This patch refactors MIPS branch emulation code so as to allow skipping
delay slot instruction in case of branch likely instructions when branch is
not taken. This is useful for keeping the code common for use cases like
kprobes where one would like to handle the branch instructions keeping the
delay slot instuction also in picture for branch likely instructions. Also
allow emulation when instruction to be decoded is not at pt_regs->cp0_epc
as in case of kprobes where pt_regs->cp0_epc points to the breakpoint
instruction.
The patch also exports the function for modules.

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.

GCC-4.6 can find more unused code than previous versions could.
In the case of arch/mips/math-emu/ieee754int.h, the COMPXSP and
COMPXDP macros are used in several places, but a couple of them leave
xs unused. The easiest thing to do is mark it as __maybe_unused to
quiet the warning.

Adding subdirs-ccflags-y := -Werror to arch/mips/Kbuild
let us in one go cover all files with -Werror.
In addition this allows us to remove the
individual -Werror definition in various Makefile.
Adding the definition to Kbuild as a recursive
option help us not to forget to do so.
With this change we now compile arch/mips/kernel/cpufreq with -Werror
One drawback:
When specifying a subdirectory covered by the Kbuild file like this:
make arch/mips/kernel/
then kbuild fails to pick up the -Werror definition.

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.

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.

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.
