MIPS FPU emulator: allow Cause bits of FCSR to be writeable by ctc1
In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register
are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases,
this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero
exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to
restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In
this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would
cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution
is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of
the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware
that the code is emulating.
This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes
to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words:
I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The
Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the
CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that
actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would
work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of
the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic
(which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't
necessarily writable.
