commit 510d86362a27577f5ee23f46cfb354ad49731e61 upstream.
The SAVE_SOME macro is used to save the execution context on all
exceptions.
If an exception occurs while executing user code, the stack is switched
to the kernel's stack for the current task, and register $28 is switched
to point to the current_thread_info, which is at the bottom of the stack
region.
If the exception occurs while executing kernel code, the stack is left,
and this change ensures that register $28 is not updated. This is the
correct behaviour when the kernel can be executing on the separate irq
stack, because the thread_info will not be at the base of it.
With this change, register $28 is only switched to it's kernel
conventional usage of the currrent thread info pointer at the point at
which execution enters kernel space. Doing it on every exception was
redundant, but OK without an IRQ stack, but will be erroneous once that
is introduced.

When EVA is enabled, flush the Return Prediction Stack (RPS) present on
some MIPS cores on entry to the kernel from user mode.
This is important specifically for interAptiv with EVA enabled,
otherwise kernel mode RPS mispredicts may trigger speculative fetches of
user return addresses, which may be sensitive in the kernel address
space due to EVA's overlapping user/kernel address spaces.

The HI/LO registers have been removed from MIPS R6. Instructions
such as MULT and DIV have been replaced with a new pair of
instructions for the HI/LO operations for example:
MULT -> MUL, MUH
DIV -> DIV, MOD
So we avoid preserving the pre-R6 HI/LO registers in MIPS R6

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

The ABI allows these to be clobbered on syscalls, so only save and
restore the multiplier state when the temporary registers need to be
preserved.

All exceptions must be taken in microMIPS mode, never in classic
MIPS mode or the kernel falls apart. A few NOP instructions are
used to maintain the correct alignment of microMIPS versions of
the exception vectors.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

As per chapter 15 "Errata: Issue of Out-of-order in loongson"[1] to work
around the Loongson 2F erratum we need to do:
"When switching from user mode to kernel mode, you should flush the
branch target history such as BTB and RAS."

Processors that support the mips64r2 ISA can in four instructions
convert a shifted PGD pointer stored in the upper bits of c0_context
into a usable pointer. By doing this we save a memory load and
associated potential cache miss in the TLB exception handlers.
Since the upper bits of c0_context were holding the CPU number, we
move this to the upper bits of c0_xcontext which doesn't have enough
bits to hold the PGD pointer, but has plenty for the CPU number.
