This patchset implements floating point support for the
M-profile Arm cores and enables it for the Cortex-M4 and
Cortex-M33 (both of which should really have an FPU).
The floating point instructions for M-profile are basically
the same as for A-profile (with some minor differences like
not having all the VFP sysregs, and definitely not having
the old VFP length/stride handling). The major differences are
in the exception handling:
* on exception entry and exit we may want to stack and
unstack FP registers, as we do for integer registers
* M-profile supports a "lazy stacking" mode, which means that
on exception entry we do not stack the FP registers that
the calling convention requires us to preserve, but just
reserve space for them. Then if the exception handler
executes an FP instruction we spill the FP registers to
the stack only at that point
There are also two M-profile-only instructions, VLLDM and
VLSTM, which are for guest code to actively trigger the
lazy-stacking.
Most interesting bit to review is probably whether I got the
handling of the new TB flag bits right (in patches 18, 19
and 23), since they have a kind of self-clearing property
that's a bit non-standard.
thanks
