Building 32-bit MIPS64r2 kernels produces warnings like the following on certain toolchains (such as GNU assembler 2.24.90, but not GNU assembler 2.28.51) since commit22b8ba765a("MIPS: Fix MIPS64 FP save/restore on 32-bit kernels"), due to the exposure of fpu_save_16odd from fpu_save_double and fpu_restore_16odd from fpu_restore_double: arch/mips/kernel/r4k_fpu.S:47: Warning: float register should be even, was 1 ... arch/mips/kernel/r4k_fpu.S:59: Warning: float register should be even, was 1 ... This appears to be because .set mips64r2 does not change the FPU ABI to 64-bit when -march=mips64r2 (or e.g. -march=xlp) is provided on the command line on that toolchain, from the default FPU ABI of 32-bit due to the -mabi=32. This makes access to the odd FPU registers invalid. Fix by explicitly changing the FPU ABI with .set fp=64 directives in fpu_save_16odd and fpu_restore_16odd, and moving the undefine of fp up in asmmacro.h so fp doesn't turn into $30.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
