2015-04-08MIPS: Set `si_code' for SIGFPE signals sent from emulation tooMaciej W. Rozycki
Rework `process_fpemu_return' and move IEEE 754 exception interpretation there, from `do_fpe'. Record the cause bits set in FCSR before they are cleared and pass them through to `process_fpemu_return' so as to set `si_code' correctly too for SIGFPE signals sent from emulation rather than those issued by hardware with the FPE processor exception only. For simplicity `mipsr2_decoder' assumes `*fcr31' has been preinitialised and only sets it to anything if an FPU instruction has been emulated, which in turn is the only case SIGFPE can be issued for here.

2015-04-08MIPS: Always clear FCSR cause bits after emulationMaciej W. Rozycki
Clear any FCSR cause bits recorded in the saved FPU context after emulation in all cases rather than in `do_fpe' only, so that any unmasked IEEE 754 exception left from emulation does not cause a fatal kernel-mode FPE hardware exception with the CTC1 instruction used by the kernel to subsequently restore FCSR hardware from the saved FPU context.

2015-04-08MIPS: Correct the comment for and reformat `movf_func'Maciej W. Rozycki
Correct a copy-and-paste issue with the description for `movf_func' referring to `movt_func'. Reformat the former function to match the latter. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

2015-02-17MIPS: kernel: mips-r2-to-r6-emul: Add R2 emulator for MIPS R6Leonid Yegoshin
MIPS R6 removed quite a few R2 instructions. However, there is plenty of <R6 userland code so we add an in-kernel emulator so we can still be able to execute all R2 userland out there. The emulator comes with a handy debugfs under /mips/ directory (r2-emul-stats) to provide some basic statistics of the instructions that are being emulated. Below are some statistics from booting a minimal buildroot image: Instruction Total BDslot ------------------------------ movs 236969 0 hilo 56686 0 muls 55279 0 divs 10941 0 dsps 0 0 bops 1 0 traps 0 0 fpus 0 0 loads 214981 17 stores 103364 0 llsc 56898 0 dsemul 150418 0 jr 370158 bltzl 43 bgezl 1594 bltzll 0 bgezll 0 bltzal 39 bgezal 39 beql 14503 bnel 138741 blezl 0 bgtzl 3988 Signed-off-by: Leonid Yegoshin <Leonid.Yegoshin@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@imgtec.com>
