In preparation for EVA support, an instruction argument is needed for the __get_user_asm{,_ll32} functions to allow instruction overrides in EVA mode. Even though EVA only works for MIPS 32-bit, both codepaths are changed (32-bit and 64-bit) for consistency reasons. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com>

Build the __bzero function using the EVA load/store instructions when operating in the EVA mode. This function is only used when accessing user code so there is no need to build two distinct symbols for user and kernel operations respectively.

Add copy_{to,from,in}_user when the CPU operates in EVA mode. This is necessary so the EVA specific instructions can be used to perform the virtual to physical translation for user space addresses. We will use the non-EVA functions to read from kernel if needed. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com>

Each load/store macro always adds an entry to the __ex_table using the EXC macro. Therefore, these load/store macros are now merged with the EXC one. The argument list is also expanded in order to make the macro more flexible. The extra 'type' argument is not used by this commit, but it will be used when the EVA support is added to the memcpy.

In non-EVA mode, strncpy_from_user* aliases are used for the strncpy_from_kernel* symbols since the code is identical. In EVA mode, new strcpy_from_user* symbols are used which use the EVA specific instructions to load values from userspace. Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com>

This patch extends sigcontext in order to hold the most significant 64 bits of each vector register in addition to the MSA control & status register. The least significant 64 bits are already saved as the scalar FP context. This makes things a little awkward since the least & most significant 64 bits of each vector register are not contiguous in memory. Thus the copy_u & insert instructions are used to transfer the values of the most significant 64 bits via GP registers.

No current systems implementing MSA include support for vector register partitioning which makes it somewhat difficult to implement support for it in the kernel. Thus for the moment the kernel includes no such support. However if the kernel were to be run on a system which implemented register partitioning then it would not function correctly, mishandling MSA disabled exceptions. Print a warning if run on a system with vector register partitioning implemented to indicate this problem should it occur.

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.

This patch adds support for probing the MSAP bit within the Config3 register in order to detect the presence of the MSA ASE. Presence of the ASE will be indicated in /proc/cpuinfo. The value of the MSA implementation register will be displayed at boot to aid debugging and verification of a correct setup, as is done for the FPU.

This patch introduces definitions for the MSA control registers and functions which allow access to both the control & vector registers. If the toolchain being used to build the kernel includes support for MSA then this patch will make use of that support & use MSA instructions directly. However toolchain support for MSA is very new & far from a point where it can be reasonably expected that everyone building the kernel uses a toolchain with support. Thus fallbacks using .word assembler directives are also provided for now as a temporary measure.

When saving or restoring scalar FP context we want to access the least significant 64 bits of each FP register. When the FP registers are 64 bits wide that is trivially the start of the registers value in memory. However when the FP registers are wider this equivalence will no longer be true for big endian systems. Define a new set of offset macros for the least significant 64 bits of each saved FP register within thread context, and make use of them when saving and restoring scalar FP context.

When we want to access 64-bit FP register values we can only treat consecutive registers as being consecutive in memory when the width of an FP register equals 64 bits. This assumption will not remain true once MSA support is introduced, so provide a code path which copies each 64 bit FP register value in turn when the width of an FP register differs from 64 bits.

This code assumed that saved FP registers are 64 bits wide, an assumption which will no longer be true once MSA is introduced. This patch modifies the code to copy the lower 64 bits of each register in turn, which is safe for any FP register width >= 64 bits.

The upper bits of an FP register are architecturally defined as unpredictable following an instructions which only writes the lower bits. The prior behaviour of the kernel is to leave them unmodified. This patch modifies that to clear the upper bits to zero. This is what the MSA architecture reference manual specifies should happen for its wider registers and is still permissible for scalar FP instructions given the bits unpredictability there.

When a task which has used the FPU at some point in its past takes a signal the kernel would previously always require the task to take ownership of the FPU whilst setting up or restoring from the sigcontext. That means that if the task has not used the FPU within this timeslice then the kernel would enable the FPU, restore the task's FP context into FPU registers and then save them into the sigcontext. This seems inefficient, and if the signal handler doesn't use FP then enabling the FPU & the extra memory accesses are entirely wasted work. This patch modifies the sigcontext setup & restore code to copy directly between the tasks saved FP context & the sigcontext for any tasks which have used FP in the past but are not currently the FPU owner (ie. have not used FP in this timeslice).
