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.

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
& status register is distinct from the MSA control & status register.
In order to allow scalar FP to function correctly in programs using
MSA, the scalar CSR needs to be saved & restored along with the MSA
vector context.

Some versions of the assembler will not assemble CFC1 for OCTEON, so
override the ISA for these.
Add r4k_fpu.o to handle low level FPU initialization.
Modify octeon_switch.S to save the FPU registers. And include
r4k_switch.S to pick up more FPU support.
Get rid of "#define cpu_has_fpu 0"

Nobody is maintaining SMTC anymore and there also seems to be no userbase.
Which is a pity - the SMTC technology primarily developed by Kevin D.
Kissell <kevink@paralogos.com> is an ingenious demonstration for the MT
ASE's power and elegance.
Based on Markos Chandras <Markos.Chandras@imgtec.com> patch
https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/6719/ which while very similar did
no longer apply cleanly when I tried to merge it plus some additional
post-SMTC cleanup - SMTC was a feature as tricky to remove as it was to
merge once upon a time.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

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.

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.

Commit 1400eb6 (MIPS: r4k,octeon,r2300: stack protector: change canary
per task) was merged in v3.11 and introduced assembly in the MIPS resume
functions to update the value of the current canary in
__stack_chk_guard. However it used PTR_L resulting in a load of the
canary value, instead of PTR_LA to construct its address. The value is
intended to be random but is then treated as an address in the
subsequent LONG_S (store).
This was observed to cause a fault and panic:
CPU 0 Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 139fea20, epc == 8000cc0c, ra == 8034f2a4
Oops[#1]:

This can also be forced by modifying
arch/mips/include/asm/stackprotector.h so that the default
__stack_chk_guard value is more likely to be a bad (or unaligned)
pointer.
Fix it to use PTR_LA instead, to load the address of the canary value,
which the LONG_S can then use to write into it.

For non-SMP, uses the new random canary value that is stored in the
task struct whenever a new task is forked. Based on ARM version in
df0698be14c6683606d5df2d83e3ae40f85ed0d9 and subject to the same
limitations: the variable GCC expects, __stack_chk_guard, is global,
so this will not work on SMP.
Quoting Nicolas Pitre <nico@fluxnic.net>: "One way to overcome this
GCC limitation would be to locate the __stack_chk_guard variable into
a memory page of its own for each CPU, and then use TLB locking to
have each CPU see its own page at the same virtual address for each of
them."

So far we're jumping through hoops to keep the file usable from assembler
source but it's getting just too painful. Turns out that many uses of

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!
