Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] arm64: Support systems without FP/ASIMD
Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2016 13:56:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1478613381-5718-1-git-send-email-suzuki.poulose@arm.com> (raw)
This series adds supports to the kernel and KVM hyp to handle
systems without FP/ASIMD properly. At the moment the kernel
doesn't check if the FP unit is available before accessing
the registers (e.g during context switch). Also for KVM,
we trap the FP/ASIMD accesses and handle it by injecting an
undefined instruction into the VM on systems without FP.
Tested on a FVP_Base-AEM-v8A model by disabling VFP on at
least one CPU ( -C clusterX.cpuY.vfp-present=0 ).
Changes since V2:
- Dropped cleanup patch for arm64/crypto/aes-ce-ccm-glue.c
- Removed static_key check from cpus_have_cap. All users with
constant caps should use the new API to make use of static_keys.
- Removed a dedicated static_key used in irqchip-gic-v3.c for
Cavium errata with the new API.
Applies on v4.9-rc4 + [1] (which is pushed for rc5)
