Add initialisation for Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers. Generic
code cannot know the platform-specific requirements with regards to
speculative accesses, so it simply calls a platform_maar_init function
which platforms with MAARs are expected to implement by calling the
provided write_maar_pair function & returning the number of MAAR pairs
used. A weak default implementation will simply use no MAAR pairs. Any
present but unused MAAR pairs are then marked invalid, effectively
disabling them.
The end result of this patch is that MAARs are all marked invalid, until
platforms implement the platform_maar_init function.

Add accessor macros for the Memory Accessibility Attribute Registers
(MAARs), the bits contained within the MAARs & the Config5.MRP bit
indicating their presence. The only current use of the MAARs is to
enable speculative accesses to regions of memory. Besides the potential
performance benefits of speculative accesses, they are a requirement
for the P5600 core to handle non-128b-aligned MSA vector loads & stores
rather than generating an address error.

In light of the commit 16f77de82f (Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA
context around signals") the MSA support in the kernel is incomplete.
Until the replacement for the former sigcontext changes is agreed upon
and in tree, mark MSA experimental & disable it by default.
MSA is only implemented by one CPU supported by the kernel, the P5600.
The P5600 is a 32 bit core, and thus MSA can only be used when the
experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT option is enabled. Therefore
MSA is only being used in experimental settings anyway and this change
doesn't actually make any difference beyond clarifying the state of
MSA support.

The TIF_MSA_CTX_LIVE flag (indicating that a task has MSA context which
needs to be preserved) was being cleared in start_thread, but the
TIF_USEDMSA flag (indicating that a task has used MSA in this timeslice)
was not. In copy_thread neither flag was cleared, but both need to be.
Without clearing these flags the kernel will proceed to attempt to save
MSA context when the task is context switched out, and if the task had
not used MSA in the meantime then it will fail because MSA or the FPU
are disabled. The end result is typically:

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.

The kernel relies upon MSA being disabled when a task begins running,
so that it can initialise or restore context in response to the
resulting MSA disabled exception. Previously the state of MSA following
boot was left as it was before the kernel ran, where MSA could
potentially have been enabled. Explicitly disable it during boot to
prevent any problems.
As a nice side effect the code reads a little better too.

When a task first makes use of MSA we need to ensure that the upper
64b of the vector registers are set to some value such that no
information can be leaked to it from the previous task to use MSA
context on the CPU. The architecture formerly specified that these
bits would be cleared to 0 when a scalar FP instructions wrote to the
aliased FP registers, which would have implicitly handled this as the
kernel restored scalar FP context. However more recent versions of the
specification now state that the value of the bits in such cases is
unpredictable. Initialise them explictly to be sure, and set all the
bits to 1 rather than 0 for consistency with the least significant
64b.

Switching the vector context implicitly saves & restores the state of
the aliased scalar FP data registers, however the scalar FP control

In order to allow scalar FP to function correctly in programs using

The GICBIS macro could update the GIC registers incorrectly, depending
on the data value passed in:
* Bits were only OR'd into the register data, so register fields could

* Bits were OR'd into the register data without masking the data to the
correct field width, corrupting adjacent bits.

gic_get_int_mask() which takes a bitmask of interrupts in which the

This allows CP0 IRQ dispatch routines to check only the GIC interrupts
which are routed to a particular CPU interrupt input.

The Hardware Page Table Walker aims to speed up TLB refill exceptions
by handling them in the hardware level instead of having a software
TLB refill handler. However, a TLB refill exception can still be
thrown in certain cases such as, synchronus exceptions, or address
translation or memory errors during the HTW operation. As a result of
which, HTW must not be considered a complete replacement for the TLB
refill software handler, but rather a fast-path for it.
For HTW to work, the PWBase register must contain the task's page
global directory address so the HTW will kick in on TLB refill
exceptions.
Due to HTW being a separate engine embedded deep in the CPU pipeline,
we need to restart the HTW everytime a PTE changes to avoid HTW
fetching a old entry from the page tables. It's also necessary to
restart the HTW on context switches to prevent it from fetching a
page from the previous process. Finally, since HTW is using the
entryhi register to write the translations to the TLB, it's necessary
to stop the HTW whenever the entryhi changes (eg for tlb probe
perations) and enable it back afterwards.
== Performance ==
The following trivial test was used to measure the performance of the
HTW. Using the same root filesystem, the following command was used
to measure the number of tlb refill handler executions with and
without (using 'nohtw' kernel parameter) HTW support. The kernel was
modified to use a scratch register as a counter for the TLB refill
exceptions.
find /usr -type f -exec ls -lh {} \;
HTW Enabled:
TLB refill exceptions: 12306
HTW Disabled:
TLB refill exceptions: 17805

used by any kernel API, in particular it does not match the format used
by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS.
Therefore, replace the structure definition with one matching what is
used by PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS. The format used by these is the same for
both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Also, change the implementation of PTRACE_{GET,SET}REGS to use this new

__KERNEL__ is defined to avoid conflicts with the kernel's own pt_regs.

On 32-bit/O32, pt_regs has a padding area at the beginning into which the
syscall arguments passed via the user stack are copied. 4 arguments
totalling 16 bytes are copied to offset 16 bytes into this area, however
the area is only 24 bytes long. This means the last 2 arguments overwrite
pt_regs->regs[{0,1}].
If a syscall function returns an error, handle_sys stores the original
syscall number in pt_regs->regs[0] for syscall restart. signal.c checks
whether regs[0] is non-zero, if it is it will check whether the syscall
return value is one of the ERESTART* codes to see if it must be
restarted.
Should a syscall be made that results in a non-zero value being copied
off the user stack into regs[0], and then returns a positive (non-error)
value that matches one of the ERESTART* error codes, this can be mistaken
for requiring a syscall restart.
While the possibility for this to occur has always existed, it is made
much more likely to occur by commit 46e12c07b3 ("MIPS: O32 / 32-bit:
Always copy 4 stack arguments."), since now every syscall will copy 4
arguments and overwrite regs[0], rather than just those with 7 or 8
arguments.
Since that commit, booting Debian under a 32-bit MIPS kernel almost
always results in a hang early in boot, due to a wait4 syscall returning
a PID that matches one of the ERESTART* codes, which then causes an
incorrect restart of the syscall.
The problem is fixed by increasing the size of the padding area so that
arguments copied off the stack will not overwrite pt_regs->regs[{0,1}].

Avoid SMP cacheflushes. This is a minor optimization of startup but
will also avoid smp_call_function from doing stupid things when called
from a CPU that is not yet marked online.
missed an appropriate cache flush of TLB refill handler because that time it was
at fixed location CAC_BASE. After years the refill handler in EBASE vector
is not at that location and can be allocated in some another memory and needs
I-cache sync as other TLB exception vectors.
Besides that, the new function - local_flash_icache_range() was introduced
to avoid SMP cacheflushes.
