Follow our own rules set in <asm/siginfo.h> for SIGTRAP signals issued
from `do_watch' and `do_trap_or_bp' by setting the signal code to
TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRKPT respectively, for Watch exceptions and for
those Breakpoint exceptions whose originating BREAK instruction's code
does not have a special meaning. Keep Trap exceptions unaffected as
these are not debug events.
No existing user software is expected to examine signal codes for these
signals as SI_KERNEL has been always used here. This change makes the
MIPS port more like other Linux ports, which reduces the complexity and
provides for performance improvement in GDB.

Complement commit 102cedc32a ("MIPS: microMIPS: Floating point
support.") which introduced microMIPS FPU emulation, but did not adjust
the encoding of the BREAK instruction used to terminate the branch delay
slot emulation frame. Consequently the execution of any such frame is
indeterminate and, depending on CPU configuration, will result in random
code execution or an offending program being terminated with SIGILL.
This is because the regular MIPS BREAK instruction is encoded with the 0
major and the 0xd minor opcode, however in the microMIPS instruction set
this major/minor opcode pair denotes an encoding reserved for the DSP
ASE. Instead the microMIPS BREAK instruction is encoded with the 0
major and the 0x7 minor opcode.
Use the correct BREAK encoding for microMIPS FPU emulation then.

Rework `process_fpemu_return' and move IEEE 754 exception interpretation
there, from `do_fpe'. Record the cause bits set in FCSR before they are
cleared and pass them through to `process_fpemu_return' so as to set
`si_code' correctly too for SIGFPE signals sent from emulation rather
than those issued by hardware with the FPE processor exception only.
For simplicity `mipsr2_decoder' assumes `*fcr31' has been preinitialised
and only sets it to anything if an FPU instruction has been emulated,
which in turn is the only case SIGFPE can be issued for here.

Use `static inline' rather than `static __maybe_unused' for
`mipsr2_decoder' in the empty case, making inlining explicit where it
will happen anyway.

MIPS R6 removed quite a few R2 instructions. However, there
is plenty of <R6 userland code so we add an in-kernel emulator
so we can still be able to execute all R2 userland out there.
The emulator comes with a handy debugfs under /mips/ directory
(r2-emul-stats) to provide some basic statistics of the
instructions that are being emulated.
Below are some statistics from booting a minimal buildroot image:
