floating-point configurations.

Commit a68d09a156b2 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit kernels on
64-bit CPUs") prevented use of RIXI on MIPS64 systems, stating that the
"TLB handlers cannot handle this case". What they actually couldn't
handle was cases where there were less fill bits in the Entry{Lo,Hi}
registers than bits used by software in PTEs. The handlers can now deal
with this case, so enable RIXI for MIPS32 kernels on MIPS64 systems.
Note that beyond the obvious benefits provided by having RIXI on such
systems, this is required for systems implementing MIPSr6 where RIXI
cannot be disabled.
This reverts commit a68d09a156b2 ("MIPS: Don't use RI/XI with 32-bit
kernels on 64-bit CPUs").

Add cpu_has_ftlb, which specifies that an FTLB is present in addition to
the VTLB, probed based on whether Config.MT == 4 (rather than 1 for
standard JTLB).
This is necessary since MIPS release 6 removes Config4.MMUExtDef, so the
presence of the FTLB fields in Config4 must be determined from Config.MT
instead.

The R12000 added a new feature to enhance branch prediction called
"global history". Per the Vr10000 Series User Manual (U10278EJ4V0UM),
Coprocessor 0, Diagnostic Register (22):
"""
If bit 26 is set, branch prediction uses all eight bits of the global
history register. If bit 26 is not set, then bits 25:23 specify a count
of the number of bits of global history to be used. Thus if bits 26:23
are all zero, global history is disabled.
The global history contains a record of the taken/not-taken status of
recently executed branches, and when used is XOR'ed with the PC of a
branch being predicted to produce a hashed value for indexing the BPT.
Some programs with small "working set of conditional branches" benefit
significantly from the use of such hashing, some see slight performance
degradation.
"""
This patch enables global history on R12000 CPUs and up by setting bit
26 in the branch prediction diagnostic register (CP0 $22) to '1'. Bits
25:23 are left alone so that all eight bits of the global history
register are available for branch prediction.

Add architectural definitions and probing for the MIPS Common Device
Memory Map (CDMM) region. When supported and enabled at a particular
physical address, this region allows some number of per-CPU devices to
be discovered and controlled via MMIO.
A bit exists in Config3 to determine whether the feature is present, and
a CDMMBase CP0 register allows the region to be enabled at a particular
physical address.

The LLBIT (bit 4) in the Config5 CP0 register indicates the software
availability of the Load-Linked bit. This bit is only set by hardware
and it has the following meaning:
0: LLB functionality is not supported
1: LLB functionality is supported. The following feature are also
supported:
- ERETNC instruction. Similar to ERET but it does not clear the LLB
bit in the LLAddr register.
- CP0 LLAddr/LLB bit must be set
- LLbit is software accessible through the LLAddr[0]
This will be used later on to emulate R2 LL/SC instructions.

MIPS I is the ancestor of all MIPS ISA and architecture variants. Anything
ever build in the MIPS empire is either MIPS I or at least contains MIPS I.
If it's running Linux, that is.
So there is little point in having cpu_has_mips_1 because it will always
evaluate as true - though usually only at runtime. Thus there is no
point in having the MIPS_CPU_ISA_I ISA flag, so get rid of it.
Little complication: traps.c was using a test for a pure MIPS I ISA as
a test for an R3000-style cp0. To deal with that, use a check for
cpu_has_3kex or cpu_has_4kex instead.
cpu_has_3kex is a new macro. At the moment its default implementation is
!cpu_has_4kex but this may eventually change if Linux is ever going to
support the oddball MIPS processors R6000 and R8000 so users of either
of these macros should not make any assumptions.

This and the next patch resolve memory corruption problems while CPU
hotplug. Without these patches, memory corruption can triggered easily
as below:
On a quad-core MIPS platform, use "spawn" of UnixBench-5.1.3 (http://
code.google.com/p/byte-unixbench/) and a CPU hotplug script like this
(hotplug.sh):
while true; do
echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 0 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
sleep 1
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online
echo 1 >/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
sleep 1
done
Run "hotplug.sh" and then run "spawn 10000", spawn will get segfault
after a few minutes.
This patch:
Currently, clear_page()/copy_page() are generated by Micro-assembler
dynamically. But they are unavailable until uasm_resolve_relocs() has
finished because jump labels are illegal before that. Since these
functions are shared by every CPU, we only call build_clear_page()/
build_copy_page() only once at boot time. Without this patch, programs
will get random memory corruption (segmentation fault, bus error, etc.)
while CPU Hotplug (e.g. one CPU is using clear_page() while another is
generating it in cpu_cache_init()).
For similar reasons we modify build_tlb_refill_handler()'s invocation.
V2:
1, Rework the code to make CPU#0 can be online/offline.
2, Introduce cpu_has_local_ebase feature since some types of MIPS CPU
need a per-CPU tlb_refill_handler().

by the execution environment to 32-bit - but the kernel could run mips64r2

The SmartMIPS ASE specifies how Read Inhibit (RI) and eXecute Inhibit
(XI) bits in the page tables work. The upper two bits of EntryLo{0,1}
are RI and XI when the feature is enabled in the PageGrain register.
SmartMIPS only covers 32-bit systems. Cavium Octeon+ extends this to
64-bit systems by continuing to place the RI and XI bits in the top of
EntryLo even when EntryLo is 64-bits wide.
Because we need to carry the RI and XI bits in the PTE, the layout of
the PTE is changed. There is a two instruction overhead in the TLB
refill hot path to get the EntryLo bits into the proper position.
Also the TLB load exception has to probe the TLB to check if RI or XI
caused the exception.
Also of note is that the layout of the PTE bits is done at compile and
runtime rather than statically. In the 32-bit case this allows for
the same number of PFN bits as before the patch as the _PAGE_HUGE is
not supported in 32-bit kernels (we have _PAGE_NO_EXEC and
_PAGE_NO_READ instead of _PAGE_READ and _PAGE_HUGE).
The patch is tested on Cavium Octeon+, but should also work on 32-bit
systems with the Smart-MIPS ASE.

Linux kernel 2.6.32 and later allocate address space from the top of the
kernel virtual memory address space.
This patch implements virtual memory size detection for 64 bit MIPS CPUs
to avoid resulting crashes.

On some CPUs, it is more efficient to disable and enable interrupts in the
kernel rather than use ll/sc for atomic operations. But if we were to set
cpu_has_llsc to false, we would break the userspace futex interface (in
asm/futex.h).
We separate the two concepts, with a new predicate kernel_uses_llsc, that
lets us disable the kernel's use of ll/sc while still allowing the futex
code to use it.
Also there were a couple of cases in bitops.h where we were using ll/sc
unconditionally even if cpu_has_llsc were false.

Some CPUs have implementation dependent rdhwr registers. Allow them
to be enabled on a per CPU basis.

Some CPUs do not need ehb instructions after writing CP0 registers.
By allowing ehb generation to be overridden in
cpu-feature-overrides.h, we can save a few instructions in the TLB
handler hot paths.

This is useful for IDT RC32332, RC32334 and NEC VR5500 processors which do
not implement the full MIPS32 / MIPS64 architecture.
