[PATCH 0/5] arm64: Move kernel mode FPSIMD buffer to the stack

[Ard Biesheuvel]

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Move the buffer for preserving/restoring the kernel mode FPSIMD state on a
context switch out of struct thread_struct, and onto the stack, so that
the memory cost is not imposed needlessly on all tasks in the system.

Patches #1 - #3 contains some prepwork so that patch #4 can tighten the
rules around permitted usage patterns of kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end(). This permits #5 to provide a stack buffer to
kernel_neon_begin() transparently, in a manner that ensures that it will
remain available until after the associated call to kernel_neon_end()
returns.

Ard Biesheuvel (5):
  crypto/arm64: aes-ce-ccm - Avoid pointless yield of the NEON unit
  crypto/arm64: sm4-ce-ccm - Avoid pointless yield of the NEON unit
  crypto/arm64: sm4-ce-gcm - Avoid pointless yield of the NEON unit
  arm64/fpsimd: Require kernel NEON begin/end calls from the same scope
  arm64/fpsimd: Allocate kernel mode FP/SIMD buffers on the stack
