MIPS: lose_fpu(): Disable FPU when MSA enabled

2015-05-17T23:11:51Z

[ Upstream commit f8483988cadd7dd22de928db29ed3bcbe02faf78 ] The lose_fpu() function only disables the FPU in CP0_Status.CU1 if the FPU is in use and MSA isn't enabled. This isn't necessarily a problem because KSTK_STATUS(current), the version of CP0_Status stored on the kernel stack on entry from user mode, does always get updated and gets restored when returning to user mode, but I don't think it was intended, and it is inconsistent with the case of only the FPU being in use. Sometimes leaving the FPU enabled may also mask kernel bugs where FPU operations are executed when the FPU might not be enabled. So lets disable the FPU in the MSA case too.

MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+

2014-11-07T14:07:36Z

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.

MIPS: disable preemption whilst initialising MSA

2014-08-01T22:06:44Z

Preemption must be disabled throughout the process of enabling the FPU, enabling MSA & initialising the vector registers. Without doing so it is possible to lose the FPU or MSA whilst initialising them causing that initialisation to fail.

MIPS: save/disable MSA in lose_fpu

2014-08-01T22:06:43Z

The kernel depends upon MSA never being enabled when the FPU is not, a condition which is currently violated in a few places (whilst saving sigcontext, following mips_cpu_save). Catch all the problem cases by disabling MSA in lose_fpu, after saving context if necessary.

MIPS: Simplify FP context access

2014-03-26T22:09:09Z

This patch replaces the fpureg_t typedef with a "union fpureg" enabling easier access to 32 & 64 bit values. This allows the access macros used in cp1emu.c to be simplified somewhat. It will also make it easier to expand the width of the FP registers as will be done in a future patch in order to support the 128 bit registers introduced with MSA. No behavioural change is intended by this patch.

MIPS: Replace CONFIG_MIPS64 and CONFIG_MIPS32_R2

2014-03-14T16:49:16Z

Commit 597ce1723e0f ("MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binaries") introduced references to two undefined Kconfig macros. CONFIG_MIPS32_R2 should clearly be replaced with CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R2. And CONFIG_MIPS64 should be replaced with CONFIG_64BIT.

MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binaries

2014-01-13T22:40:56Z

CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32 bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a 64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF header. With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't require it. Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more cleanly & correctly.
