James Hogan 22b8ba765a MIPS: Fix MIPS64 FP save/restore on 32-bit kernels
32-bit kernels can be configured to support MIPS64, in which case
neither CONFIG_64BIT or CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R* will be set. This causes
the CP0_Status.FR checks at the point of floating point register save
and restore to be compiled out, which results in odd FP registers not
being saved or restored to the task or signal context even when
CP0_Status.FR is set.

Fix the ifdefs to use CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR2 and CONFIG_CPU_MIPSR6, which are
enabled for the relevant revisions of either MIPS32 or MIPS64, along
with some other CPUs such as Octeon (r2), Loongson1 (r2), XLP (r2),
Loongson 3A R2.

The suspect code originates from commit 597ce1723e0f ("MIPS: Support for
64-bit FP with O32 binaries") in v3.14, however the code in
__enable_fpu() was consistent and refused to set FR=1, falling back to
software FPU emulation. This was suboptimal but should be functionally
correct.

Commit fcc53b5f6c38 ("MIPS: fpu.h: Allow 64-bit FPU on a 64-bit MIPS R6
CPU") in v4.2 (and stable tagged back to 4.0) later introduced the bug
by updating __enable_fpu() to set FR=1 but failing to update the other
similar ifdefs to enable FR=1 state handling.

Fixes: fcc53b5f6c38 ("MIPS: fpu.h: Allow 64-bit FPU on a 64-bit MIPS R6 CPU")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
