[ Upstream commit da09935975c8f8c90d6f57be2422dee5557206cd ]

When MIPS_FP_SUPPORT is disabled, __sanitize_fcr31() is defined as
nothing, which triggers a gcc warning:

    In file included from kernel/sched/core.c:79:
    kernel/sched/core.c: In function 'context_switch':
    ./arch/mips/include/asm/switch_to.h:114:39: warning: suggest braces around empty body in an 'if' statement [-Wempty-body]
      114 |                 __sanitize_fcr31(next);                                 \

     5316 |         switch_to(prev, next, prev);
          |         ^~~~~~~~~

Fix this by providing an empty body for __sanitize_fcr31() like one is
defined for __mips_mt_fpaff_switch_to().

Some processors (such as Loongson-3) need to enable CU2 in kernel mode,
current set/clear method will lose Status.CU2 during context switching,
so use save/restore method instead.

<title>mips: Add MIPS Release 5 support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ab7c01fdc3cfe02256e777a36366b70e2a539c27</id>
<content type='text'>
There are five MIPS32/64 architecture releases currently available:
from 1 to 6 except fourth one, which was intentionally skipped.
Three of them can be called as major: 1st, 2nd and 6th, that not only
have some system level alterations, but also introduced significant
core/ISA level updates. The rest of the MIPS architecture releases are
minor.

Even though they don't have as much ISA/system/core level changes
as the major ones with respect to the previous releases, they still
provide a set of updates (I'd say they were intended to be the
intermediate releases before a major one) that might be useful for the
kernel and user-level code, when activated by the kernel or compiler.
In particular the following features were introduced or ended up being
available at/after MIPS32/64 Release 5 architecture:
+ the last release of the misaligned memory access instructions,
+ virtualisation - VZ ASE - is optional component of the arch,
+ SIMD - MSA ASE - is optional component of the arch,
+ DSP ASE is optional component of the arch,
+ CP0.Status.FR=1 for CP1.FIR.F64=1 (pure 64-bit FPU general registers)
  must be available if FPU is implemented,
+ CP1.FIR.Has2008 support is required so CP1.FCSR.{ABS2008,NAN2008} bits
  are available.
+ UFR/UNFR aliases to access CP0.Status.FR from user-space by means of
  ctc1/cfc1 instructions (enabled by CP0.Config5.UFR),
+ CP0.COnfig5.LLB=1 and eretnc instruction are implemented to without
  accidentally clearing LL-bit when returning from an interrupt,
  exception, or error trap,
+ XPA feature together with extended versions of CPx registers is
  introduced, which needs to have mfhc0/mthc0 instructions available.

So due to these changes GNU GCC provides an extended instructions set
support for MIPS32/64 Release 5 by default like eretnc/mfhc0/mthc0. Even
though the architecture alteration isn't that big, it still worth to be
taken into account by the kernel software. Finally we can't deny that
some optimization/limitations might be found in future and implemented
on some level in kernel or compiler. In this case having even
intermediate MIPS architecture releases support would be more than
useful.

So the most of the changes provided by this commit can be split into
either compile- or runtime configs related. The compile-time related
changes are caused by adding the new CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R5/CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR5
configs and concern the code activating MIPSR2 or MIPSR6 already
implemented features (like eretnc/LLbit, mthc0/mfhc0). In addition
CPU_HAS_MSA can be now freely enabled for MIPS32/64 release 5 based
platforms as this is done for CPU_MIPS32_R6 CPUs. The runtime changes
concerns the features which are handled with respect to the MIPS ISA
revision detected at run-time by means of CP0.Config.{AT,AR} bits. Alas
these fields can be used to detect either r1 or r2 or r6 releases.
But since we know which CPUs in fact support the R5 arch, we can manually
set MIPS_CPU_ISA_M32R5/MIPS_CPU_ISA_M64R5 bit of c-&gt;isa_level and then
use cpu_has_mips32r5/cpu_has_mips64r5 where it's appropriate.

Since XPA/EVA provide too complex alterationss and to have them used with
MIPS32 Release 2 charged kernels (for compatibility with current platform
configs) they are left to be setup as a separate kernel configs.

<title>sched/core: Provide a pointer to the valid CPU mask</title>

In commit:

  4b53a3412d66 ("sched/core: Remove the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper")

the tsk_nr_cpus_allowed() wrapper was removed. There was not
much difference in !RT but in RT we used this to implement
migrate_disable(). Within a migrate_disable() section the CPU mask is
restricted to single CPU while the "normal" CPU mask remains untouched.

As an alternative implementation Ingo suggested to use:

	struct task_struct {
		const cpumask_t		*cpus_ptr;
		cpumask_t		cpus_mask;
        };
with
	t-&gt;cpus_ptr = &amp;t-&gt;cpus_mask;

In -RT we then can switch the cpus_ptr to:

	t-&gt;cpus_ptr = &amp;cpumask_of(task_cpu(p));

in a migration disabled region. The rules are simple:

 - Code that 'uses' -&gt;cpus_allowed would use the pointer.
 - Code that 'modifies' -&gt;cpus_allowed would use the direct mask.

When CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT=n we don't support floating point, so we
don't need to worry about floating point exceptions pending in the
Floating point Control &amp; Status Register (FCSR) during switch_to(). Stub
out the __sanitize_fcr31() macro in this case.

Commit 7c151d3d5d7a ("MIPS: Make use of the ERETNC instruction on MIPS
R6") began clearing LLBit during context switches, but did so on all
systems where it is writable for unclear reasons &amp; did so from a macro
with "software_ll_bit" in its name, which is intended to operate on the
ll_bit variable used by ll/sc emulation for old CPUs.

We do now need to clear LLBit on MIPSr6 systems where we'll use eretnc
to return to userland, but we don't need to do so on MIPSr5 systems with
a writable LLBit.

Move the clear to its own appropriately named macro, do it only for
MIPSr6 systems &amp; comment about why.

<title>MIPS: Fix FCSR Cause bit handling for correct SIGFPE issue</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5a1aca4469fdccd5b74ba0b4e490173b2b447895</id>
<content type='text'>
Sanitize FCSR Cause bit handling, following a trail of past attempts:

* commit 4249548454f7 ("MIPS: ptrace: Fix FP context restoration FCSR
regression"),

* commit 443c44032a54 ("MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after
emulation"),

* commit 64bedffe4968 ("MIPS: Clear [MSA]FPE CSR.Cause after
notify_die()"),

* commit b1442d39fac2 ("MIPS: Prevent user from setting FCSR cause
bits"),

* commit b54d2901517d ("Properly handle branch delay slots in connection
with signals.").

Specifically do not mask these bits out in ptrace(2) processing and send
a SIGFPE signal instead whenever a matching pair of an FCSR Cause and
Enable bit is seen as execution of an affected context is about to
resume.  Only then clear Cause bits, and even then do not clear any bits
that are set but masked with the respective Enable bits.  Adjust Cause
bit clearing throughout code likewise, except within the FPU emulator
proper where they are set according to IEEE 754 exceptions raised as the
operation emulated executed.  Do so so that any IEEE 754 exceptions
subject to their default handling are recorded like with operations
executed by FPU hardware.

Commit f51246efee2b ("MIPS: Get rid of finish_arch_switch().") moved the
__restore_watch() call from finish_arch_switch() (i.e. after resume()
returns) to before the resume() call in switch_to(). This results in
watchpoints only being restored when a task is descheduled, preventing
the watchpoints from being effective most of the time, except due to
chance before the watchpoints are lazily removed.

Fix the call sequence from switch_to() through to
mips_install_watch_registers() to pass the task_struct pointer of the
next task, instead of using current. This allows the watchpoints for the
next (non-current) task to be restored without reintroducing
finish_arch_switch().

Rather than saving the scalar FP or vector context in the assembly
resume function, reuse the existing C code we have in fpu.h to do
exactly that. This reduces duplication, results in a much easier to read
resume function &amp; should allow the compiler to optimise out more MSA
code due to is_msa_enabled()/cpu_has_msa being known-zero at compile
time for kernels without MSA support.

MIPS was using finish_arch_switch() as a hook to restore and initialize
CPU context for all threads, even newly created kernel and user threads.
This is however entirely solvable within switch_to() so get rid of
finish_arch_switch() which is in the way of scheduler cleanups.
