MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+

2014-11-07T14:07:36+00:00

Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:

{standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
  LD      arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
 uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
 arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float

To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS;  but then we also need
to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.

MIPS: OCTEON: Enable use of FPU

2014-05-30T19:01:09+00:00

Some versions of the assembler will not assemble CFC1 for OCTEON, so
override the ISA for these.

Add r4k_fpu.o to handle low level FPU initialization.

Modify octeon_switch.S to save the FPU registers.  And include
r4k_switch.S to pick up more FPU support.

Get rid of "#define cpu_has_fpu		0"

MIPS: Sort out mm_isBranchInstr.

2014-05-23T13:12:37+00:00

mm_isBranchInstr() did reside in the math emu code even though it logically
is separate and also is used outside the math emu code.  In addition GCC 4.9.0
leaves the following unnnecessarily bloated function body for a non-microMIPS
configuration:

:
    105c:       afa50004        sw      a1,4(sp)
    1060:       afa60008        sw      a2,8(sp)
    1064:       afa7000c        sw      a3,12(sp)
    1068:       03e00008        jr      ra
    106c:       00001021        move    v0,zero

which stores arguments that are never going to be used on the stack frame.

Move mm_isBranchInstr() from cp1emu.c to branch.c, then split mm_isBranchInstr()
into a __mm_isBranchInstr() core and a mm_isBranchInstr() wrapper inline function
which only invokes __mm_isBranchInstr() on microMIPS configurations.

This shaves off 112 bytes off the kernel and improves code flow a bit.

MIPS: Fix branch emulation of branch likely instructions.

2014-05-22T23:00:26+00:00

Two issues:

  o For beql_op, beql_op, bne_op, bnel_op, blez_op, blezl_op, bgtz_op and
    bgtzl_op the wrong field was being checked for the instruction opcode.
  o For blez_op / blezl_op and bgtz_op / bgtzl_op the test was testing
    for the wrong opcode.

This bug got introduced by d8d4e3ae0b5c179c0bfd3f0af5b352d13bea9cfa [MIPS

MIPS Kprobes: Refactor branch emulation

2011-12-07T22:04:03+00:00

This patch refactors MIPS branch emulation code so as to allow skipping
delay slot instruction in case of branch likely instructions when branch is
not taken. This is useful for keeping the code common for use cases like
kprobes where one would like to handle the branch instructions keeping the
delay slot instuction also in picture for branch likely instructions. Also
allow emulation when instruction to be decoded is not at pt_regs->cp0_epc
as in case of kprobes where pt_regs->cp0_epc points to the breakpoint
instruction.

The patch also exports the function for modules.
