Handle the EF_MIPS_NAN2008 ELF file header flag and refuse execution where there is no support in the FPU for the NaN encoding mode requested by a binary invoked. Ensure that the setting of the bit in the binary matches one in any intepreter used. Set the thread's initial FCSR contents according to the value of the EF_MIPS_NAN2008. Set the values of the FCSR ABS2008 and NAN2008 bits both to the same value if possible, to take the approach taken with existing FPU hardware into account. As of now all implementations have both bits hardwired to the same value, that is both are fixed at 0 or both are fixed at 1, even though the architecture allows for implementations where the amount of control implemented with each of these two individual bits is independent of each other.

Commit 46490b57 ("MIPS: kernel: elf: Improve the overall ABI and FPU mode checks") reworked the ELF FP ABI mode selection logic, but when CONFIG_MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT is enabled it breaks the use of binaries which have no PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header & associated .MIPS.abiflags section. A default mode is selected based upon whether the ELF contains MIPS32 or MIPS64 code, but that selection is made in arch_elf_pt_proc. arch_elf_pt_proc only executes when a PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header is found. If one is not found then arch_elf_pt_proc is never called, and no default overall_fp_mode value is selected. When arch_check_elf is called, both abi0 & abi1 are MIPS_ABI_FP_UNKNOWN which leads to both prog_req & interp_req being set to none_req. none_req matches none of the conditions for mode selection at the end of arch_check_elf, so overall_fp_mode is left untouched. Finally once mips_set_personality_fp is called the BUG() in the default case is then hit & the kernel likely panics. Fix this by moving the selection of a default overall mode to the start of arch_check_elf, which runs once per ELF executed regardless of whether it has a PT_MIPS_ABIFLAGS program header.

The previous implementation did not cover all possible FPU combinations and it silently allowed ABI incompatible objects to be loaded with the wrong ABI. For example, the previous logic would set the FP_64 ABI as the matching ABI for an FP_XX object combined with an FP_64A object. This was wrong, and the matching ABI should have been FP_64A. The previous logic is now replaced with a new one which determines the appropriate FPU mode to be used rather than the FP ABI. This has the advantage that the entire logic is much simpler since it is the FPU mode we are interested in rather than the FP ABI resulting to code simplifications. This also removes the now obsolete FP32XX_HYBRID_FPRS option. Cc: Matthew Fortune <Matthew.Fortune@imgtec.com> Cc: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by:

Commit 90cee759 ("MIPS: ELF: Set FP mode according to .MIPS.abiflags") introduced checking of the .MIPS.abiflags ELF section but did so through the native sized "elfhdr" and "elf_phdr" structures regardless whether the ELF was actually 32-bit or 64-bit. This produces wrong results when trying to use a 64-bit kernel to load o32 ELF files. Change the uses of the generic elf structures to their 32-bit versions. Since the code bails out on any 64-bit cases, this is OK until they are implemented. Fixes: 90cee759 ("MIPS: ELF: Set FP mode according to .MIPS.abiflags") Signed-off-by:

The hybrid FPR scheme exists to allow for compatibility between existing FP32 code and newly compiled FP64A code. Such code should hopefully be rare in the real world, and for the moment is difficult to come across. All code except that built for the FP64 ABI can correctly execute using the hybrid FPR scheme, so debugging the hybrid FPR implementation can be eased by forcing all such code to use it. This is undesirable in general due to the trap & emulate overhead of the hybrid FPR implementation, but is a very useful option to have for debugging. Signed-off-by:

This patch reads the .MIPS.abiflags section when it is present, and sets the FP mode of the task accordingly. Any loaded ELF files which do not contain a .MIPS.abiflags section will continue to observe the previous behaviour, that is FR=1 if EF_MIPS_FP64 is set else FR=0. Signed-off-by:
