    MIPS: kernel: mips-r2-to-r6-emul: Add R2 emulator for MIPS R6 · b0a668fb
    Leonid Yegoshin authored
    
    
    MIPS R6 removed quite a few R2 instructions. However, there
    is plenty of <R6 userland code so we add an in-kernel emulator
    so we can still be able to execute all R2 userland out there.
    
    The emulator comes with a handy debugfs under /mips/ directory
    (r2-emul-stats) to provide some basic statistics of the
    instructions that are being emulated.
    
    Below are some statistics from booting a minimal buildroot image:
