MIPS: Use copy_s.fmt rather than copy_u.fmt

2016-05-09T10:00:04+00:00

In revision 1.12 of the MSA specification, the copy_u.w instruction has
been removed for MIPS32 & the copy_u.d instruction has been removed for
MIPS64. Newer toolchains (eg. Codescape SDK essentials 2015.10) will
complain about this like so:

arch/mips/kernel/r4k_fpu.S:290: Error: opcode not supported on this
processor: mips32r2 (mips32r2) `copy_u.w $1,$w26[3]'

Since we always copy to the width of a GPR, simply use copy_s instead of
copy_u to fix this.

MIPS: Avoid variant of .type unsupported by LLVM Assembler

2016-02-29T10:23:49+00:00

The target independent parts of the LLVM Lexer considers 'fault@function'
to be a single token representing the 'fault' symbol with a 'function'
modifier. However, this is not the case in the .type directive where
'function' refers to STT_FUNC from the ELF standard.

Although GAS accepts it, '.type symbol@function' is an undocumented form of
this directive. The documentation specifies a comma between the symbol and
'@function'.

MIPS: Save MSA extended context around signals

2015-09-03T10:07:59+00:00

It is desirable for signal handlers to be allowed to make use of MSA,
particularly if auto vectorisation is used when compiling a program.
The MSA context must therefore be saved & restored before & after
invoking the signal handler. Make use of the extended context structs
defined in the preceding patch to save MSA context after the sigframe
when appropriate.

MIPS: Use common FP sigcontext code for O32 compat

2015-09-03T10:07:56+00:00

Make use of the common FP sigcontext code for O32 binaries running on
MIPS64 kernels now that it is taking appropriate offsets into struct
sigcontext(32) from struct mips_abi.

MIPS: Use struct mips_abi offsets to save FP context

2015-09-03T10:07:55+00:00

When saving FP state to struct sigcontext, make use of the offsets
provided by struct mips_abi to obtain appropriate addresses for the
sc_fpregs & sc_fpc_csr fields of the sigcontext. This is done only for
the native struct sigcontext in this patch (ie. for O32 in CONFIG_32BIT
kernels or for N64 in CONFIG_64BIT kernels) but is done in preparation
for sharing this code with compat ABIs in further patches.

MIPS: Introduce accessors for MSA vector registers

2015-09-03T10:07:40+00:00

Introduce accessor functions allowing the kernel to access arbitrary
vector registers using an arbitrary data format. The accessors are
implemented in assembly, using macros to avoid massive duplication, in
order to make use of the existing support for MSA with & without
toolchain support. The accessors will be used in a later patch.

MIPS: Push .set mips64r* into the functions needing it

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

The {save,restore}_fp_context{,32} functions require that the assembler
allows the use of sdc instructions on any FP register, and this is
acomplished by setting the arch to mips64r2 or mips64r6
(using MIPS_ISA_ARCH_LEVEL_RAW).

However this has the effect of enabling the assembler to use mips64
instructions in the expansion of pseudo-instructions. This was done in
the (now-reverted) commit eec43a224cf1 "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context
around signals" which led to my mistakenly believing that there was an
assembler bug, when in reality the assembler was just emitting mips64
instructions. Avoid the issue for future commits which will add code to
r4k_fpu.S by pushing the .set MIPS_ISA_ARCH_LEVEL_RAW directives into
the functions that require it, and remove the spurious assertion
declaring the assembler bug.

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.

Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals"

2014-06-26T09:48:18+00:00

This reverts commit eec43a224cf1 "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around
signals" and the MSA parts of ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel: signal:
Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory" (the restore path of
which appears incorrect anyway...).

The reverted patch took care not to break compatibility with userland
users of struct sigcontext, but inadvertantly changed the offset of the
uc_sigmask field of struct ucontext. Thus Linux v3.15 breaks the
userland ABI. The MSA context will need to be saved via some other
opt-in mechanism, but for now revert the change to reduce the fallout.

This will have minimal impact upon use of MSA since the only supported
CPU which includes it (the P5600) is 32-bit and therefore requires that
the experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option be selected
before the kernel will set FR=1 for a task, a requirement for MSA use.
Thus the users of MSA are limited to known small groups of people & this
patch won't be breaking any previously working MSA-using userland
outside of experimental settings.
