2011-12-07MIPS Kprobes: Refactor branch emulationManeesh Soni
This patch refactors MIPS branch emulation code so as to allow skipping delay slot instruction in case of branch likely instructions when branch is not taken. This is useful for keeping the code common for use cases like kprobes where one would like to handle the branch instructions keeping the delay slot instuction also in picture for branch likely instructions. Also allow emulation when instruction to be decoded is not at pt_regs->cp0_epc as in case of kprobes where pt_regs->cp0_epc points to the breakpoint instruction. The patch also exports the function for modules.

2010-10-18MIPS: Sanitize restart logicsAl Viro
Put the original syscall number into ->regs[0] when we leave syscall with error. Use it in restart logics. Everything else will have it 0 since we pass through SAVE_SOME on all the ways in. Note that in places like bad_stack and inllegal_syscall we leave it 0 - it's not restartable.

2006-06-19[MIPS] Unify mips_fpu_soft_struct and mips_fpu_hard_structs.Atsushi Nemoto
The struct mips_fpu_soft_struct and mips_fpu_hard_struct are completely same now and the kernel fpu emulator assumes that. This patch unifies them to mips_fpu_struct and get rid of mips_fpu_union. Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto <anemo@mba.ocn.ne.jp> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2006-04-27[MIPS] Fix branch emulation for floating-point exceptions.Ralf Baechle
In the branch emulation for floating-point exceptions, __compute_return_epc must determine for bc1f et al which condition code bit to test. This is based on bits <4:2> of the rt field. The switch statement to distinguish bc1f et al needs to use only the two low bits of rt, but the old code tests on the whole rt field. This patch masks off the proper bits.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
