My original, naive, FPU support patch had the FPCSR register stored during both the *mode switch* and *context switch*. This is wasteful. Also, the original patches did not save the FPU state when handling signals during the system call fast path. We fix this by moving the FPCSR state to thread_struct in task_struct. We also introduce new helper functions save_fpu and restore_fpu which can be used to sync the FPU with thread_struct. These functions are now called when needed: - Setting up and restoring sigcontext when handling signals - Before and after __switch_to during context switches - When handling FPU exceptions - When reading and writing FPU register sets In the future we can further optimize this by doing lazy FPU save and restore. For example, FPU sync is not needed when switching to and from kernel threads (x86 does this). FPU save and restore does not need to be done two times if we have both rescheduling and signal work to do. However, since OpenRISC FPU state is a single register, I leave these optimizations for future consideration. Signed-off-by: Stafford Horne <shorne@gmail.com> |
