Add support for emulating the new CMP.condn.fmt R6 instructions and
return SIGILL for the old C.cond.fmt if R2 emulation is not enabled
since it's not supported by R6.
The functionality of the new CMP.condn.fmt is the following one:
If the comparison specified by the condn field of the instruction
is true for the operand values, the result is true; otherwise, the
result is false. If no exception is taken, the result is written into
FPR fd; true is all 1s and false is all 0s repeated the operand width
of fmt. All other bits beyond the operand width fmt are UNPREDICTABLE.

The double format (d_fmt) case uses an opening bracket which then
closes at the end of the word format (w_fmt). This can be rather confusing
so add the closing bracket at the end of the d_fmt case and use another one

Commit 5f9f41c474 ("MIPS: kernel: Prepare
the JR instruction for emulation on MIPS R6") added support for
emulating the JR instruction on MIPS R6 cores but that introduced a bug
which could be triggered when hitting a JALR opcode because the code used
the wrong field in the 'r_format' struct to determine the instruction
opcode. This lead to crashes because an emulated JALR instruction was
treated as a JR one when the R6 emulator was turned off.

Fix "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible" reported in accesses
to thread's FPU defaults: the value to initialise FSCR to at program

emulation, removing a regression introduced with 9b26616c [MIPS: Respect
the ISA level in FCSR handling] and f6843626 [MIPS: math-emu: Set FIR
feature flags for full emulation].
Use `boot_cpu_data' to obtain the data from, following the approach that
`cpu_has_*' macros take and avoiding the call to `smp_processor_id' made
in the reference to `current_cpu_data'. The contents of FSCR have to be
consistent across processors in an SMP system, the settings there must
not change as a thread is migrated across processors. And the contents
of FIR are guaranteed to be consistent in FPU emulation, by definition.

The ABS.fmt and NEG.fmt instructions have been specified as arithmetic
in the MIPS architecture, which in particular implies handling NaN data
in the usual way with qNaN bit patterns propagated unchanged and sNaN
bit patterns signalling the usual IEEE 754 Invalid Operation exception
and quieted by default.
A series of changes applied over time to our implementation:
c5033d78 [MIPS] ieee754[sd]p_neg workaround
cea2be44 MIPS: Fix abs.[sd] and neg.[sd] emulation for NaN operands
has led to the current situation where the sign bit is updated according
to the operation requested even for NaN inputs. This is according to
these commits a workaround so that broken binaries produced by GCC
disregarding the properties of these instructions have a chance to work.
For sNaN inputs this remains within IEEE Std 754 as the standard leaves
the choice of output qNaN bit patterns produced under the default
Invalid Operation exception handling for individual sNaN input bit
patterns to implementer's discretion, even though it still recommends as
much NaN input information to be preserved in NaN outputs.
For qNaN inputs however it violates the standard as it requires a qNaN
input bit patterns to propagate unchanged to output.
This is also unlike real MIPS FPU hardware behaves where sNaN and/or
qNaN processing has been fully implemented with no Unimplemented
Operation exception signalled. Such hardware propagates any input qNaN
bit pattern unchanged. It also quiets any input sNaN bit pattern in an
implementer-specific manner, for example the MIPS 74Kf processor returns
the default qNaN pattern with the sign bit always clear and the Broadcom
SB-1 and BMIPS5000 processors propagate the input sNaN bit pattern with
the sign bit unchanged and the quiet bit first cleared in the trailing
significand field and then the next lower bit set if clearing the quiet
bit left the field with no other bit set.
Especially the latter observation indicates the limited usefulness of
the workaround as it will cover many hardware configurations, but not
all of them, only making it harder to discover such broken binaries that
need to be recompiled with GCC told to avoid the use of ABS.fmt and
NEG.fmt instructions where non-arithmetic semantics is required by the
algorithm used.
Revert the damage done by the series of changes then, and take the
opportunity to simplify implementation by calling `ieee754dp_sub' and
`ieee754dp_add' as required and also the rounding mode set towards -Inf
temporarily so that the sign of 0 is correctly handled.

Correct a cache coherency regression introduced with be1664c4 [Another
round of fixes for the fp emulator.] for the emulation frame used in
delay-slot emulation.
Two instructions are copied into the frame and as from the commit
referred a cache synchronisation call is made for the second instruction
aka `badinst' of the two only. The `flush_cache_sigtramp' interface is
reused that guarantees that synchronisation will be made for 8 bytes or
2 instructions starting from the address requested, although if cache
lines are wider then a larger area may be synchronised.
Change the call to point to the first of the two instructions aka `emul'
instead, removing unpredictable behaviour resulting from cache
incoherency.
This bug only ever manifested itself on systems implementing 4-byte
cache lines, typically MIPS I systems, causing all kinds of weirdness.
This is because the sequence of two instructions starting from `emul' is
8-byte aligned and for 8-byte or wider cache lines the line synchronised
will span both, so the vast majority of systems have escaped unharmed.

Hybrid FPRs is a scheme where scalar FP registers are 64b wide, but
accesses to odd indexed single registers use bits 63:32 of the
preceeding even indexed 64b register. In this mode all FP code
except that built for the plain FP64 ABI can execute correctly. Most
notably a combination of FP64A & FP32 code can execute correctly,
allowing for existing FP32 binaries to be linked with new FP64A binaries
that can make use of 64 bit FP & MSA.
Hybrid FPRs are implemented by setting both the FR & FRE bits, trapping
& emulating single precision FP instructions (via Reserved Instruction
exceptions) whilst allowing others to execute natively. It therefore has
a penalty in terms of execution speed, and should only be used when no
fully native mode can be. As more binaries are recompiled to use either
the FPXX or FP64(A) ABIs, the need for hybrid FPRs should diminish.
However in the short to mid term it allows for a gradual transition
towards that world, rather than a complete ABI break which is not
feasible for some users & not desirable for many.
A task will be executed using the hybrid FPR scheme when its
TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS flag is set & TIF_32BIT_FPREGS is clear. A further
patch will set the flags as necessary, this patch simply adds the
infrastructure necessary for the hybrid FPR mode to work.
