      MIPS: Support for hybrid FPRs · 4227a2d4
      Paul Burton 提交于
      Hybrid FPRs is a scheme where scalar FP registers are 64b wide, but
      accesses to odd indexed single registers use bits 63:32 of the
      preceeding even indexed 64b register. In this mode all FP code
      except that built for the plain FP64 ABI can execute correctly. Most
      notably a combination of FP64A & FP32 code can execute correctly,
      allowing for existing FP32 binaries to be linked with new FP64A binaries
      that can make use of 64 bit FP & MSA.
      
      Hybrid FPRs are implemented by setting both the FR & FRE bits, trapping
      & emulating single precision FP instructions (via Reserved Instruction
      exceptions) whilst allowing others to execute natively. It therefore has
      a penalty in terms of execution speed, and should only be used when no
      fully native mode can be. As more binaries are recompiled to use either
      the FPXX or FP64(A) ABIs, the need for hybrid FPRs should diminish.
      However in the short to mid term it allows for a gradual transition
      towards that world, rather than a complete ABI break which is not
      feasible for some users & not desirable for many.
      
      A task will be executed using the hybrid FPR scheme when its
      TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS flag is set & TIF_32BIT_FPREGS is clear. A further
      patch will set the flags as necessary, this patch simply adds the
      infrastructure necessary for the hybrid FPR mode to work.

      MIPS: Fix build with binutils 2.24.51+ · 842dfc11
      Manuel Lauss 提交于
      Starting with version 2.24.51.20140728 MIPS binutils complain loudly
      about mixing soft-float and hard-float object files, leading to this
      build failure since GCC is invoked with "-msoft-float" on MIPS:
      
      {standard input}: Warning: .gnu_attribute 4,3 requires `softfloat'
        LD      arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
      mipsel-softfloat-linux-gnu-ld: Warning: arch/mips/alchemy/common/built-in.o
       uses -msoft-float (set by arch/mips/alchemy/common/prom.o),
       arch/mips/alchemy/common/sleeper.o uses -mhard-float
      
      To fix this, we detect if GAS is new enough to support "-msoft-float" command
      option, and if it does, we can let GCC pass it to GAS;  but then we also need
      to sprinkle the files which make use of floating point registers with the
      necessary ".set hardfloat" directives.
