Re: [PATCH v4 00/15] Unified cross-architecture kernel-mode FPU API

From: Christian König

I only skimmed over the platform patches and spend only a few minutes on the amdgpu stuff.

From what I've seen this series seems to make perfect sense to me, I just can't fully judge everything.

So feel free to add Acked-by: Christian König <christian.koenig@xxxxxxx> but I strongly suggest that Harry and Rodrigo take a look as well.

Regards,
Christian.

This series unifies the kernel-mode FPU API across several architectures
by wrapping the existing functions (where needed) in consistently-named
functions placed in a consistent header location, with mostly the same
semantics: they can be called from preemptible or non-preemptible task
context, and are not assumed to be reentrant. Architectures are also
expected to provide CFLAGS adjustments for compiling FPU-dependent code.
For the moment, SIMD/vector units are out of scope for this common API.

This allows us to remove the ifdeffery and duplicated Makefile logic at
each FPU user. It then implements the common API on RISC-V, and converts
a couple of users to the new API: the AMDGPU DRM driver, and the FPU
self test.

The underlying goal of this series is to allow using newer AMD GPUs
(e.g. Navi) on RISC-V boards such as SiFive's HiFive Unmatched. Those
GPUs need CONFIG_DRM_AMD_DC_FP to initialize, which requires kernel-mode
FPU support.

Previous versions:

v0: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20231122030621.3759313-1-samuel.holland@xxxxxxxxxx/

Changes in v4:
- Add missed CFLAGS changes for recov_neon_inner.c
(fixes arm build failures)
- Fix x86 include guard issue (fixes x86 build failures)

Changes in v3:
- Rebase on v6.9-rc1
- Limit riscv ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT to 64BIT

Changes in v2:
- Add documentation explaining the built-time and runtime APIs
- Add a linux/fpu.h header for generic isolation enforcement
- Remove file name from header comment
- Clean up arch/arm64/lib/Makefile, like for arch/arm
- Remove RISC-V architecture-specific preprocessor check
- Split altivec removal to a separate patch
- Use linux/fpu.h instead of asm/fpu.h in consumers
- Declare test_fpu() in a header
