MIPS: Save MSA extended context around signals

It is desirable for signal handlers to be allowed to make use of MSA,
particularly if auto vectorisation is used when compiling a program.
The MSA context must therefore be saved & restored before & after
invoking the signal handler. Make use of the extended context structs
defined in the preceding patch to save MSA context after the sigframe
when appropriate.

MIPS: Add definitions for extended context

The context introduced by MSA needs to be saved around signals. However,
we can't increase the size of struct sigcontext because that will change
the offset of the signal mask in struct sigframe or struct ucontext.
This patch instead places the new context immediately after the struct
sigframe for traditional signals, or similarly after struct ucontext for
RT signals. The layout of struct sigframe & struct ucontext is identical
from their sigcontext fields onwards, so the offset from the sigcontext
to the extended context will always be the same regardless of the type
of signal.

Userland will be able to search through the extended context by using
the magic values to detect which types of context are present. Any
unrecognised context can be skipped over using the size field of struct
extcontext. Once the magic value END_EXTCONTEXT_MAGIC is seen it is
known that there are no further extended context structures to examine.

This approach is somewhat similar to that taken by ARM to save VFP &
other context at the end of struct ucontext.

Userland can determine whether extended context is present by checking
for the USED_EXTCONTEXT bit in the sc_used_math field of struct
sigcontext. Whilst this could potentially change the historic semantics
of sc_used_math if further extended context which does not imply FP
context were to be introduced in the future, I have been unable to find
any userland code making use of sc_used_math at all. Using one of the
fields described as unused in struct sigcontext was considered, but the
kernel does not already write to those fields so there would be no
guarantee of the field being clear on older kernels. Other alternatives
would be to have userland check the kernel version, or to have a HWCAP
bit indicating presence of extended context. However there is a desire
to have the context & information required to decode it be self
contained such that, for example, debuggers could decode the saved
context easily.

MIPS: Indicate FP mode in sigcontext sc_used_math

The sc_used_math field of struct sigcontext & its variants has
traditionally been used as a boolean value indicating only whether or
not floating point context is saved within the sigcontext. With various
supported FP modes & the ability to switch between them this information
will no longer be enough to decode the meaning of the data stored in the
sc_fpregs fields of struct sigcontext.

To make that possible 3 bits are defined within sc_used_math:

- Bit 0 (USED_FP) represents whether FP was used, essentially
providing the boolean flag which sc_used_math as a whole provided
previously.

- Bit 1 (USED_FR1) provides the value of the Status.FR bit at the time
the FP context was saved.

- Bit 2 (USED_HYBRID_FPRS) indicates whether the FP context was saved
under the hybrid FPR scheme. Essentially, when set the odd singles
are located in bits 63:32 of the preceding even indexed sc_fpregs
element.

Any userland that tests whether the sc_used_math field is zero or
non-zero will continue to function as expected. Having said that, I
could not find any userland which uses the sc_used_math field at all.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

- The kernel is configured for EVA, since ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel:

This would lead to FP context being clobbered incorrectly when setting
up a sigcontext, then the garbage values being saved uselessly when
returning from the signal.

Revert "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around signals"

This reverts commit eec43a224cf1 "MIPS: Save/restore MSA context around
signals" and the MSA parts of ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel: signal:
Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory" (the restore path of
which appears incorrect anyway...).

The reverted patch took care not to break compatibility with userland
users of struct sigcontext, but inadvertantly changed the offset of the
uc_sigmask field of struct ucontext. Thus Linux v3.15 breaks the
userland ABI. The MSA context will need to be saved via some other
opt-in mechanism, but for now revert the change to reduce the fallout.

This will have minimal impact upon use of MSA since the only supported
CPU which includes it (the P5600) is 32-bit and therefore requires that
the experimental CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option be selected
before the kernel will set FR=1 for a task, a requirement for MSA use.
Thus the users of MSA are limited to known small groups of people & this
patch won't be breaking any previously working MSA-using userland
outside of experimental settings.

MIPS: Don't require FPU on sigcontext setup/restore

When a task which has used the FPU at some point in its past takes a
signal the kernel would previously always require the task to take
ownership of the FPU whilst setting up or restoring from the sigcontext.
That means that if the task has not used the FPU within this timeslice
then the kernel would enable the FPU, restore the task's FP context into
FPU registers and then save them into the sigcontext. This seems
inefficient, and if the signal handler doesn't use FP then enabling the
FPU & the extra memory accesses are entirely wasted work.

This patch modifies the sigcontext setup & restore code to copy directly
between the tasks saved FP context & the sigcontext for any tasks which
have used FP in the past but are not currently the FPU owner (ie. have
not used FP in this timeslice).

MIPS: Support for 64-bit FP with O32 binaries

CPUs implementing MIPS32 R2 may include a 64-bit FPU, just as MIPS64 CPUs
do. In order to preserve backwards compatibility a 64-bit FPU will act
like a 32-bit FPU (by accessing doubles from the least significant 32
bits of an even-odd pair of FP registers) when the Status.FR bit is
zero, again just like a mips64 CPU. The standard O32 ABI is defined
expecting a 32-bit FPU, however recent toolchains support use of a
64-bit FPU from an O32 MIPS32 executable. When an ELF executable is
built to use a 64-bit FPU a new flag (EF_MIPS_FP64) is set in the ELF
header.

With this patch the kernel will check the EF_MIPS_FP64 flag when
executing an O32 binary, and set Status.FR accordingly. The addition
of O32 64-bit FP support lessens the opportunity for optimisation in
the FPU emulator, so a CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT Kconfig option is
introduced to allow this support to be disabled for those that don't
require it.

Inspired by an earlier patch by Leonid Yegoshin, but implemented more
cleanly & correctly.
