[ Upstream commit db8466c581cca1a08b505f1319c3ecd246f16fa8 ]

When the separate IRQ stack was introduced, stack unwinding only
proceeded as far as the top of the IRQ stack, leading to kernel
backtraces being less useful, lacking the trace of what was interrupted.

Fix this by providing a means for the kernel to unwind the IRQ stack
onto the interrupted task stack. The processor state is saved to the
kernel task stack on interrupt. The IRQ_STACK_START macro reserves an
unsigned long at the top of the IRQ stack where the interrupted task
stack pointer can be saved. After the active stack is switched to the
IRQ stack, save the interrupted tasks stack pointer to the reserved
location.

Fix the stack unwinding code to look for the frame being the top of the
IRQ stack and if so get the next frame from the saved location. The
existing test does not work with the separate stack since the ra is no
longer pointed at ret_from_{irq,exception}.

The test to stop unwinding the stack 32 bytes from the top of a stack
must be modified to allow unwinding to continue up to the location of
the saved task stack pointer when on the IRQ stack. The low / high marks
of the stack are set depending on whether the sp is on an irq stack or
not.

commit fe8bd18ffea5327344d4ec2bf11f47951212abd0 upstream.

Allocate a per-cpu irq stack for use within interrupt handlers.

Also add a utility function on_irq_stack to determine if a given stack
pointer is within the irq stack for that cpu.

<title>MIPS: KVM: Add base guest MSA support</title>

<id>539cb89fbdfe082d00be6f83d0f2140b7802151c</id>
<content type='text'>
Add base code for supporting the MIPS SIMD Architecture (MSA) in MIPS
KVM guests. MSA cannot yet be enabled in the guest, we're just laying
the groundwork.

As with the FPU, whether the guest's MSA context is loaded is stored in
another bit in the fpu_inuse vcpu member. This allows MSA to be disabled
when the guest disables it, but keeping the MSA context loaded so it
doesn't have to be reloaded if the guest re-enables it.

New assembly code is added for saving and restoring the MSA context,
restoring only the upper half of the MSA context (for if the FPU context
is already loaded) and for saving/clearing and restoring MSACSR (which
can itself cause an MSA FP exception depending on the value). The MSACSR
is restored before returning to the guest if MSA is already enabled, and
the existing FP exception die notifier is extended to catch the possible
MSA FP exception and step over the ctcmsa instruction.

The helper function kvm_own_msa() is added to enable MSA and restore
the MSA context if it isn't already loaded, which will be used in a
later patch when the guest attempts to use MSA for the first time and
triggers an MSA disabled exception.

The existing FPU helpers are extended to handle MSA. kvm_lose_fpu()
saves the full MSA context if it is loaded (which includes the FPU
context) and both kvm_lose_fpu() and kvm_drop_fpu() disable MSA.

kvm_own_fpu() also needs to lose any MSA context if FR=0, since there
would be a risk of getting reserved instruction exceptions if CU1 is
enabled and we later try and save the MSA context. We shouldn't usually
hit this case since it will be handled when emulating CU1 changes,
however there's nothing to stop the guest modifying the Status register
directly via the comm page, which will cause this case to get hit.

Whether the guest's FPU context is loaded is stored in a bit in the
fpu_inuse vcpu member. This allows the FPU to be disabled when the guest
disables it, but keeping the FPU context loaded so it doesn't have to be
reloaded if the guest re-enables it.

An fpu_enabled vcpu member stores whether userland has enabled the FPU
capability (which will be wired up in a later patch).

New assembly code is added for saving and restoring the FPU context, and
for saving/clearing and restoring FCSR (which can itself cause an FP
exception depending on the value). The FCSR is restored before returning
to the guest if the FPU is already enabled, and a die notifier is
registered to catch the possible FP exception and step over the ctc1
instruction.

The helper function kvm_lose_fpu() is added to save FPU context and
disable the FPU, which is used when saving hardware state before a
context switch or KVM exit (the vcpu_get_regs() callback).

The helper function kvm_own_fpu() is added to enable the FPU and restore
the FPU context if it isn't already loaded, which will be used in a
later patch when the guest attempts to use the FPU for the first time
and triggers a co-processor unusable exception.

The helper function kvm_drop_fpu() is added to discard the FPU context
and disable the FPU, which will be used in a later patch when the FPU
state will become architecturally UNPREDICTABLE (change of FR mode) to
force a reload of [stale] context in the new FR mode.

Add base code for supporting FPU in MIPS KVM guests. The FPU cannot yet
be enabled in the guest, we're just laying the groundwork.

Whether the guest's FPU context is loaded is stored in a bit in the
fpu_inuse vcpu member. This allows the FPU to be disabled when the guest
disables it, but keeping the FPU context loaded so it doesn't have to be
reloaded if the guest re-enables it.

<title>Revert "MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for context switch"</title>

This reverts commit 02987633df7ba2f62967791dda816eb191d1add3.

The basic premise of the patch was incorrect since MSA context
(including FP state) is saved using st.d which stores two consecutive
64-bit words in memory rather than a single 128-bit word. This means
that even with big endian MSA, the FP state is still in the first 64-bit
word.
