commit d7de413475f443957a0c1d256e405d19b3a2cb22 upstream.

TASK_SIZE was defined as 0x7fff8000UL which for 64k pages is not a
multiple of the page size.  Somewhere further down the math fails
such that executing an ELF binary fails.

<title>MIPS: Basic MSA context switching support</title>

<id>1db1af84d6df99a8e5d6ddea8c7b5c1327c9a620</id>
<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 &amp; restored as
usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save &amp;
restore the vector context forever more.

<title>MIPS: Simplify FP context access</title>

This patch replaces the fpureg_t typedef with a "union fpureg" enabling
easier access to 32 &amp; 64 bit values. This allows the access macros used
in cp1emu.c to be simplified somewhat. It will also make it easier to
expand the width of the FP registers as will be done in a future
patch in order to support the 128 bit registers introduced with MSA.

No behavioural change is intended by this patch.

Add COP2 register state structure and functions for Netlogic XLP. The
RX and TX buffers and status registers are to be saved. Since the
registers are 64-bit, do the implementation in inline assembly which
works on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels.

<content type='text'>
Move the common code for saving and restoring platform specific COP2
registers to switch_to(). This will make supporting new platforms (like
Netlogic XLP) easier.

The platform specific COP2 definitions are to be specified in
asm/processor.h and in asm/cop2.h.
