Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] arm64: Implement SMCCC v1.3 SVE register saving hint
Date: Tue, 18 May 2021 19:25:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210518182549.38635-1-broonie@kernel.org> (raw)
SMCCC v1.3 provides support for a flag which allows the caller to say
that there is no state that needs to be preserved in the SVE registers,
meaning that the called code can skip doing this, especially with larger
vector lengths this can save a noticable amount of work in the event
that the state needs to be saved. Implement support for this, using the
TIF_ flags to report if there is live SVE state present.
This overlaps with Sudeep's patch "arm64: smccc: Add support for
SMCCCv1.2 extended input/output registers"[1] although there shouldn't
be any conflicts, that adds some new SMCCC calls for v1.2 - the new
functions for v1.2 calls will need updating to take advantage of the
hint bit.
v2:
- Use ldr_l rather than adrp/ldr so we load the hint flag rather than
the start of the 4K block the hint flag happens to be in.
- Disable the optimisation when running in nVHE so we don't try to jump
to a function that isn't mapped or look at a current task that isn't
meaningful.
- Use _TIF for a bitfield like we should've done first time round.
