5.FRE bit on modern systems in order to avoid inadvertently triggering floating point exceptions. None of this code is in a performance critical hot path - it runs only the first time a task uses floating point. As such it doesn't seem to warrant the complications of maintaining the _init_fpu() path. Remove _init_fpu() & fpu_emulator_init_fpu(), instead using init_fp_ctx() consistently to initialize floating point register state in struct thread_info. Upon a task's first use of floating point this will typically mean that we initialize state in memory & then load it into FPU registers using _restore_fp() just as we would on a context switch. For other paths such as __compute_return_epc_for_insn() or mipsr2_decoder() this results in a significant simplification of the work to be done.
