<title>MIPS: Fix for warning from FPU emulation code</title>

The default implementation of 'cpu_has_fpu' macro calls
smp_processor_id() which causes this warning to be printed when
preemption is enabled:

[    4.664000] Algorithmics/MIPS FPU Emulator v1.5
[    4.676000] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: ini
[    4.700000] caller is fpu_emulator_cop1Handler+0x434/0x27b8

This problem got introduced in November 2009 by
af1d2af877ef6c36990671bc86a5b9c5bb50b1da (lmo) [MIPS: Fix emulation of
64-bit FPU on 64-bit CPUs.] rsp.  da0bac33413b2888d3623dad3ad19ce76b688f07
(kernel.org) [MIPS: Fix emulation of 64-bit FPU on FPU-less 64-bit CPUs.]
in 2.6.32.

Fixed by rewriting cop1_64bit() to return a constant whenever possible
but most importantly avoid the use pf cpu_has_fpu entirely.

<title>MIPS Kprobes: Refactor branch emulation</title>

<id>d8d4e3ae0b5c179c0bfd3f0af5b352d13bea9cfa</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch refactors MIPS branch emulation code so as to allow skipping
delay slot instruction in case of branch likely instructions when branch is
not taken. This is useful for keeping the code common for use cases like
kprobes where one would like to handle the branch instructions keeping the
delay slot instuction also in picture for branch likely instructions. Also
allow emulation when instruction to be decoded is not at pt_regs-&gt;cp0_epc
as in case of kprobes where pt_regs-&gt;cp0_epc points to the breakpoint
instruction.

The patch also exports the function for modules.

<title>perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interface</title>

<id>a8b0ca17b80e92faab46ee7179ba9e99ccb61233</id>
<content type='text'>
The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.

For the various event classes:

  - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
    the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
  - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
  - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
    perform wakeups, and hence need 0.

As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).

The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

GCC-4.6 can find more unused code than previous versions could.

In the case of arch/mips/math-emu/ieee754int.h, the COMPXSP and
COMPXDP macros are used in several places, but a couple of them leave
xs unused.  The easiest thing to do is mark it as __maybe_unused to
quiet the warning.

We were unconditionally sending SIGBUS with an empty siginfo on FP
emulator faults.  This differs from what happens when real floating
point hardware would get a fault.

For most faults we need to send SIGSEGV with the faulting address
filled in in the struct siginfo.
