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 -mfix-loongson2f-jump option provided by latest CVS binutils have fixed
the out-of-order issue of Loongson-2F described in chapter 15 of the
Loongson2F User Manual [1, 2], but introduced some problems.
The option changes all of the jump target to "addr & 0xcfffffff" through the
at($1) register, but for the reboot address of Loongson 2F 0xbfc00000 this is
wrong. Avoids the problem via telling the assembler to not use the $at
register.

With the "Fixups of Loongson2F" patch [1] having been applied to binutils
for binutils 2.20.1 we now can use it's time to enable the options provided
by the patch to compile the kernel.
Without these fixups, the system may hang if the erratum is triggered.

As documented in the Loongson 2F User Manual [2, 3], the old Loongson2F
series (2F01 / 2F02) have the NOP & JUMP issues which requires workarounds
in the kernel and binutils. This issue has been rectified in Loongson 2F
series 2F03 so no workarounds needed.
Now that the workarounds [1] adding the the -mfix-loongson2f-nop and
-mfix-loongson2f-jump options have been comitted to the binutils the CVS
repository), we can add the workarounds in the kernel.
The workarounds have no significant side effect on the system but may
decrease performance so we control them through a a new
CPU_LOONGSON2F_WORKAROUNDS config option allowing the users to only enable
it as necessary.

"MIPS: Calculate proper ebase value for 64-bit kernels"
9af43ea080dd5d6c7b34f38261780e5dd43537bc (lmo) rsp.
f6be75d03c8870be91e6e2a195648ece04b6bb16 (kernel.org) broke some 64-bit
MIPS systems.
Before this we were using XKPHYS/cached as ebase and computed the uncached
xphsys/unchached address for that area. After that commit ebase became a
32-bit compat address and convert does not work anymore. We now should use
CKSEG1 for this. CKSEG1ADDR does just that in 32-bit and 64-bit.

For some combinations of PAGE_SIZE and vmbits, it is possible to have
userspace access that are beyond what is covered by the PGD, but within
vmbits. Such an access would cause the TLB refill handler to load garbage
values for PMD and PTE potentially giving userspace access to parts of the
physical address space to which it is not entitled.
In the TLB refill hot path, we add a single dsrl instruction so we can
check if any bits outside of the range covered by the PGD are set. In
the vmalloc side we then separate the bad case from the normal vmalloc
case and call tlb_do_page_fault_0 if warranted. This slows us down a
bit, but has the benefit of yielding deterministic behavior.
[Ralf: Fixed build error for 32-bit kernels.]

The MIPS implementation of die() forgets to call notify_die() and thus notifiers
registered via register_die_notifier() are not called. This results in kgdb not
being activated on exceptions.
The only subtlety is that notify_die declares its regs argument w/o const, so
the const had to be removed from mips die() as well.

Same issues as SD card detection: One of both is always triggering and the
handlers take care to shut it up and enable the other. To avoid messages
about "unbalanced interrupt enable/disable" they must not be automatically
enabled when initally requested.
This was not an issue with the db1200_defconfig due to fortunate timings;
on a build without network chip support the warnings appear.

In the 64-bit kernel we use swapper_pg_dir for three different things.
1) xuseg mappings for kernel threads.
2) vmap mappings for all kernel-space accesses in xkseg.
3) vmap mappings for kernel modules in ksseg (kseg2).
Due to how the TLB refill handlers work, any mapping established in
xkseg or ksseg will also establish a xuseg mapping that should never
be used by the kernel.
In order to be able to use exceptions to trap NULL pointer
dereferences, we need to ensure that nothing is mapped at address
zero. Since vmap mappings in xkseg are reflected in xuseg, this means
we need to ensure that there are no vmap mappings established at the
start of xkseg. So we move back VMALLOC_START to avoid establishing
vmap mappings at the start of xkseg.

The ebase is relative to CKSEG0 not CAC_BASE. On a 32-bit kernel they
are the same thing, for a 64-bit kernel they are not.
It happens to kind of work on a 64-bit kernel as they both reference
the same physical memory. However since the CPU uses the CKSEG0 base,
determining if a J instruction will reach always gives the wrong result
unless we use the same number the CPU uses.

351336929ccf222ae38ff0cb7a8dd5fd5c6236a0 (kernel.org) break non-GPL modules
that use __vmalloc() or any of the vmap(), vm_map_ram(), etc functions on
MIPS.
All those functions are EXPORT_SYMBOL() so are meant to be allowed to be
used by non-GPL kernel modules. These calls all take page protection as
an argument which is normally a constant like PAGE_KERNEL.
This commit causes all protection constants like PAGE_KERNEL to not be
constants and instead to contain the GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default.
This means that all calls to __vmalloc(), vmap(), etc, cause non-GPL
modules to fail to link with the complaint that they are trying to use the
GPL-only symbol _page_cachable_default...
Change EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(_page_cachable_default) to EXPORT_SYMBOL() for
non-GPL modules that call __vmalloc(), vmap(), vm_map_ram() etc.

Previously it was unconditionally used on all Sibyte family SOCs. The

2-3% performance improvment. This is important as required changes to the
M3 workaround will make it more costly.

around the Loongson 2F erratum we need to do:
"When switching from user mode to kernel mode, you should flush the
branch target history such as BTB and RAS."

This is a follow on to the vdso patch.
Since all processes now have signal trampolines permanently mapped, we
can use those instead of putting the trampoline on the stack and
invalidating the corresponding icache across all CPUs. We also get rid
of a bunch of ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR code.
[Ralf: GDB 7.1 which has the necessary modifications to allow backtracing
over signal frames will supposedly be released tomorrow. The old signal
frame format obsoleted by this patch exists in two variations, for sane
processors and for those requiring ICACHE_REFILLS_WORKAROUND_WAR. So
there was never a GDB which did support backtracing over signal frames
on all MIPS systems. This convinved me this series should be applied and
pushed upstream as soon as possible.]

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.
