Ralf Baechle c948aca4f4 MIPS: Fix build breakage if CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is enabled.
Caused by 38b7827fcd - no, cpu_local_* was
not unused.

David Daney b6ee75ed4f MIPS: Collect FPU emulator statistics per-CPU.
On SMP systems, the collection of statistics can cause cache line
bouncing in the lines associated with the counters.  Also there are
races incrementing the counters on multiple CPUs.

To fix both problems, we collect the statistics in per-CPU variables,
and add them up in the debugfs read operation.

As a test I ran the LTP float_bessel test on a 12 CPU Octeon system.

Without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS :             2602 seconds.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_FS:                 2640 seconds.
With non-cpu-local atomic statistics: 14569 seconds.

Ralf Baechle ba3049ed40 MIPS: Switch FPU emulator trap to BREAK instruction.
Arguably using the address error handler has always been ugly.  But with
processors that handle unaligned loads and stores in hardware the
current mechanism ceases to work so switch it to a BREAK instruction and
allocate break code 514 to the FPU emulator.

Yoichi Yuasa provided a build fix for CONFIG_BUG=n.
