When emulating TLB miss / invalid exceptions during CACHE instruction
emulation, be sure to set up the correct PC and host_cp0_badvaddr state
for the kvm_mips_emlulate_tlb*_ld() function to pick up for guest EPC
and BadVAddr.

PC needs to be rewound otherwise the guest EPC will end up pointing at
the next instruction after the faulting CACHE instruction.

host_cp0_badvaddr must be set because guest CACHE instructions trap with
a Coprocessor Unusable exception, which doesn't update the host BadVAddr
as a TLB exception would.

This doesn't tend to get hit when dynamic translation of emulated
instructions is enabled, since only the first execution of each CACHE
instruction actually goes through this code path, with subsequent
executions hitting the SYNCI instruction that it gets replaced with.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Don't unwind PC when emulating CACHE</title>

When a CACHE instruction is emulated by kvm_mips_emulate_cache(), the PC
is first updated to point to the next instruction, and afterwards it
falls through the "dont_update_pc" label, which rewinds the PC back to
its original address.

This works when dynamic translation of emulated instructions is enabled,
since the CACHE instruction is replaced with a SYNCI which works without
trapping, however when dynamic translation is disabled the guest hangs
on CACHE instructions as they always trap and are never stepped over.

Roughly swap the meanings of the "done" and "dont_update_pc" to match
kvm_mips_emulate_CP0(), so that "done" will roll back the PC on failure,
and "dont_update_pc" won't change PC at all (for the sake of exceptions
that have already modified the PC).

<title>MIPS: KVM: Include bit 31 in segment matches</title>

When faulting guest addresses are matched against guest segments with
the KVM_GUEST_KSEGX() macro, change the mask to 0xe0000000 so as to
include bit 31.

This is mainly for safety's sake, as it prevents a rogue BadVAddr in the
host kseg2/kseg3 segments (e.g. 0xC*******) after a TLB exception from
matching the guest kseg0 segment (e.g. 0x4*******), triggering an
internal KVM error instead of allowing the corresponding guest kseg0
page to be mapped into the host vmalloc space.

Such a rogue BadVAddr was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel
running under QEMU with KVM built as a module, due to a not entirely
transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB handling. This has already been
worked around properly in a previous commit.

Copy __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() into unmapped memory, so that we can never
get a TLB refill exception in it when KVM is built as a module.

This was observed to happen with the host MIPS kernel running under
QEMU, due to a not entirely transparent optimisation in the QEMU TLB
handling where TLB entries replaced with TLBWR are copied to a separate
part of the TLB array. Code in those pages continue to be executable,
but those mappings persist only until the next ASID switch, even if they
are marked global.

An ASID switch happens in __kvm_mips_vcpu_run() at exception level after
switching to the guest exception base. Subsequent TLB mapped kernel
instructions just prior to switching to the guest trigger a TLB refill
exception, which enters the guest exception handlers without updating
EPC. This appears as a guest triggered TLB refill on a host kernel
mapped (host KSeg2) address, which is not handled correctly as user
(guest) mode accesses to kernel (host) segments always generate address
error exceptions.

In microMIPS kernels, handle_signal() sets the isa16 mode bit in the
vdso address so that the sigreturn trampolines (which are offset from
the VDSO) get executed as microMIPS.

However commit ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO")
changed the offsets to come from the VDSO image, which already have the
isa16 mode bit set correctly since they're extracted from the VDSO
shared library symbol table.

Drop the isa16 mode bit handling from handle_signal() to fix sigreturn
for cores which support both microMIPS and normal MIPS. This doesn't fix
microMIPS only cores, since the VDSO is still built for normal MIPS, but
thats a separate problem.

However commit ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO")
changed the offsets to come from the VDSO image, which already have the
isa16 mode bit set correctly since they're extracted from the VDSO
shared library symbol table.

Drop the isa16 mode bit handling from handle_signal() to fix sigreturn
for cores which support both microMIPS and normal MIPS. This doesn't fix
microMIPS only cores, since the VDSO is still built for normal MIPS, but
thats a separate problem.

Here is the quote from [1]:

    The unit-address must match the first address specified
    in the reg property of the node. If the node has no reg property,
    the @ and unit-address must be omitted and the node-name alone
    differentiates the node from other nodes at the same level

This patch adjusts MIPS dts-files and devicetree binding
documentation in accordance with [1].

Avoid an aliasing issue causing a build error in VDSO:

`-fno-strict-aliasing' along with compiler options used, as required for
kernel code, fixing a problem present since the introduction of VDSO
with commit ebb5e78cc634 ("MIPS: Initial implementation of a VDSO").

Thanks to Tejun for diagnosing this properly!
