      [ARM] 4582/2: Add support for the common VFP subarchitecture · c98929c0
      Catalin Marinas 提交于
      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.

      [ARM] Enable VFP to be built when non-VFP capable CPUs are selected · 1a6be26d
      Russell King 提交于
      Since we pass flags to the compiler to control code generation based
      on the least capable selected CPU, if we want to include VFP support,
      we must tweak the assembler flags to allow the VFP instructions.
      Moreover, we must not use the mrrc/mcrr versions since these will not
      be recognised by the assembler.
      
      We do not convert all instructions to the VFP-equivalent (yet) since
      binutils appears to barf on "fmrx rn, fpinst" and doesn't provide any
      other way (other than using the mrc equivalent) to encode this
      instruction - which is rather a problem when you have a VFP
      implementation which requires these instructions.

      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!
