Subject: [PATCH v2 00/16] MSA vector context signal handling & HWCAPs

This series provides the final bits of support for MSA as far as
userland that isn't a debugger goes. In order to preserve backwards
compatibility it saves the extended vector context after the end of the
sigframe or ucontext, at a fixed offset. A bit set in sigcontext's
sc_used_math field indicates to userland (and to the kernel on
sigreturn) that the extended context is present.

With these final bits in, the presence of MSA support is indicated via a
HWCAP bit that userland may check for.

Paul Burton (16):
  MIPS: remove outdated comments in sigcontext.h
  MIPS: simplify EVA FP context handling code
  MIPS: add offsets to sigcontext FP fields to struct mips_abi
  MIPS: use struct mips_abi offsets to save FP context
  MIPS: move FP usage checks into protected_{save,restore}_fp_context
  MIPS: skip odd double FP registers when copying FP32 sigcontext
  MIPS: use common FP sigcontext code for O32 compat
  MIPS: remove unused {get,put}_sigset functions
  MIPS: indicate FP mode in sigcontext sc_used_math
  MIPS: add definitions for extended context
  MIPS: save MSA extended context around signals
  MIPS: AT_HWCAP aux vector infrastructure
  MIPS: advertise MIPSr6 via HWCAP when appropriate
  MIPS: advertise MSA support via HWCAP when present
  MIPS: require O32 FP64 support for MIPS64 with O32 compat
  MIPS: drop EXPERIMENTAL tag from O32+FP64 & MSA
