Switching the vector context implicitly saves & restores the state of
the aliased scalar FP data registers, however the scalar FP control
& status register is distinct from the MSA control & status register.
In order to allow scalar FP to function correctly in programs using
MSA, the scalar CSR needs to be saved & restored along with the MSA
vector context.

Commit 351336929c ("[MIPS] Allow setting
of the cache attribute at run time") introduced the 'cca=' kernel
command-line parameter which allows overriding the kernel pages
cacheable attributes, document that parameter.
[ralf@linux-mips.org: replace @mips.com email addresses with it's imgtec.com
equivalent in this commit message. Rephrase slightly for a bit more
pedantic correctness.]

The GICBIS macro could update the GIC registers incorrectly, depending
on the data value passed in:
* Bits were only OR'd into the register data, so register fields could
not be cleared.
* Bits were OR'd into the register data without masking the data to the
correct field width, corrupting adjacent bits.

Move most of the functionality of gic_get_int() into a new function
gic_get_int_mask() which takes a bitmask of interrupts in which the
caller is interested, and returns the subset which are pending for the
current CPU.
This allows CP0 IRQ dispatch routines to check only the GIC interrupts
which are routed to a particular CPU interrupt input.
gic_get_int() is reimplemented using gic_get_int_mask() and is retained
for use by any platforms for which gic_get_int() is sufficient.

irq-gic.c:gic_get_int() masks out interrupts from the pending set which
aren’t in the pcpu_mask. Only interrupts marked with GIC_FLAG_IPI were
set in pcpu_mask, meaning that peripheral interrupts also had to be
marked as IPIs. Remove the use of GIC_FLAG_IPI and allow the flags
member of struct gic_intr_map to be zero.

Detect if the core supports unique exception codes for the
Read-Inhibit and Execute-Inhibit exceptions and set the
option accordingly. The RI/XI exception support is detected
by setting the 27th bit (IEC) of the PageGrain C0 register
and reading back the value of that register to verify the
bit is enabled.

The Hardware Page Table Walker aims to speed up TLB refill exceptions
by handling them in the hardware level instead of having a software
TLB refill handler. However, a TLB refill exception can still be
thrown in certain cases such as, synchronus exceptions, or address
translation or memory errors during the HTW operation. As a result of
which, HTW must not be considered a complete replacement for the TLB
refill software handler, but rather a fast-path for it.
For HTW to work, the PWBase register must contain the task's page
global directory address so the HTW will kick in on TLB refill
exceptions.
Due to HTW being a separate engine embedded deep in the CPU pipeline,
we need to restart the HTW everytime a PTE changes to avoid HTW
fetching a old entry from the page tables. It's also necessary to
restart the HTW on context switches to prevent it from fetching a
page from the previous process. Finally, since HTW is using the
entryhi register to write the translations to the TLB, it's necessary
to stop the HTW whenever the entryhi changes (eg for tlb probe
perations) and enable it back afterwards.
== Performance ==
The following trivial test was used to measure the performance of the
HTW. Using the same root filesystem, the following command was used
to measure the number of tlb refill handler executions with and
without (using 'nohtw' kernel parameter) HTW support. The kernel was
modified to use a scratch register as a counter for the TLB refill
exceptions.
find /usr -type f -exec ls -lh {} \;
HTW Enabled:
TLB refill exceptions: 12306
HTW Disabled:
TLB refill exceptions: 17805
