Subject: [PATCH 0/5] MIPS: NT_PRFPREG regset handling fixes

Hi,

This series corrects a number of issues with NT_PRFPREG regset, most
importantly an FCSR access API regression introduced with the addition of
MSA support, and then a few smaller issues with the get/set handlers.

I have decided to factor out non-MSA and MSA context helpers as the first
step to avoid the issue with excessive indentation that would inevitably
happen if the regression fix was applied to current code as it stands.
It shouldn't be a big deal with backporting as this code hasn't changed
much since the regression, and it will make any future bacports easier.
Only a call to `init_fp_ctx' will have to be trivially resolved (though
arguably commit ac9ad83bc318 ("MIPS: prevent FP context set via ptrace
being discarded"), which has added `init_fp_ctx', would be good to
backport as far as possible instead).

These changes have been verified by examining the register state recorded
in core dumps manually with GDB, as well as by running the GDB test suite.
No user of ptrace(2) PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET requests is
known for the MIPS port, so this part remains not covered, however it is
assumed to remain consistent with how the creation of core file works.

See individual patch descriptions for further details.

Maciej

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] MIPS: Factor out NT_PRFPREG regset access helpers

In preparation to fix a commit 72b22bbad1e7 ("MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit
FP registers for FP regset") FCSR access regression factor out
NT_PRFPREG regset access helpers for the non-MSA and the MSA variants
respectively, to avoid having to deal with excessive indentation in the
actual fix.

No functional change, however use `target->thread.fpu.fpr[0]' rather
than `target->thread.fpu.fpr[i]' for FGR holding type size determination
as there's no `i' variable to refer to anymore, and for the factored out
`i' variable declaration use `unsigned int' rather than `unsigned' as
its type, following the common style.

Subject: [PATCH 2/5] MIPS: Fix an FCSR access API regression with NT_PRFPREG and MSA

Fix a commit 72b22bbad1e7 ("MIPS: Don't assume 64-bit FP registers for
FP regset") public API regression, then activated by commit 1db1af84d6df
("MIPS: Basic MSA context switching support"), that caused the FCSR
register not to be read or written for CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA kernel
configurations (regardless of actual presence or absence of the MSA
feature in a given processor) with ptrace(2) PTRACE_GETREGSET and
PTRACE_SETREGSET requests nor recorded in core dumps.

This is because with !CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA configurations the whole of
`elf_fpregset_t' array is bulk-copied as it is, which includes the FCSR
in one half of the last, 33rd slot, whereas with CONFIG_CPU_HAS_MSA
configurations array elements are copied individually, and then only the
leading 32 FGR slots while the remaining slot is ignored.

Correct the code then such that only FGR slots are copied in the
respective !MSA and MSA helpers an then the FCSR slot is handled
separately in common code. Use `ptrace_setfcr31' to update the FCSR
too, so that the read-only mask is respected.

Retrieving a correct value of FCSR is important in debugging not only
for the human to be able to get the right interpretation of the
situation, but for correct operation of GDB as well. This is because
the condition code bits in FSCR are used by GDB to determine the
location to place a breakpoint at when single-stepping through an FPU
branch instruction. If such a breakpoint is placed incorrectly (i.e.
with the condition reversed), then it will be missed, likely causing the
debuggee to run away from the control of GDB and consequently breaking
the process of investigation.

Fortunately GDB continues using the older PTRACE_GETFPREGS ptrace(2)
request which is unaffected, so the regression only really hits with
post-mortem debug sessions using a core dump file, in which case
execution, and consequently single-stepping through branches is not
possible. Of course core files created by buggy kernels out there will
have the value of FCSR recorded clobbered, but such core files cannot be
corrected and the person using them simply will have to be aware that
the value of FCSR retrieved is not reliable.

Which also means we can likely get away without defining a replacement
API which would ensure a correct value of FSCR to be retrieved, or none
at all.

This is based on previous work by Alex Smith, extensively rewritten.

I think the fix to use `ptrace_setfcr31' could be a separate change, but
given how its absence has been entangled with the inconsistency between
!MSA and MSA I cannot imagine how to do it in a sane manner:

1. If done first, then it would have to be applied to the !MSA case only,
only to be moved to shared code in the next step.

2. If done second, then new incorrect shared code would have to be written
only to be fixed in the next step.

So I think it has to go along with the main fix. Though maybe choosing #2
would make backporting easier, as `ptrace_setfcr31' is v4.1+ only and:

target->thread.fpu.fcr31 = fcr31;

has to be used before that (previously the read-only mask wasn't defined
and you could write arbitrary rubbish to FCSR, especially in the emulated
case).

Thoughts?
