From 6cbd1d6d36c5d8312de99d1dfa3bec40ac840ce0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samuel Holland Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:18:16 -0700 Subject: arch: add ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names, header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options. provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.
