6d99ad91e8 add support for mips and mips64 r6 isa
mips32r6 and mips64r6 are actually new isas at both the asm source and
opcode levels (pre-r6 code cannot run on r6) and thus need to be
treated as a new subarch. the following changes are made, some of
which yield code generation improvements for non-r6 targets too:

- add subarch logic in configure script and reloc.h files for dynamic
  linker name.

- suppress use of .set mips2 asm directives (used to allow mips2
  atomic instructions on baseline mips1 builds; the kernel has to
  emulate them on mips1) except when actually needed. they cause wrong
  instruction encodings on r6, and pessimize inlining on at least some
  compilers.

- only hard-code sync instruction encoding on mips1.

- use "ZC" constraint instead of "m" constraint for llsc memory
  operands on r6, where the ll/sc instructions no longer accept full
  16-bit offsets.

- only hard-code rdhwr instruction encoding with .word on targets
  (pre-r2) where it may need trap-and-emulate by the kernel.
  otherwise, just use the instruction mnemonic, and allow an arbitrary
  destination register to be used.

369b22f9c4 overhaul mips atomics for new atomics framework 2016-01-22 00:10:40 +00:00
1315596b51 refactor internal atomic.h
rather than having each arch provide its own atomic.h, there is a new
shared atomic.h in src/internal which pulls arch-specific definitions
from arc/$(ARCH)/atomic_arch.h. the latter can be extremely minimal,
defining only a_cas or new ll/sc type primitives which the shared
atomic.h will use to construct everything else.

this commit avoids making heavy changes to the individual archs'
atomic implementations. definitions which are identical or
near-identical to what the new shared atomic.h would produce have been
removed, but otherwise the changes made are just hooking up the
arch-specific files to the new infrastructure. major changes to take
advantage of the new system will come in subsequent commits.
