Since at least the beginning of the git era we've declared our TLB
exception handling functions inconsistently. They're actually functions,
but we declare them as arrays of u32 where each u32 is an encoded
instruction. This has always been the case for arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c, and
has also been true for arch/mips/kernel/traps.c since commit
86a1708a9d54 ("MIPS: Make tlb exception handler definitions and
declarations match.") which aimed for consistency but did so by
consistently making the our C code inconsistent with our assembly.
This is all usually harmless, but when using GCC 7 or newer to build a
kernel targeting microMIPS (ie. CONFIG_CPU_MICROMIPS=y) it becomes
problematic. With microMIPS bit 0 of the program counter indicates the
ISA mode. When bit 0 is zero instructions are decoded using the standard
MIPS32 or MIPS64 ISA. When bit 0 is one instructions are decoded using
microMIPS. This means that function pointers become odd - their least
significant bit is one for microMIPS code. We work around this in cases
where we need to access code using loads & stores with our
msk_isa16_mode() macro which simply clears bit 0 of the value it is
given:
#define msk_isa16_mode(x) ((x) & ~0x1)
For example we do this for our TLB load handler in
build_r4000_tlb_load_handler():
u32 *p = (u32 *)msk_isa16_mode((ulong)handle_tlbl);
We then write code to p, expecting it to be suitably aligned (our LEAF
macro aligns functions on 4 byte boundaries, so (ulong)handle_tlbl will
give a value one greater than a multiple of 4 - ie. the start of a
function on a 4 byte boundary, with the ISA mode bit 0 set).
This worked fine up to GCC 6, but GCC 7 & onwards is smart enough to
presume that handle_tlbl which we declared as an array of u32s must be
aligned sufficiently that bit 0 of its address will never be set, and as
a result optimize out msk_isa16_mode(). This leads to p having an
address with bit 0 set, and when we go on to attempt to store code at
that address we take an address error exception due to the unaligned
memory access.
This leads to an exception prior to the kernel having configured its own
exception handlers, so we jump to whatever handlers the bootloader
configured. In the case of QEMU this results in a silent hang, since it
has no useful general exception vector.
Fix this by consistently declaring our TLB-related functions as
functions. For handle_tlbl(), handle_tlbs() & handle_tlbm() we do this
in asm/tlbex.h & we make use of the existing declaration of
tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd() in asm/mmu_context.h. Our TLB handler
generation code in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c is adjusted to deal with these
definitions, in most cases simply by casting the function pointers to
u32 pointers.
This allows us to include asm/mmu_context.h in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c to
get the definitions of tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd & pgd_current, removing
some needless duplication. Consistently using msk_isa16_mode() on
function pointers means we no longer need the
tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd_start symbol so that is removed entirely.
Now that we're declaring our functions as functions GCC stops optimizing
out msk_isa16_mode() & a microMIPS kernel built with either GCC 7.3.0 or
8.1.0 boots successfully.

We export tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd in arch/mips/mm/tlbex.c close to a
declaration of it, rather than close to its definition as is standard.
We've supported exporting symbols in assembly code since commit
22823ab419d8 ("EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm"), so move the export to follow
the function's (stub) definition.

Commit f4ae17aa0f2122b52f642985b46210a1f2eceb0a [MIPS: mm: Use scratch for
PGD when !CONFIG_MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT] broke microMIPS kernel builds. This
patch refactors that code similar to what was done for the 'clear_page'
and 'copy_page' functions.

Allow usage of scratch register for current pgd even when
MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not configured. MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is set
for 64r2 platforms to indicate availability of Xcontext for saving
cpuid, thus freeing Context to be used for saving PGD. This option
was also tied to using a scratch register for storing PGD.
This commit will allow usage of scratch register to store the current
pgd if one can be allocated for the platform, even when
MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is not set. The cpuid will be kept in the CP0
Context register in this case.
The code to store the current pgd for the TLB miss handler is now
generated in all cases. When scratch register is available, the PGD
is also stored in the scratch register.

tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd* are only referenced when
CONFIG_MIPS_PGD_C0_CONTEXT is defined.

Prepare of a next patch which will call tlbmiss_handler_setup_pgd on
microMIPS. MicroMIPS complains if the called code s not in the .text
section. To fix this we generate code into space reserved in
arch/mips/mm/tlb-funcs.S
While there, move the rest of the generated functions (handle_tlbl,
handle_tlbs, handle_tlbm) to the same file.
