This patch reads the .MIPS.abiflags section when it is present, and sets
the FP mode of the task accordingly. Any loaded ELF files which do not
contain a .MIPS.abiflags section will continue to observe the previous
behaviour, that is FR=1 if EF_MIPS_FP64 is set else FR=0.

New toolchains will generate a .MIPS.abiflags section, referenced by a
new PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header. This section will provide
information about the requirements of the ELF, including the ISA level
the code is built for, the ASEs it requires, the size of various
registers and its expectations of the floating point mode. This patch
introduces a definition of the structure of this section and the program
header, for use in a subsequent patch.

Hybrid FPRs is a scheme where scalar FP registers are 64b wide, but
accesses to odd indexed single registers use bits 63:32 of the
preceeding even indexed 64b register. In this mode all FP code
except that built for the plain FP64 ABI can execute correctly. Most
notably a combination of FP64A & FP32 code can execute correctly,
allowing for existing FP32 binaries to be linked with new FP64A binaries
that can make use of 64 bit FP & MSA.
Hybrid FPRs are implemented by setting both the FR & FRE bits, trapping
& emulating single precision FP instructions (via Reserved Instruction
exceptions) whilst allowing others to execute natively. It therefore has
a penalty in terms of execution speed, and should only be used when no
fully native mode can be. As more binaries are recompiled to use either
the FPXX or FP64(A) ABIs, the need for hybrid FPRs should diminish.
However in the short to mid term it allows for a gradual transition
towards that world, rather than a complete ABI break which is not
feasible for some users & not desirable for many.
A task will be executed using the hybrid FPR scheme when its
TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS flag is set & TIF_32BIT_FPREGS is clear. A further
patch will set the flags as necessary, this patch simply adds the
infrastructure necessary for the hybrid FPR mode to work.

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.

The high bits of current->personality carry settings that we don't want to
clobber on each exec. Only clobber them if the lower bits that indicate
either PER_LINUX or PER_LINUX32 are invalid.
The clobbering prevents us from using useful bits like ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.

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.

kernel/elfcore.c includes <linux/elf.h> which includes the <asm/elf.h>. In
<asm/elf.h>, struct pt_regs is declared inside the parameter list of the
elf_dump_regs function which causes a kernel build warning.
Fixed by adding a forward declaration of struct pt_regs.

The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries
optimized for the current CPU archecture variant. First we need to allow it
to be set to something other than NULL. Follow-on patches will set some
values for specific CPUs.
GLIBC already does the right thing. The kernel just needs to supply good
data.

If an o32 process generates a core dump on a 64 bit kernel, the core file
will not be correctly recognized. This is because ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and
ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS are not correctly defined for o32 and will use
the default register set which would be CONFIG_64BIT in asm/elf.h.
So we'll switch to use the right register defines in this situation by
checking for WANT_COMPAT_REG_H and use the right defines of
ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS and ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS.
[Ralf: made ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS() bullet-proof against funny arguments.]
