MIPS: Support for hybrid FPRs Hybrid FPRs is a scheme where scalar FP registers are 64b wide, but accesses to odd indexed single registers use bits 63:32 of the preceeding even indexed 64b register. In this mode all FP code except that built for the plain FP64 ABI can execute correctly. Most notably a combination of FP64A & FP32 code can execute correctly, allowing for existing FP32 binaries to be linked with new FP64A binaries that can make use of 64 bit FP & MSA. Hybrid FPRs are implemented by setting both the FR & FRE bits, trapping & emulating single precision FP instructions (via Reserved Instruction exceptions) whilst allowing others to execute natively. It therefore has a penalty in terms of execution speed, and should only be used when no fully native mode can be. As more binaries are recompiled to use either the FPXX or FP64(A) ABIs, the need for hybrid FPRs should diminish. However in the short to mid term it allows for a gradual transition towards that world, rather than a complete ABI break which is not feasible for some users & not desirable for many. A task will be executed using the hybrid FPR scheme when its TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS flag is set & TIF_32BIT_FPREGS is clear. A further patch will set the flags as necessary, this patch simply adds the infrastructure necessary for the hybrid FPR mode to work.

mips: Add MIPS Release 5 support There are five MIPS32/64 architecture releases currently available: from 1 to 6 except fourth one, which was intentionally skipped. Three of them can be called as major: 1st, 2nd and 6th, that not only have some system level alterations, but also introduced significant core/ISA level updates. The rest of the MIPS architecture releases are minor. Even though they don't have as much ISA/system/core level changes as the major ones with respect to the previous releases, they still provide a set of updates (I'd say they were intended to be the intermediate releases before a major one) that might be useful for the kernel and user-level code, when activated by the kernel or compiler. In particular the following features were introduced or ended up being available at/after MIPS32/64 Release 5 architecture: + the last release of the misaligned memory access instructions, + virtualisation - VZ ASE - is optional component of the arch, + SIMD - MSA ASE - is optional component of the arch, + DSP ASE is optional component of the arch, + CP0.Status.FR=1 for CP1.FIR.F64=1 (pure 64-bit FPU general registers) must be available if FPU is implemented, + CP1.FIR.Has2008 support is required so CP1.FCSR.{ABS2008,NAN2008} bits are available. + UFR/UNFR aliases to access CP0.Status.FR from user-space by means of ctc1/cfc1 instructions (enabled by CP0.Config5.UFR), + CP0.COnfig5.LLB=1 and eretnc instruction are implemented to without accidentally clearing LL-bit when returning from an interrupt, exception, or error trap, + XPA feature together with extended versions of CPx registers is introduced, which needs to have mfhc0/mthc0 instructions available. So due to these changes GNU GCC provides an extended instructions set support for MIPS32/64 Release 5 by default like eretnc/mfhc0/mthc0. Even though the architecture alteration isn't that big, it still worth to be taken into account by the kernel software. Finally we can't deny that some optimization/limitations might be found in future and implemented on some level in kernel or compiler. In this case having even intermediate MIPS architecture releases support would be more than useful. So the most of the changes provided by this commit can be split into either compile- or runtime configs related. The compile-time related changes are caused by adding the new CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R5/CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR5 configs and concern the code activating MIPSR2 or MIPSR6 already implemented features (like eretnc/LLbit, mthc0/mfhc0). In addition CPU_HAS_MSA can be now freely enabled for MIPS32/64 release 5 based platforms as this is done for CPU_MIPS32_R6 CPUs. The runtime changes concerns the features which are handled with respect to the MIPS ISA revision detected at run-time by means of CP0.Config.{AT,AR} bits. Alas these fields can be used to detect either r1 or r2 or r6 releases. But since we know which CPUs in fact support the R5 arch, we can manually set MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R5/MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R5 bit of c->isa_level and then use cpu_has_mips32r5/cpu_has_mips64r5 where it's appropriate. Since XPA/EVA provide too complex alterationss and to have them used with MIPS32 Release 2 charged kernels (for compatibility with current platform configs) they are left to be setup as a separate kernel configs.

MIPS: Fix FPU disable with preemption The FPU should not be left enabled after a task context switch. This isn't usually a problem as the FPU enable bit is updated before returning to userland, however it can potentially mask kernel bugs, and in fact KVM assumes it won't happen and won't clear the FPU enable bit before returning to the guest, which allows the guest to use stale FPU context. Interrupts and exceptions save and restore most bits of the CP0 Status register which contains the FPU enable bit (CU1). When the kernel needs to enable or disable the FPU (for example due to attempted FPU use by userland, or the scheduler being invoked) both the actual Status register and the saved value in the userland context are updated. However this doesn't work correctly with full kernel preemption enabled, since the FPU enable bit can be cleared from within an interrupt when the scheduler is invoked, and only the userland context is updated, not the interrupt context. For example: 1) Enter kernel with FPU already enabled, TIF_USEDFPU=1, Status.CU1=1 saved. 2) Take a timer interrupt while in kernel mode, Status.CU1=1 saved. 3) Timer interrupt invokes scheduler to preempt the task, which clears TIF_USEDFPU, disables the FPU in Status register (Status.CU1=0), and the value stored in user context from step (1), but not the interrupt context from step (2). 4) When the process is scheduled back in again Status.CU1=0. 5) The interrupt context from step (2) is restored, which sets Status.CU1=1. So from user context point of view, preemption has re-enabled FPU! 6) If the scheduler is invoked again (via preemption or voluntarily) before returning to userland, TIF_USEDFPU=0 so the FPU is not disabled before the task context switch. 7) The next task resumes from the context switch with FPU enabled! The restoring of the Status register on return from interrupt/exception is already selective about which bits to restore, leaving the interrupt mask bits alone so enabling/disabling of CPU interrupt lines can persist. Extend this to also leave both the CU1 bit (FPU enable) and the FR bit (which specifies the FPU mode and gets changed with CU1). This prevents a stale Status value being restored in step (5) above and persisting through subsequent context switches. Also switch to the use of definitions from asm/mipsregs.h while we're at it. Since this change also affects the restoration of Status register on the path back to userland, it increases the sensitivity of the kernel to the problem of the FPU being left enabled, allowing it to propagate to userland, therefore a warning is also added to lose_fpu_inatomic() to point out any future reoccurances before they do any damage.

MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization 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.

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.

MIPS: Support for hybrid FPRs Hybrid FPRs is a scheme where scalar FP registers are 64b wide, but accesses to odd indexed single registers use bits 63:32 of the preceeding even indexed 64b register. In this mode all FP code except that built for the plain FP64 ABI can execute correctly. Most notably a combination of FP64A & FP32 code can execute correctly, allowing for existing FP32 binaries to be linked with new FP64A binaries that can make use of 64 bit FP & MSA. Hybrid FPRs are implemented by setting both the FR & FRE bits, trapping & emulating single precision FP instructions (via Reserved Instruction exceptions) whilst allowing others to execute natively. It therefore has a penalty in terms of execution speed, and should only be used when no fully native mode can be. As more binaries are recompiled to use either the FPXX or FP64(A) ABIs, the need for hybrid FPRs should diminish. However in the short to mid term it allows for a gradual transition towards that world, rather than a complete ABI break which is not feasible for some users & not desirable for many. A task will be executed using the hybrid FPR scheme when its TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS flag is set & TIF_32BIT_FPREGS is clear. A further patch will set the flags as necessary, this patch simply adds the infrastructure necessary for the hybrid FPR mode to work.

MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization 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.
