[RFC PATCH v1 05/19] powerpc/signal: Don't manage floating point regs when no FPU

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Wed Aug 12 2020 - 08:06:14 EST


There is no point in copying floating point regs when there
is no FPU and MATH_EMULATION is not selected.

Create a new CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS bool that is selected by
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION and CONFIG_PPC_FPU, and use it to
opt out everything related to fp_state in thread_struct.

The asm const used only by fpu.S are opted out with CONFIG_PPC_FPU
as fpu.S build is conditionnal to CONFIG_PPC_FPU.

The following app spends approx 8.1 seconds system time on
an 8xx without the patch, and 7.0 seconds with the patch.

void sigusr1(int sig) { }

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i = 100000;

signal(SIGUSR1, sigusr1);
for (;i--;)
raise(SIGUSR1);
exit(0);
}
