MIPS: traps: Fix inline asm ctc1 missing .set hardfloat

2015-01-30T22:05:04+00:00

Commit 842dfc11ea9a ("MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+") in v3.18
enabled -msoft-float and sprinkled ".set hardfloat" where necessary to
use FP instructions. However it missed enable_restore_fp_context() which
since v3.17 does a ctc1 with inline assembly, causing the following
assembler errors on Mentor's 2014.05 toolchain:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2913: Error: opcode not supported on this processor: mips32r2 (mips32r2) `ctc1 $2,$31'
scripts/Makefile.build:257: recipe for target 'arch/mips/kernel/traps.o' failed

Fix that to use the new write_32bit_cp1_register() macro so that ".set
hardfloat" is automatically added when -msoft-float is in use.

MIPS: traps: Dump the PageGrain and Wired registers on MC

They can be useful to determine how the MMU is configured on a MC

MIPS: Support for hybrid FPRs

2014-11-24T06:45:07+00:00

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: disable preemption whilst initialising MSA

2014-08-01T22:06:44+00:00

Preemption must be disabled throughout the process of enabling the FPU,
enabling MSA & initialising the vector registers. Without doing so it
is possible to lose the FPU or MSA whilst initialising them causing
that initialisation to fail.

MIPS: fix MSA context for tasks which don't use FP first

2014-08-01T22:06:44+00:00

If a task does not execute scalar FP instructions prior to using MSA
then the flags indicating that the task has live MSA context were not
being set. The upper 64b of each vector register would then be lost
upon the tasks first context switch after using MSA.

MIPS: init upper 64b of vector registers when MSA is first used

2014-08-01T22:06:44+00:00

When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper
64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no
information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA
context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these
bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the
aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the
kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the
specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is
unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the
bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant
64b.

MIPS: preserve scalar FP CSR when switching vector context

2014-08-01T22:06:43+00:00

Switching the vector context implicitly saves & restores the state of
the aliased scalar FP data registers, however the scalar FP control
& status register is distinct from the MSA control & status register.
In order to allow scalar FP to function correctly in programs using
MSA, the scalar CSR needs to be saved & restored along with the MSA
vector context.

MIPS: Use dedicated exception handler if CPU supports RI/XI exceptions

2014-08-01T22:06:39+00:00

Use the regular tlb_do_page_fault_0 (no write) handler to handle
the RI and XI exceptions. Also skip the RI/XI validation check
on TLB load handler since it's redundant when the CPU has
unique RI/XI exceptions.
