Peter Zijlstra a8b0ca17b8 perf: Remove the nmi parameter from the swevent and overflow interface
The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.

For the various event classes:

  - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
    the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
  - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
  - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
    perform wakeups, and hence need 0.

As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).

The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.

David Daney 515b029d00 MIPS: Send proper signal and siginfo on FP emulator faults.
We were unconditionally sending SIGBUS with an empty siginfo on FP
emulator faults.  This differs from what happens when real floating
point hardware would get a fault.

For most faults we need to send SIGSEGV with the faulting address
filled in in the struct siginfo.

Shane McDonald 95e8f634d7 MIPS FPU emulator: allow Cause bits of FCSR to be writeable by ctc1
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.

David Daney b6ee75ed4f MIPS: Collect FPU emulator statistics per-CPU.
On SMP systems, the collection of statistics can cause cache line
bouncing in the lines associated with the counters.  Also there are
races incrementing the counters on multiple CPUs.

To fix both problems, we collect the statistics in per-CPU variables,
and add them up in the debugfs read operation.

As a test I ran the LTP float_bessel test on a 12 CPU Octeon system.

Without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS :             2602 seconds.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_FS:                 2640 seconds.
With non-cpu-local atomic statistics: 14569 seconds.

David Daney da0bac3341 MIPS: Fix emulation of 64-bit FPU on FPU-less 64-bit CPUs.
Running a 64-bit kernel on a 64-bit CPU without an FPU would cause the
emulator to run in 32-bit mode.  The c0_Status.FR bit is wired to zero
on systems without an FPU, so using that bit to decide how the emulator
behaves doesn't allow for proper emulation on 64-bit FPU-less
processors.

Instead, we need to select the emulator mode based on the user-space
ABI.  Since the thread flag TIF_32BIT_REGS is used to set c0_Status.FR,
we can just use it to decide if the emulator should be in 32-bit or
64-bit mode.

Ralf Baechle ba3049ed40 MIPS: Switch FPU emulator trap to BREAK instruction.
Arguably using the address error handler has always been ugly.  But with
processors that handle unaligned loads and stores in hardware the
current mechanism ceases to work so switch it to a BREAK instruction and
allocate break code 514 to the FPU emulator.
