To fully isolate FPU operations in a single place, we must avoid situations where compilers spill FP values to registers due to FP enable in a specific C file. Note that even if we isolate all FPU functions in a single file and call its interface from other files, the compiler might enable the use of FPU before we call DC_FP_START. Nevertheless, it is the programmer's responsibility to invoke DC_FP_START/END in the correct place. To highlight situations where developers forgot to use the FP protection before calling the DC FPU interface functions, we introduce a helper that checks if the function is invoked under FP protection. If not, it will trigger a kernel warning. Changes cince V3: - Rebase Changes cince V2 (Christian): - Do not use this_cpu_* between get/put_cpu_ptr(). - In the kernel documentation, better describe restrictions. - Make dc_assert_fp_enabled trigger the ASSERT message. Changes since V1: - Remove fp_enable variables - Rename dc_is_fp_enabled to dc_assert_fp_enabled - Replace wrong variable type Cc: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Cc: Anson Jacob <Anson.Jacob@amd.com> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Hersen Wu <hersenxs.wu@amd.com> Cc: Aric Cyr <aric.cyr@amd.com> Cc: Jun Lei <jun.lei@amd.com> Cc: Dmytro Laktyushkin <dmytro.laktyushkin@amd.com> Cc: Qingqing Zhuo <qingqing.zhuo@amd.com> Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Siqueira <Rodrigo.Siqueira@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
