2008-12-18[ARM] 5349/1: VFP: Add PM code to save and restore current VFP stateBen Dooks
When CONFIG_PM is selected, the VFP code does not have any handler installed to deal with either saving the VFP state of the current task, nor does it do anything to try and restore the VFP after a resume. On resume, the VFP will have been reset and the co-processor access control registers are in an indeterminate state (very probably the CP10 and CP11 the VFP uses will have been disabled by the ARM core reset). When this happens, resume will break as soon as it tries to unfreeze the tasks and restart scheduling. Add a sys device to allow us to hook the suspend call to save the current thread state if the thread is using VFP and a resume hook which restores the CP10/CP11 access and ensures the VFP is disabled so that the lazy swapping will take place on next access.

2008-01-26[ARM] 4582/2: Add support for the common VFP subarchitectureCatalin Marinas
This patch allows the VFP support code to run correctly on CPUs compatible with the common VFP subarchitecture specification (Appendix B in the ARM ARM v7-A and v7-R edition). It implements support for VFP subarchitecture 2 while being backwards compatible with subarchitecture 1. On VFP subarchitecture 1, the arithmetic exceptions are asynchronous (or imprecise as described in the old ARM ARM) unless the FPSCR.IXE bit is 1. The exceptional instructions can be read from FPINST and FPINST2 registers. With VFP subarchitecture 2, the arithmetic exceptions can also be synchronous and marked by the FPEXC.DEX bit (the FPEXC.EX bit is cleared). CPUs implementing the synchronous arithmetic exceptions don't have the FPINST and FPINST2 registers and accessing them would trigger and undefined exception. Note that FPEXC.EX bit has an additional meaning on subarchitecture 1 - if it isn't set, there is no additional information in FPINST and FPINST2 that needs to be saved at context switch or when lazy-loading the VFP state of a different thread. The patch also removes the clearing of the cumulative exception flags in FPSCR when additional exceptions were raised. It is up to the user application to clear these bits.

2007-09-13[ARM] 4567/1: Fix 'Oops - undefined instruction' when CONFIG_VFP=y on non ↵Tzachi Perelstein
VFP device vfp_init() takes care of the condition when CONFIG_VFP=y but no real VFP device exists. However, when this condition is true, a compiler might misplace code lines in a way that will break this support. (To be more specific - fmrx(FPSID) might be executed before vfp_testing_entry assignment, which will end up with Oops - undefined instruction). This patch adds a barrier() to guarantee the right execution ordering. Signed-off-by: Assaf Hoffman Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2007-06-10[ARM] VFP: fix section mismatch errorRussell King
Fix a real section mismatch issue; the test code is thrown away after initialisation, but if we do not detect the VFP hardware, it is left hooked into the exception handler. Any VFP instructions which are subsequently executed risk calling the discarded exception handler. Introduce a new "null" handler which returns to the "unrecognised fault" return address.

2007-01-25[ARM] 4111/1: Allow VFP to work with thread migration on SMPCatalin Marinas
The current lazy saving of the VFP registers is no longer possible with thread migration on SMP. This patch implements a per-CPU vfp-state pointer and the saving of the VFP registers at every context switch. The registers restoring is still performed in a lazy way.

2007-01-02[ARM] Fix VFP initialisation issue for SMP systemsRussell King

2006-12-08[ARM] Handle HWCAP_VFP in VFP support codeRussell King
Don't set HWCAP_VFP in the processor support file; not only does it depend on the processor features, but it also depends on the support code being present. Therefore, only set it if the support code detects that we have a VFP coprocessor attached. Also, move the VFP handling of the coprocessor access register into the VFP support code.

2006-08-27[ARM] 3748/3: Correct error check in vfp_raise_exceptionsDaniel Jacobowitz
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz The recent fix to hide VFP_NAN_FLAG broke the check in vfp_raise_exceptions; it would attempt to deliver an exception mask of 0xfffffeff instead of reporting a serious error condition using printk. Define a safe constant to use for an invalid exception maskm, and use it at both ends.

2006-06-22[ARM] Add thread_notify infrastructureRussell King
Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable. Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem (eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

2006-05-05[ARM] 3499/1: Fix VFP FPSCR corruption for double exception caseGeorge G. Davis
Patch from George G. Davis The ARM VFP FPSCR register is corrupted when a condition flags modifying VFP instruction is followed by a non-condition flags modifying VFP instruction and both instructions raise exceptions. The fix is to read the current FPSCR in between emulation of these two instructions and use the current FPSCR value when handling the second exception. Signed-off-by: George G.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
