* arm64: fix bug for reloading FPSIMD state after cpu power offLeo Yan2014-09-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now arm64 defers reloading FPSIMD state, but this optimization also introduces the bug after cpu resume back from low power mode. The reason is after the cpu has been powered off, s/w need set the cpu's fpsimd_last_state to NULL so that it will force to reload FPSIMD state for the thread, otherwise there has the chance to meet the condition for both the task's fpsimd_state.cpu field contains the id of the current cpu, and the cpu's fpsimd_last_state per-cpu variable points to the task's fpsimd_state, so finally kernel will skip to reload the context during it return back to userland.

* arm64: add support for kernel mode NEON in interrupt contextArd Biesheuvel2014-05-081-14/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch modifies kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end(), so they may be called from any context. To address the case where only a couple of registers are needed, kernel_neon_begin_partial(u32) is introduced which takes as a parameter the number of bottom 'n' NEON q-registers required. To mark the end of such a partial section, the regular kernel_neon_end() should be used. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
* arm64: defer reloading a task's FPSIMD state to userland resumeArd Biesheuvel2014-05-081-16/+128
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time. This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment, i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the same CPU. This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD register file saves and restores: - fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded - fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
* arm64: add abstractions for FPSIMD state manipulationArd Biesheuvel2014-05-081-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two tacit assumptions in the FPSIMD handling code that will no longer hold after the next patch that optimizes away some FPSIMD state restores: . the FPSIMD registers of this CPU contain the userland FPSIMD state of task 'current'; . when switching to a task, its FPSIMD state will always be restored from memory. This patch adds the following functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD register file saves and restores: - fpsimd_preserve_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is saved - fpsimd_update_current_state -> replace current's FPSIMD state Where necessary, the signal handling and fork code are updated to use the above wrappers instead of poking into the FPSIMD registers directly.

* arm64: kernel: implement fpsimd CPU PM notifierLorenzo Pieralisi2013-12-161-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | When a CPU enters a low power state, its FP register content is lost. This patch adds a notifier to save the FP context on CPU shutdown and restore it on CPU resume. The context is saved and restored only if the suspending thread is not a kernel thread, mirroring the current context switch behaviour. Signed-off-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi <lorenzo.pieralisi@arm.com>
* arm64: fix possible invalid FPSIMD initialization stateJiang Liu2013-09-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(), stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().

* arm64: add support for kernel mode NEONArd Biesheuvel2013-08-201-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add <asm/neon.h> containing kernel_neon_begin/kernel_neon_end function declarations and corresponding definitions in fpsimd.c These are needed to wrap uses of NEON in kernel mode. The names are identical to the ones used in arm/ so code using intrinsics or vectorized by GCC can be shared between arm and arm64.

* arm64: Floating point and SIMDCatalin Marinas2012-09-171-0/+106
This patch adds support for FP/ASIMD register bank saving and restoring during context switch and FP exception handling to generate SIGFPE. There are 32 128-bit registers and the context switching is currently done non-lazily. Benchmarks on real hardware are required before implementing lazy FP state saving/restoring.
