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.

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.

This patch introduces definitions for the MSA control registers and
functions which allow access to both the control & vector registers. If
the toolchain being used to build the kernel includes support for MSA
then this patch will make use of that support & use MSA instructions
directly. However toolchain support for MSA is very new & far from a
point where it can be reasonably expected that everyone building the
kernel uses a toolchain with support. Thus fallbacks using .word
assembler directives are also provided for now as a temporary measure.

(cherry picked from commit 49df26472338b935fd5781bf94a77a88b148a716)
Commit 32a7ede (MIPS: dsp: Add assembler support for DSP ASEs) has
enabled the use of DSP ASE specific instructions such as rddsp and wrdsp
under the idea that all code path that will make use of these two
instructions are properly checking for cpu_has_dsp to ensure that the
particular CPU we are running on *actually* supports DSP ASE.
This commit actually causes the following oops on QEMU Malta emulating a

The problem here is that the compiler was given the right to use DSP
instructions with the -mdsp / -mdspr2 command-line switches and
performed some optimization for us and used DSP ASE instructions where
we are not checking that the running CPU actually supports DSP ASE.
This patch fixes the issue by partially reverting commit 32a7ede for
arch/mips/kernel/Makefile in order to remove the -mdsp / -mdspr2
compiler command-line switches such that we are now guaranteed that the
compiler will not optimize using DSP ASE reserved instructions. We also
need to fixup the rddsp/wrdsp and m{t,h}{hi,lo}{0,1,2,3} macros in
arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h to tell the assembler that we are going
to explicitely use DSP ASE reserved instructions. The comment in
arch/mips/kernel/Makefile is also updated to reflect that.

In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register
are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases,
this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero
exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to
restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In
this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would
cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution
is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of
the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware
that the code is emulating.
This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes
to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words:
I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The
Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the
CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that
actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would
work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of
the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic
(which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't
necessarily writable.

The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a
greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific
registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine
which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work.
On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register,
specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses
that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected
to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.
