When a breakpoint or trap happens when operating in kernel mode but
on users behalf (eg syscall) it is necessary to change the address
limit to KERNEL_DS so any address checking can be bypassed and print
the correct stack trace.

EVA uses specific instructions for accessing user memory.
Instead of polluting the kernel with numerous #ifdef CONFIG_EVA
we add wrappers for all the instructions that need special
handling when EVA is enabled.

EVA can use the PREFE instruction to perform the virtual address
translation using the user mapping of the address rather than the
kernel mapping.

This patch extends sigcontext in order to hold the most significant 64
bits of each vector register in addition to the MSA control & status
register. The least significant 64 bits are already saved as the scalar
FP context. This makes things a little awkward since the least & most
significant 64 bits of each vector register are not contiguous in
memory. Thus the copy_u & insert instructions are used to transfer the
values of the most significant 64 bits via GP registers.

No current systems implementing MSA include support for vector register
partitioning which makes it somewhat difficult to implement support for
it in the kernel. Thus for the moment the kernel includes no such
support. However if the kernel were to be run on a system which
implemented register partitioning then it would not function correctly,
mishandling MSA disabled exceptions. Print a warning if run on a system
with vector register partitioning implemented to indicate this problem
should it occur.

This patch adds a simple handler for MSA FP exceptions which delivers a
SIGFPE to the running task. In the future it should probably be extended
to re-execute the instruction with the MSACSR.NX bit set in order to
generate results for any elements which did not cause an exception
before delivering the SIGFPE signal.

This patch adds support for context switching the MSA vector registers.
These 128 bit vector registers are aliased with the FP registers - an
FP register accesses the least significant bits of the vector register
with which it is aliased (ie. the register with the same index). Due to
both this & the requirement that the scalar FPU must be 64-bit (FR=1) if
enabled at the same time as MSA the kernel will enable MSA & scalar FP
at the same time for tasks which use MSA. If we restore the MSA vector
context then we might as well enable the scalar FPU since the reason it
was left disabled was to allow for lazy FP context restoring - but we
just restored the FP context as it's a subset of the vector context. If
we restore the FP context and have previously used MSA then we have to
restore the whole vector context anyway (see comment in
enable_restore_fp_context for details) so similarly we might as well
enable MSA.
Thus if a task does not use MSA then it will continue to behave as
without this patch - the scalar FP context will be saved & restored as
usual. But if a task executes an MSA instruction then it will save &
restore the vector context forever more.

This patch adds support for probing the MSAP bit within the Config3
register in order to detect the presence of the MSA ASE. Presence of the
ASE will be indicated in /proc/cpuinfo. The value of the MSA
implementation register will be displayed at boot to aid debugging and
verification of a correct setup, as is done for the FPU.

This patch introduces definitions for the MSA control registers and
functions which allow access to both the control & vector registers. If
the toolchain being used to build the kernel includes support for MSA
then this patch will make use of that support & use MSA instructions
directly. However toolchain support for MSA is very new & far from a
point where it can be reasonably expected that everyone building the
kernel uses a toolchain with support. Thus fallbacks using .word
assembler directives are also provided for now as a temporary measure.

When saving or restoring scalar FP context we want to access the least
significant 64 bits of each FP register. When the FP registers are 64
bits wide that is trivially the start of the registers value in memory.
However when the FP registers are wider this equivalence will no longer
be true for big endian systems. Define a new set of offset macros for
the least significant 64 bits of each saved FP register within thread
context, and make use of them when saving and restoring scalar FP
context.

When we want to access 64-bit FP register values we can only treat
consecutive registers as being consecutive in memory when the width of
an FP register equals 64 bits. This assumption will not remain true once
MSA support is introduced, so provide a code path which copies each 64
bit FP register value in turn when the width of an FP register differs
from 64 bits.

This code assumed that saved FP registers are 64 bits wide, an
assumption which will no longer be true once MSA is introduced. This
patch modifies the code to copy the lower 64 bits of each register in
turn, which is safe for any FP register width >= 64 bits.

The upper bits of an FP register are architecturally defined as
unpredictable following an instructions which only writes the lower
bits. The prior behaviour of the kernel is to leave them unmodified.
This patch modifies that to clear the upper bits to zero. This is what
the MSA architecture reference manual specifies should happen for its
wider registers and is still permissible for scalar FP instructions
given the bits unpredictability there.
