commit 3d9fb0038a9b02febb01efc79a4a5d97f1822a90 upstream.

VFPv4 support depends on the VFPv3 context save/restore code, so only
advertise support in the hwcaps if the kernel can actually handle it.

commit 15ac49b65024f55c4371a53214879a9c77c4fbf9 upstream.

While trying to get a v3.5 kernel booted on the cubox, I noticed that
VFP does not work correctly with VFP bounce handling.  This is because
of the confusion over 16-bit vs 32-bit instructions, and where PC is
supposed to point to.

The rule is that FP handlers are entered with regs-&gt;ARM_pc pointing at
the _next_ instruction to be executed.  However, if the exception is
not handled, regs-&gt;ARM_pc points at the faulting instruction.

This is easy for ARM mode, because we know that the next instruction and
previous instructions are separated by four bytes.  This is not true of
Thumb2 though.

Since all FP instructions are 32-bit in Thumb2, it makes things easy.
We just need to select the appropriate adjustment.  Do this by moving
the adjustment out of do_undefinstr() into the assembly code, as only
the assembly code knows whether it's dealing with a 32-bit or 16-bit
instruction.

<title>ARM: 7477/1: vfp: Always save VFP state in vfp_pm_suspend on UP</title>

commit 24b35521b8ddf088531258f06f681bb7b227bf47 upstream.

vfp_pm_suspend should save the VFP state in suspend after
any lazy context switch.  If it only saves when the VFP is enabled,
the state can get lost when, on a UP system:
  Thread 1 uses the VFP
  Context switch occurs to thread 2, VFP is disabled but the
     VFP context is not saved
  Thread 2 initiates suspend
  vfp_pm_suspend is called with the VFP disabled, and the unsaved
     VFP context of Thread 1 in the registers

Modify vfp_pm_suspend to save the VFP context whenever
vfp_current_hw_state is not NULL.

Includes a fix from Ido Yariv &lt;ido@wizery.com&gt;, who pointed out that on
SMP systems, the state pointer can be pointing to a freed task struct if
a task exited on another cpu, fixed by using #ifndef CONFIG_SMP in the
new if clause.

vfp_pm_suspend runs on each cpu, only clear the hardware state

cpu clears the hw state pointer when another cpu has already

Commit ff9a184c ("ARM: 7400/1: vfp: clear fpscr length and stride bits
on entry to sig handler") flushes the VFP state prior to entering a
signal handler so that a VFP operation inside the handler will trap and
force a restore of ABI-compliant registers. Reflushing and disabling VFP
on the sigreturn path is predicated on the saved thread state indicating
that VFP was used by the handler -- however for SMP platforms this is
only set on context-switch, making the check unreliable and causing VFP
register corruption in userspace since the register values are not
necessarily those restored from the sigframe.

This patch unconditionally flushes the VFP state after a signal handler.
Since we already perform the flush before the handler and the flushing
itself happens lazily, the redundant flush when VFP is not used by the
handler is essentially a nop.

<title>ARM: 7417/1: vfp: ensure preemption is disabled when enabling VFP access</title>

<content type='text'>
The vfp_enable function enables access to the VFP co-processor register
space (cp10 and cp11) on the current CPU and must be called with
preemption disabled. Unfortunately, the vfp_init late initcall does not
disable preemption and can lead to an oops during boot if thread
migration occurs at the wrong time and we end up attempting to access
the FPSID on a CPU with VFP access disabled.

This patch fixes the initcall to call vfp_enable from a non-preemptible
context on each CPU and adds a BUG_ON(preemptible) to ensure that any
similar problems are easily spotted in the future.

The ARM PCS mandates that the length and stride bits of the fpscr are
cleared on entry to and return from a public interface. Although signal
handlers run asynchronously with respect to the interrupted function,
the handler itself expects to run as though it has been called like a
normal function.

This patch updates the state mirroring the VFP hardware before entry to
a signal handler so that it adheres to the PCS. Furthermore, we disable
VFP to ensure that we trap on any floating point operation performed by
the signal handler and synchronise the hardware appropriately. A check
is inserted after the signal handler to avoid redundant flushing if VFP
was not used.
