Before that, there was no MIPS II - V support in LLVM. MIPS I was excluded since there's no known usage of that ISA.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>The architecture docs (<a href="https://www.mips.com/products/architectures/mips32-2/" class="">https://www.mips.com/products/architectures/mips32-2/</a>) say it was added in MIPS32r2. If it was defined before then then it's odd that that document doesn't define it for MIPS32r1. MIPS didn't have any of pre MIPS32 docs available so the earliest docs I could find at the time was for MIPS II - IV (<a href="https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/academic/class/15740-f97/public/doc/mips-isa.pdf" class="">https://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/academic/class/15740-f97/public/doc/mips-isa.pdf</a>) which doesn't mention ei/di. Additionally, they're COP0 instructions and it's mentioned at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture" class="">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture</a> that COP0 is implementation defined for MIPS I - V. That being the case, ei/di for EE may be different from the MIPS32r2 one and should probably enabled for EE specifically rather than for MIPS II - V.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" class="">I will try to bisect and possibly fix this bug.</font></div></div></div></div>
