      MIPS: MSA: Update helpers to use new asm macros · 93738d48
      James Hogan authored
      Update MSA control register access helpers to use the new helpers for
      parsing register names and creating custom assembly macro instructions.
      
      This allows the move via $at to be dropped (saving a total of about 20
      bytes of kernel code).
      
      Note, this does not alter the equivalent code in .S files, which still
      uses the $at trick.

      MIPS: XPA: Standardise readx/writex accessors · abbd52fd
      James Hogan authored
      Now that we are using assembler macros to implement XPA instructions on
      toolchains which don't support them, pass Cop0 register names to the
      __{readx,writex}_32bit_c0_register macros in $n format rather than
      register numbers. Also pass a register select which may be useful in
      future (for example for MemoryMapID field of WatchHi registers on
      I6500).
      
      This is to make them consistent with the normal Cop0 register access
      macros which they were originally based on.

      MIPS: XPA: Allow use of $0 (zero) to MTHC0 · 3478ba99
      James Hogan authored
      Tweak __writex_32bit_c0_register() to allow the compiler to use $0 (the
      zero register) as an input to the mthc0 instruction.

      MIPS: XPA: Use XPA instructions in assembly · 8e4789d2
      James Hogan authored
      Utilise XPA instructions MFHC0 & MTHC0 in inline assembly instead of
      directly encoding them with the _ASM_INSN* macros, and transparently
      implement these instructions as assembler macros if the toolchain
      doesn't support them natively, using the recently introduced assembler
      macro helpers.
      
      The old direct encodings were restricted to using the register $at, so
      this allows the extra register moves to go away (saving a grand total of
      24 bytes).

      MIPS: VZ: Update helpers to use new asm macros · 00b4eb40
      James Hogan authored
      Update VZ guest register & guest TLB access helpers to use the new
      assembly macros for parsing register names and creating custom assembly
      macro instructions, which has a number of advantages:
      
       - Better code can be generated on toolchains which don't support VZ,
         more closely matching those which do, since there is no need to
         bounce values via the $at register. Some differences still remain due
         to the inability to safely fill branch delay slots and R6 compact
         branch forbidden slots with explicitly encoded instructions,
         resulting in some extra NOPs added by the assembler.
      
       - Some code duplication between toolchains which do and don't support
         VZ instructions is removed, since the helpers are only implemented
         once. When the toolchain doesn't implement the instruction an
         assembly macro implements it instead.
      
       - Instruction encodings are kept together in the source.
      
      On a generic kernel with KVM VZ support enabled this change saves about
      2.5KiB of kernel code when TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_VIRT=n, bringing it down
      to about 0.5KiB more than when TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_VIRT=y on r6, and just
      68 bytes more on r2.

      MIPS: Add helpers for assembler macro instructions · fc62f53b
      James Hogan authored
      Implement a parse_r assembler macro in asm/mipsregs.h to parse a
      register in $n form, and a few C macros for defining assembler macro
      instructions. These can be used to more transparently support older
      binutils versions which don't support for example the msa, virt, xpa, or
      crc instructions.
      
      In particular they overcome the difficulty of turning a register name in
      $n form into an instruction encoding suitable for giving to .word /
      .hword, which is particularly problematic when needed from inline
      assembly where the compiler is responsible for register allocation.
      Traditionally this had required the use of $at and an extra MOV
      instruction, but for CRC instructions with multiple GP register operands
      that approach becomes more difficult.
      
      Three assembler macro creation helpers are added:
      
       - _ASM_MACRO_0(OP, ENC)
         This is to define an assembler macro for an instruction which has no
         operands, for example the VZ TLBGR instruction.
      
       - _ASM_MACRO_2R(OP, R1, R2, ENC)
         This is to define an assembler macro for an instruction which has 2
         register operands, for example the CFCMSA instruction.
      
       - _ASM_MACRO_3R(OP, R1, R2, R3, ENC)
         This is to define an assembler macro for an instruction which has 3
         register operands, for example the crc32 instructions.
      
       - _ASM_MACRO_2R_1S(OP, R1, R2, SEL3, ENC)
         This is to define an assembler macro for a Cop0 move instruction,
         with 2 register operands and an optional register select operand
         which defaults to 0, for example the VZ MFGC0 instruction.

      MIPS: ranchu: Add Ranchu as a new generic-based board · f2d0b0d5
      Miodrag Dinic authored
      Provide amendments to the MIPS generic platform framework so that
      the new generic-based board Ranchu can be chosen to be built.
      
      The Ranchu board is intended to be used by Android emulator. The name
      "Ranchu" originates from Android development community. "Goldfish" and
      "Ranchu" are terms used for two generations of virtual boards used by
      Android emulator. The name "Ranchu" is a newer one among the two, and
      this patch deals with Ranchu. However, for historical reasons, some
      devices/drivers still contain the name "Goldfish".
      
      MIPS Ranchu machine includes a number of Goldfish devices. The support
      for Virtio devices is also included. Ranchu board supports up to 16
      Virtio devices which can be attached using Virtio MMIO Bus. This is
      summarized in the following picture:
