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.
Backports commit ba5c79f26221c0fd7139c883a34a4e75d993f732 from 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.
Backports commit f6d4dd810983fdf3d1c9fb81838167efef63d1c8 from qemu
Indicate that in the MIPS64R6-generic CPU the memory-mapped
Global Configuration Register Space is implemented.

MIPS Release 6 provides multi-threading features which replace
pre-R6 MT Module. CP0.Config3.MT is always 0 in R6, instead there is new
CP0.Config5.VP (Virtual Processor) bit which indicates presence of
multi-threading support which includes CP0.GlobalNumber register and
DVP/EVP instructions.

Set Config5.XNP for R6 cores to indicate the extended LL/SC family
of instructions NOT present.

As full specification of P5600 is available, mips32r5-generic should
be renamed to P5600 and corrected as its intention.
Correct PRid and detail of configuration.
Features which are not currently supported are described as FIXME.
Fix Config.MM bit location
Backports commit aff2bc6dc6d839caf6df0900437cc2cc9e180605 from qemu
Fix core configuration for MIPS64R6-generic to make it as close as
I6400.
I6400 core has 48-bit of Virtual Address available (SEGBITS).
MIPS SIMD Architecture is available.
Rearrange order of bits to match the specification.

Define a new CPU definition supporting MIPS32 Release 6 ISA and
microMIPS32 Release 6 ISA.

PABITS are not hardcoded to 36 bits and we do not model 59 PABITS (which is
the architectural limit) in QEMU.
Backports commit 28b027d5b63c7550c7390041d6dd50948c8f55b8 from qemu
This relatively small architectural feature adds the following:
FIR.FREP: Read-only. If FREP=1, then Config5.FRE and Config5.UFE are
available.
Config5.FRE: When enabled all single-precision FP arithmetic instructions,
LWC1/LWXC1/MTC1, SWC1/SWXC1/MFC1 cause a Reserved Instructions
exception.
Config5.UFE: Allows user to write/read Config5.FRE using CTC1/CFC1
instructions.
Enable the feature in MIPS64R6-generic CPU.
Backports commit 7c979afd11b09a16634699dd6344e3ba10c9677e from qemu
Save MSACSR state. Also remove fp_status, msa_fp_status, hflags and restore
them in post_load() from the architectural registers.
Float exception flags are not present in vmstate. Information they carry
is used only by softfloat caller who translates them into MIPS FCSR.Cause,
FCSR.Flags and then they are cleared. Therefore there is no need for saving
them in vmstate.

Add the M14K and M14Kc processors from MIPS Technologies that are the
original implementation of the microMIPS ISA. They are dual instruction
set processors, implementing both the microMIPS and the standard MIPSr32
ISA.
These processors correspond to the M4K and 4KEc CPUs respectively,
except with support for the microMIPS instruction set added, support for
the MCU ASE added and two extra interrupt lines, making a total of 8
hardware interrupts plus 2 software interrupts. The remaining parts of
the microarchitecture, in particular the pipeline, stayed unchanged.
The presence of the microMIPS ASE is is reflected in the configuration
added. We currently have no support for the MCU ASE, including in
particular the ACLR, ASET and IRET instructions in either encoding, and
we have no support for the extra interrupt lines, including bits in
CP0.Status and CP0.Cause registers, so these features are not marked,
making our support diverge from real hardware.
Backports commit 11f5ea105c06bec72e9bc9a700fa65d60afb5ec3 from qemu
Add the 5KEc and 5KEf processors from MIPS Technologies that are the
original implementation of the MIPS64r2 ISA.
Silicon for these processors has never been taped out and no soft cores
were released even. They do exist though, a CP0.PRId value has been
assigned and experimental RTLs produced at the time the MIPS64r2 ISA has
been finalized. The settings introduced here faithfully reproduce that
hardware.
As far the implementation goes these processors are the same as the 5Kc
and the 5Kf CPUs respectively, except implementing the MIPS64r2 rather
than the original MIPS64 instruction set. There must have been some
updates to the CP0 architecture as mandated by the ISA, such as the
addition of the EBase register, although I am not sure about the exact
details, no documentation has ever been produced for these processors.
The remaining parts of the microarchitecture, in particular the
pipeline, stayed unchanged. Or to put it another way, the difference
between a 5K and a 5KE CPU corresponds to one between a 4K and a 4KE
CPU, except for the 64-bit rather than 32-bit ISA.
