MIPS: Fix exception entry when CONFIG_EVA enabled
Commit 9fef68686317b ("MIPS: Make SAVE_SOME more standard") made several
changes to the order in which registers are saved in the SAVE_SOME
macro, used by exception handlers to save the processor state. In
particular, it removed the
move k1, sp
in the delay slot of the branch testing if the processor is already in
kernel mode. This is replaced later in the macro by a
move k0, sp
When CONFIG_EVA is disabled, this instruction actually appears in the
delay slot of the branch. However, when CONFIG_EVA is enabled, instead
the RPS workaround of
MFC0 k0, CP0_ENTRYHI
appears in the delay slot. This results in k0 not containing the stack
pointer, but some unrelated value, which is then saved to the kernel
stack. On exit from the exception, this bogus value is restored to the
stack pointer, resulting in an OOPS.
Fix this by moving the save of SP in k0 explicitly in the delay slot of
the branch, outside of the CONFIG_EVA section, restoring the expected
instruction ordering when CONFIG_EVA is active.
