MIPS: Add defs & probing of extended CP0_EBase
The CP0_EBase register may optionally have a write gate (WG) bit to
allow the upper bits to be written, i.e. bits 31:30 on MIPS32 since r3
(to allow for an exception base outside of KSeg0/KSeg1 when segmentation
control is in use) and bits 63:30 on MIPS64 (which also implies the
extension of CP0_EBase to 64 bits long).
The presence of this feature will need to be known about for VZ support
in order to correctly save and restore all the bits of the guest
CP0_EBase register, so add CPU feature definition and probing for this
feature.
Probing the WG bit on MIPS64 can be a bit fiddly, since 64-bit COP0
register access instructions were UNDEFINED for 32-bit registers prior
to MIPS r6, and it'd be nice to be able to probe without clobbering the
existing state, so there are 3 potential paths:
- If we do a 32-bit read of CP0_EBase and the WG bit is already set, the
register must be 64-bit.
- On MIPS r6 we can do a 64-bit read-modify-write to set CP0_EBase.WG,
since the upper bits will read 0 and be ignored on write if the
register is 32-bit.
- On pre-r6 cores, we do a 32-bit read-modify-write of CP0_EBase. This
avoids the potentially UNDEFINED behaviour, but will clobber the upper
32-bits of CP0_EBase if it isn't a simple sign extension (which also
requires us to ensure BEV=1 or modifying the exception base would be
UNDEFINED too). It is hopefully unlikely a bootloader would set up
CP0_EBase to a 64-bit segment and leave WG=0.
