MIPS: genex: Indent delay slots & clean whitespace

2016-05-13T12:02:20+00:00

Various branches and jumps in noreorder parts of genex.S don't have
their delay slot instructions indented conventionally with the extra
space.

Fix these, as well as various other inconsistent whitespace problems in
this file, such as spaces used after some opcodes instead of a tab.

MIPS: Support extended ASIDs

2016-05-13T12:02:20+00:00

Add support for extended ASIDs as determined by the Config4.AE bit.
Since the only supported CPUs known to implement this are Netlogic XLP
and MIPS I6400, select this variable ASID support based upon
CONFIG_CPU_XLP and CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR6.

MIPS: Add & use CP0_EntryHi ASID definitions

2016-05-13T12:02:18+00:00

Add definitions for the ASID field in CP0_EntryHi (along with the soon
to be used ASIDX field), and use them in a few previously hardcoded
cases.

MIPS: Fix LLVM build issue.

2015-08-18T09:40:20+00:00

Matthew Fortune  reports:

The genex.S file appears to mix the case of a macro between its definition and
use. A cut down example of this is below. The macro __build_clear_none has
lower case 'build' but ends up being instantiated with upper case BUILD. Can
this be fixed on master. It has been picked up by the LLVM integrated assembler
which is currently case sensitive. We are likely to fix the assembler as well
but the code is currently inconsistent in the kernel.

 .macro __build_clear_none
 .endm

 .macro __BUILD_HANDLER exception handler clear verbose ext
 .align 5
 .globl handle_\exception; .align 2; .type handle_\exception, @function; .ent
handle_\exception, 0; handle_\exception: .frame $29, 184, $29

MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after notify_die()

2015-03-27T21:25:06+00:00

When handling floating point exceptions (FPEs) and MSA FPEs the Cause
bits of the appropriate control and status register (FCSR for FPEs and
MSACSR for MSA FPEs) are read and cleared before enabling interrupts,
presumably so that it doesn't have to go through the pain of restoring
those bits if the process is pre-empted, since writing those bits would
cause another immediate exception while still in the kernel.

The bits aren't normally ever restored again, since userland never
expects to see them set.

However for virtualisation it is necessary for the kernel to be able to
restore these Cause bits, as the guest may have been interrupted in an
FP exception handler but before it could read the Cause bits. This can
be done by registering a die notifier, to get notified of the exception
when such a value is restored, and if the PC was at the instruction
which is used to restore the guest state, the handler can step over it
and continue execution. The Cause bits can then remain set without
causing further exceptions.

For this to work safely a few changes are made:
- __build_clear_fpe and __build_clear_msa_fpe no longer clear the Cause
  bits, and now return from exception level with interrupts disabled
  instead of enabled.
- do_fpe() now clears the Cause bits and enables interrupts after
  notify_die() is called, so that the notifier can chose to return from
  exception without this happening.
- do_msa_fpe() acts similarly, but now actually makes use of the second
  argument (msacsr) and calls notify_die() with the new DIE_MSAFP,
  allowing die notifiers to be informed of MSA FPEs too.

MIPS: clear MSACSR cause bits when handling MSA FP exception

2015-03-27T18:42:45+00:00

Much like for traditional scalar FP exceptions, the cause bits in the
MSACSR register need to be cleared following an MSA FP exception.
Without doing so the exception will simply be raised again whenever
the kernel restores MSACSR from a tasks saved context, leading to
undesirable spurious exceptions. Clear the cause bits from the
handle_msa_fpe function, mirroring the way handle_fpe clears the
cause bits in FCSR.

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: MT: Remove SMTC support

2014-05-23T22:07:01+00:00

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell  is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.

Based on Markos Chandras  patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

MIPS: Fix gigaton of warning building with microMIPS.

2014-03-31T16:17:12+00:00

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension

during a kernel build.  Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.

This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.
