SEGBITS is 40 bits or more, depending on CPU type. Introduces optional
support for 48 bits of application virtual address space. Only 16K and
64K pages are supported.
Enabling will result in a memory overhead of a small number of pages for
small applications. For 64K pages a 3rd level of page tables is required
which has some impact during software TLB refill.

posted and changed kconfig to be a bit more userfriendly.]

TASK_SIZE was defined as 0x7fff8000UL which for 64k pages is not a
multiple of the page size. Somewhere further down the math fails
such that executing an ELF binary fails.

Add an initial implementation of a proper (i.e. an ELF shared library)
VDSO. With this commit it does not export any symbols, it only replaces
the current signal return trampoline page. A later commit will add user
implementations of gettimeofday()/clock_gettime().
To support both new toolchains and old ones which don't generate ABI
flags section, we define its content manually and then use a tool
(genvdso) to patch up the section to have the correct name and type.
genvdso also extracts symbol offsets ({,rt_}sigreturn) needed by the
kernel, and generates a C file containing a "struct mips_vdso_image"
containing both the VDSO data and these offsets. This C file is
compiled into the kernel.
On 64-bit kernels we require a different VDSO for each supported ABI,
so we may build up to 3 different VDSOs. The VDSO to use is selected by
the mips_abi structure.
A kernel/user shared data page is created and mapped below the VDSO
image. This is currently empty, but will be used by the user time
function implementations which are added later.
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Add more comments
- Move abi detection in genvdso.h since it's the get_symbol function
that needs it.
- Add an R6 specific way to calculate the base address of VDSO in order
to avoid the branch instruction which affects performance.
- Do not patch .gnu.attributes since it's not needed for dynamic linking.
- Simplify Makefile a little bit.
- checkpatch fixes
- Restrict VDSO support for binutils < 2.25 for pre-R6
- Include atomic64.h for O32 variant on MIPS64]

Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
Userland code may be built using an ABI which permits linking to objects
that have more restrictive floating point requirements. For example,
userland code may be built to target the O32 FPXX ABI. Such code may be
linked with other FPXX code, or code built for either one of the more
restrictive FP32 or FP64. When linking with more restrictive code, the
overall requirement of the process becomes that of the more restrictive
code. The kernel has no way to know in advance which mode the process
will need to be executed in, and indeed it may need to change during
execution. The dynamic loader is the only code which will know the
overall required mode, and so it needs to have a means to instruct the
kernel to switch the FP mode of the process.
This patch introduces 2 new options to the prctl syscall which provide
such a capability. The FP mode of the process is represented as a
simple bitmask combining a number of mode bits mirroring those present
in the hardware. Userland can either retrieve the current FP mode of
the process:
mode = prctl(PR_GET_FP_MODE);
or modify the current FP mode of the process:
err = prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, new_mode);

The MSA specification upon first read appears to suggest that it is safe
to perform vector loads & stores with arbitrary alignment. However it
leaves provision for "address-dependent exceptions"... Align the vector
context to a 16 byte boundary to ensure that the kernel cannot cause any
such exceptions.
Note that the fpu field of struct thread_struct was already at a 16 byte
boundary within the struct, the introduction of FPU_ALIGN simply makes
the requirement explicit. The only part of this impacting the generated
kernel binary is ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN.

This patch adds support for context switching the MSA vector registers.
These 128 bit vector registers are aliased with the FP registers - an
FP register accesses the least significant bits of the vector register
with which it is aliased (ie. the register with the same index). Due to
both this & the requirement that the scalar FPU must be 64-bit (FR=1) if
enabled at the same time as MSA the kernel will enable MSA & scalar FP
at the same time for tasks which use MSA. If we restore the MSA vector
context then we might as well enable the scalar FPU since the reason it
was left disabled was to allow for lazy FP context restoring - but we
just restored the FP context as it's a subset of the vector context. If
we restore the FP context and have previously used MSA then we have to
restore the whole vector context anyway (see comment in
enable_restore_fp_context for details) so similarly we might as well
enable MSA.
Thus if a task does not use MSA then it will continue to behave as
without this patch - the scalar FP context will be saved & restored as
usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save &
restore the vector context forever more.

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.

The TASK_SIZE macro should reflect the size of a user process virtual
address space. Previously for 64-bit kernels, this was not the case.
The immediate cause of pain was in
hugetlbfs/inode.c:hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() where 32-bit processes
trying to mmap a huge page would be served a page with an address
outside of the 32-bit address range. But there are other uses of
TASK_SIZE in the kernel as well that would like an accurate value.
The new definition is nice because it now makes TASK_SIZE and
TASK_SIZE_OF() yield the same value for any given process.
For 32-bit kernels there should be no change, although I did factor
out some code in asm/processor.h that became identical for the 32-bit and
64-bit cases.
__UA_LIMIT is now set to ~((1 << SEGBITS) - 1) for 64-bit kernels.
This should eliminate the possibility of getting a
AddressErrorException in the kernel for addresses that pass the
access_ok() test.
With the patch applied, I can still run o32, n32 and n64 processes,
and have an o32 shell fork/exec both n32 and n64 processes.

GCC's __builtin_prefetch() was introduced a long time ago, all
supported GCC versions have it. Lets do what the big boys up in
linux/prefetch.h do, except we use '1' as the third parameter to
provoke 'PREF 0,...' and 'PREF 1,...' instead of other prefetch
hints.
This allows for better code generation. In theory the existing
embedded asm could be optimized, but the compiler has these builtins,
so there is really no point.

This is a preliminary patch to add a vdso to all user processes. Still
missing are ELF headers and .eh_frame information. But it is enough to
allow us to move signal trampolines off of the stack. Note that emulation
of branch delay slots in the FPU emulator still requires the stack.
We allocate a single page (the vdso) and write all possible signal
trampolines into it. The stack is moved down by one page and the vdso is
mapped into this space.

The resume() implementation octeon_switch.S examines the saved cp0_status
register. We were clobbering the entire pt_regs structure in kernel
threads leading to random crashes.
When switching away from a kernel thread, the saved cp0_status is examined
and if bit 30 is set it is cleared and the CP2 state saved into the pt_regs
structure. Since the kernel thread stack overlaid the pt_regs structure
this resulted in a corrupt stack. When the kthread with the corrupt stack
was resumed, it could crash if it used any of the data in the stack that was
clobbered.
We fix it by moving the kernel thread stack down so it doesn't overlay
pt_regs.
