2008-01-26[ARM] 4583/1: ARMv7: Add VFPv3 supportCatalin Marinas
This patch adds the support for VFPv3 (the kernel currently supports VFPv2). The main difference is 32 double registers (compared to 16). Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
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.

2007-07-20[ARM] vfp: make fpexc bit names less verboseRussell King
Use the fpexc abbreviated names instead of long verbose names for fpexc bits. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
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.

2006-08-30[ARM] 3750/3: Fix double VFP emulation for EABI kernelsDaniel Jacobowitz
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz vfp_put_double didn't work in a CONFIG_AEABI kernel. By swapping the arguments, we arrange for them to be in the same place regardless of ABI. I made the same change to vfp_put_float for consistency. Signed-off-by: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@codesourcery.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2006-06-22[ARM] Enable VFP to be built when non-VFP capable CPUs are selectedRussell King
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.

2006-04-10[ARM] 3473/1: Use numbers 0-15 for the VFP double registersCatalin Marinas
Patch from Catalin Marinas This patch changes the double registers numbering to 0-15 from even 0-30, in preparation for future VFP extensions. It also fixes the VFP_REG_ZERO bug (value 16 actually represents the 8th double register with the original numbering). The original mcrr/mrrc on CP10 were generating FMRRS/FMSRR instead of FMRRD/FMDRR. The patch changes to CP11 for the correct instructions.

2006-03-25[ARM] 3398/1: Fix the VFP registers loading/storing base addressCatalin Marinas
Patch from Catalin Marinas The current VFP code corrupts the VFP registers (including the control ones) if more than one floating point application is executed at the same time. This patch fixes the updating of the load/store base addresses for the VFP registers.

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!
