mips: annotate implicit fall throughs

2018-12-03T21:42:38+00:00

There is a plan to build the kernel with -Wimplicit-fallthrough and
these places in the code produced warnings. Fix them up.

This patch produces no change in behaviour, but should be reviewed in
case these are actually bugs not intentional fallthoughs.

MIPS: branch: Remove FP branch handling when CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT=n

2018-11-09T18:23:16+00:00

When CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT=n we don't support floating point, so remove
the floating point branch support from __compute_return_epc_for_insn() &
__mm_isBranchInstr(). This code should never be needed & more
importantly relies upon FPU state in struct task_struct which will later
be removed.

MIPS: Simplify FP context initialization

2018-11-09T18:23:13+00:00

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.

MIPS: Use `pr_debug' for messages from `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-06-29T00:42:27+00:00

Reduce the log level for branch emulation error messages issued before
sending SIGILL by `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' as these are triggered
by user software and are not an event that would normally require any
attention.  The same signal sent from elsewhere does not actually leave
any trace in the kernel log at all.

MIPS: Fix a typo: s/preset/present/ in r2-to-r6 emulation error message

2017-06-29T00:42:27+00:00

This is a user-visible message, so we want it to be spelled correctly.

MIPS: Send SIGILL for R6 branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-06-29T00:42:27+00:00

Fix:

* commit 8467ca0122e2 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 branch compact
(BC) instruction"),

* commit 84fef630127a ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BALC
instruction"),

* commit 69b9a2fd05a3 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BEQZC and JIC
instructions"),

* commit 28d6f93d201d ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BNEZC and JIALC
instructions"),

* commit c893ce38b265 ("MIPS: Emulate the new MIPS R6 BOVC, BEQC and
BEQZALC instructions")

and send SIGILL rather than returning -SIGILL for R6 branch and jump
instructions.  Returning -SIGILL is never correct as the API defines
this function's result upon error to be -EFAULT and a signal actually
issued.

MIPS: Rename `sigill_r6' to `sigill_r2r6' in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-06-29T00:42:26+00:00

Use the more accurate `sigill_r2r6' name for the label used in the case
of sending SIGILL in the absence of the instruction emulator for an
earlier ISA level instruction that has been removed as from the R6 ISA,
so that the `sigill_r6' name is freed for the situation where an R6
instruction is not supposed to be interpreted, because the executing
processor does not support the R6 ISA.

MIPS: Send SIGILL for BPOSGE32 in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'

2017-06-29T00:42:26+00:00

Fix commit e50c0a8fa60d ("Support the MIPS32 / MIPS64 DSP ASE.") and
send SIGILL rather than SIGBUS whenever an unimplemented BPOSGE32 DSP
ASE instruction has been encountered in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn'
as our Reserved Instruction exception handler would in response to an
attempt to actually execute the instruction.  Sending SIGBUS only makes
sense for the unaligned PC case, since moved to `__compute_return_epc'.
Adjust function documentation accordingly, correct formatting and use
`pr_info' rather than `printk' as the other exit path already does.
