    powerpc: Add VSX context save/restore, ptrace and signal support · ce48b210
    Michael Neuling 提交于
    This patch extends the floating point save and restore code to use the
    VSX load/stores when VSX is available.  This will make FP context
    save/restore marginally slower on FP only code, when VSX is available,
    as it has to load/store 128bits rather than just 64bits.
    
    Mixing FP, VMX and VSX code will get constant architected state.
    
    The signals interface is extended to enable access to VSR 0-31
    doubleword 1 after discussions with tool chain maintainers.  Backward
    compatibility is maintained.
    
    The ptrace interface is also extended to allow access to VSR 0-31 full
    registers.
