WANG Xuerui bc6e8dc112 MIPS: handle Loongson-specific GSExc exception
Newer Loongson cores (Loongson-3A R2 and newer) use the
implementation-dependent ExcCode 16 to signal Loongson-specific
exceptions. The extended cause is put in the non-standard CP0.Diag1
register which is CP0 Register 22 Select 1, called GSCause in Loongson
manuals. Inside is an exception code bitfield called GSExcCode, only
codes 0 to 6 inclusive are documented (so far, in the Loongson 3A3000
User Manual, Volume 2).

During experiments, it was found that some undocumented unprivileged
instructions can trigger the also-undocumented GSExcCode 8 on Loongson
3A4000. Processor state is not corrupted, but we cannot continue without
further knowledge, and Loongson is not providing that information as of
this writing. So we send SIGILL on seeing this exception code to thwart
easy local DoS attacks.

Other exception codes are made fatal, partly because of insufficient
knowledge, also partly because they are not as easily reproduced. None
of them are encountered in the wild with upstream kernels and userspace
so far.

Some older cores (Loongson-3A1000 and Loongson-3B1500) have ExcCode 16
too, but the semantic is equivalent to GSExcCode 0. Because the
respective manuals did not mention the CP0.Diag1 register or its read
behavior, these cores are not covered in this patch, as MFC0 from
non-existent CP0 registers is UNDEFINED according to the MIPS
architecture spec.
