This patch modifies SoftFloat library so that it can be configured in
run-time in relation to the meaning of signaling NaN bit, while, at the
same time, strictly preserving its behavior on all existing platforms.
Background:
In floating-point calculations, there is a need for denoting undefined or
unrepresentable values. This is achieved by defining certain floating-point
numerical values to be NaNs (which stands for "not a number"). For additional
reasons, virtually all modern floating-point unit implementations use two
kinds of NaNs: quiet and signaling. The binary representations of these two
kinds of NaNs, as a rule, differ only in one bit (that bit is, traditionally,
the first bit of mantissa).
Up to 2008, standards for floating-point did not specify all details about
binary representation of NaNs. More specifically, the meaning of the bit
that is used for distinguishing between signaling and quiet NaNs was not
strictly prescribed. (IEEE 754-2008 was the first floating-point standard
that defined that meaning clearly, see [1], p. 35) As a result, different
platforms took different approaches, and that presented considerable
challenge for multi-platform emulators like QEMU.
Mips platform represents the most complex case among QEMU-supported
platforms regarding signaling NaN bit. Up to the Release 6 of Mips
architecture, "1" in signaling NaN bit denoted signaling NaN, which is
opposite to IEEE 754-2008 standard. From Release 6 on, Mips architecture
adopted IEEE standard prescription, and "0" denotes signaling NaN. On top of
that, Mips architecture for SIMD (also known as MSA, or vector instructions)
also specifies signaling bit in accordance to IEEE standard. MSA unit can be
implemented with both pre-Release 6 and Release 6 main processor units.
QEMU uses SoftFloat library to implement various floating-point-related
instructions on all platforms. The current QEMU implementation allows for
defining meaning of signaling NaN bit during build time, and is implemented
via preprocessor macro called SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE.
On the other hand, the change in this patch enables SoftFloat library to be
configured in run-time. This configuration is meant to occur during CPU
initialization, at the moment when it is definitely known what desired
behavior for particular CPU (or any additional FPUs) is.
The change is implemented so that it is consistent with existing
implementation of similar cases. This means that structure float_status is
used for passing the information about desired signaling NaN bit on each
invocation of SoftFloat functions. The additional field in float_status is
called snan_bit_is_one, which supersedes macro SNAN_BIT_IS_ONE.
IMPORTANT:
This change is not meant to create any change in emulator behavior or
functionality on any platform. It just provides the means for SoftFloat
library to be used in a more flexible way - in other words, it will just
prepare SoftFloat library for usage related to Mips platform and its
specifics regarding signaling bit meaning, which is done in some of
subsequent patches from this series.
Further break down of changes:
1) Added field snan_bit_is_one to the structure float_status, and
correspondent setter function set_snan_bit_is_one().
2) Constants <float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>_default_nan
(used both internally and externally) converted to functions
<float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>_default_nan(float_status*).
This is necessary since they are dependent on signaling bit meaning.
At the same time, for the sake of code cleanup and simplicity, constants
<floatx80|float128>_default_nan_<low|high> (used only internally within
SoftFloat library) are removed, as not needed.
3) Added a float_status* argument to SoftFloat library functions
XXX_is_quiet_nan(XXX a_), XXX_is_signaling_nan(XXX a_),
XXX_maybe_silence_nan(XXX a_). This argument must be present in
order to enable correct invocation of new version of functions
XXX_default_nan(). (XXX is <float16|float32|float64|floatx80|float128>
here)
4) Updated code for all platforms to reflect changes in SoftFloat library.
This change is twofolds: it includes modifications of SoftFloat library
functions invocations, and an addition of invocation of function
set_snan_bit_is_one() during CPU initialization, with arguments that
are appropriate for each particular platform. It was established that
all platforms zero their main CPU data structures, so snan_bit_is_one(0)
in appropriate places is not added, as it is not needed.

Information is tracked inside the TCGContext structure, and later used
by tracing events with the 'tcg' and 'vcpu' properties.
The 'cpu' field is used to check tracing of translation-time
events ("*_trans"). The 'tcg_env' field is used to pass it to
execution-time events ("*_exec").

In user mode, there's only a static address translation, TBs are always
invalidated properly and direct jumps are reset when mapping change.
Thus the destination address is always valid for direct jumps and
there's no need to restrict it to the pages the TB resides in.
Backports commit 90aa39a1cc4837360889f0e033ca25cc82100308 from qemu
MIPS Release 6 and MIPS SIMD Architecture make it mandatory to have IEEE
754-2008 FPU which is indicated by CP1 FIR.HAS2008, FCSR.ABS2008 and
FCSR.NAN2008 bits set to 1.
In QEMU we still keep these bits cleared as there is no 2008-NaN support.
However, this now causes problems preventing from running R6 Linux with
the v4.5 kernel. Kernel refuses to execute 2008-NaN ELFs on a CPU
whose FPU does not support 2008-NaN encoding:
(...)
VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 8:0.
devtmpfs: mounted
Freeing unused kernel memory: 256K (ffffffff806f0000 - ffffffff80730000)
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
Starting init: /sbin/init exists but couldn't execute it (error -8)
request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-464c
Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -8)
Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance.
Therefore always indicate presence of 2008-NaN support in R6 as well as in
R5+MSA CPUs, even though this feature is not yet supported by MIPS in QEMU.

The MAAR register is a read/write register included in Release 5
of the architecture that defines the accessibility attributes of
physical address regions. In particular, MAAR defines whether an
instruction fetch or data load can speculatively access a memory
region within the physical address bounds specified by MAAR.
As QEMU doesn't do speculative access, hence this patch only
provides ability to access the registers.

If executing ALIGN with shift count bp=0 within mips64 emulation,
the result of the operation should be sign extended.
Taken from the official documentation (pseudo code) :
ALIGN:
tmp_rt_hi = unsigned_word(GPR[rt]) << (8*bp)
tmp_rs_lo = unsigned_word(GPR[rs]) >> (8*(4-bp))
tmp = tmp_rt_hi || tmp_rt_lo
GPR[rd] = sign_extend.32(tmp)

This patch improves exception handling in MIPS.
Instructions generate several types of exceptions.
When exception is generated, it breaks the execution of the current
translation block. Implementation of the exceptions handling does not
correctly restore icount for the instruction which caused the exception.
In most cases icount will be decreased by the value equal to the size of
TB. This patch passes pointer to the translation block internals to the
exception handler. It allows correct restoring of the icount value.

MIPS_DEBUG is a define used to dump the instruction disassembling. It
has to be defined at compile time. In practice I believe it's more
efficient to just look at the instruction disassembly and op dump using
-d in_asm,op. This patch therefore removes the corresponding code, which
clutters translate.c.

The LWL/LDL instructions mask the GPR with a mask depending on the
address alignement. It is currently computed by doing:
mask = 0x7fffffffffffffffull >> (t1 ^ 63)
It's simpler to generate it by doing:
mask = ~(-1 << t1)
It uses one TCG instruction less, and it avoids a 32/64-bit constant
loading which can take a few instructions on RISC hosts.

When a LWL, LWR, LDL or LDR instruction triggers a page fault, QEMU
currently reports the aligned address in CP0 BadVAddr, while the Windows
NT kernel expects the unaligned address.
This patch adds a byte access with the unaligned address at the
beginning of the LWL/LWR/LDL/LDR instructions to possibly trigger a page
fault and fill the QEMU TLB.

64-bit paired-single (PS) floating point data type is optional in the
pre-Release 6.
It has to raise RI exception when PS type is not implemented. (FIR.PS = 0)
(The PS data type is removed in the Release 6.)
Loongson-2E and Loongson-2F don't have any implementation field in
FCSR0(FIR) but do support PS data format, therefore for these cores RI will
not be signalled regardless of PS bit.
