commit 39141ddfb63a664f26d3f42f64ee386e879b492c upstream.

After commit 846a136881b8f73c1f74250bf6acfaa309cab1f2 ("ARM: vfp: fix
saving d16-d31 vfp registers on v6+ kernels"), the OMAP 2430SDP board
started crashing during boot with omap2plus_defconfig:

[    3.875122] mmcblk0: mmc0:e624 SD04G 3.69 GiB
[    3.915954]  mmcblk0: p1
[    4.086639] Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1] SMP ARM
[    4.093719] Modules linked in:
[    4.096954] CPU: 0    Not tainted  (3.6.0-02232-g759e00b #570)
[    4.103149] PC is at vfp_reload_hw+0x1c/0x44
[    4.107666] LR is at __und_usr_fault_32+0x0/0x8

It turns out that the context save/restore fix unmasked a latent bug
in commit 5aaf254409f8d58229107b59507a8235b715a960 ("ARM: 6203/1: Make
VFPv3 usable on ARMv6").  When CONFIG_VFPv3 is set, but the kernel is
booted on a pre-VFPv3 core, the code attempts to save and restore the
d16-d31 VFP registers.  These are only present on non-D16 VFPv3+, so
this results in an undefined instruction exception.  The code didn't
crash before commit 846a136 because the save and restore code was
only touching d0-d15, present on all VFP.

Fix by implementing a request from Russell King to add a new HWCAP
flag that affirmatively indicates the presence of the d16-d31
registers:

   http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&amp;m=135013547905283&amp;w=2

and some feedback from Måns to clarify the name of the HWCAP flag.

commit 846a136881b8f73c1f74250bf6acfaa309cab1f2 upstream.

Michael Olbrich reported that his test program fails when built with
-O2 -mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon, and a kernel which supports v6 and v7
CPUs:

volatile int x = 2;
volatile int64_t y = 2;

int main() {
	volatile int a = 0;
	volatile int64_t b = 0;
	while (1) {
		a = (a + x) % (1 &lt;&lt; 30);
		b = (b + y) % (1 &lt;&lt; 30);
		assert(a == b);
	}
}

and two instances are run.  When built for just v7 CPUs, this program
works fine.  It uses the "vadd.i64 d19, d18, d16" VFP instruction.

It appears that we do not save the high-16 double VFP registers across
context switches when the kernel is built for v6 CPUs.  Fix that.

MVFR0 and MVFR1 are only available starting with ARM1136 r1p0 release
according to "B.5 VFP changes" in DDI0211F_arm1136_r1p0_trm.pdf. This is
also when TLS register got added, so we can use HAS_TLS also to test for
MVFR0 and MVFR1.

Otherwise VFPFMRX and VFPFMXR access fails and we get:

Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#1]
PC is at no_old_VFP_process+0x8/0x3c
LR is at __und_svc+0x48/0x80
