[PATCH v3 09/28] arm64/sve: Signal frame and context structure definition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patch defines the representation that will be used for the SVE
register state in the signal frame, and implements support for
saving and restoring the SVE registers around signals.

The same layout will also be used for the in-kernel task state.

Due to the variability of the SVE vector length, it is not possible
to define a fixed C struct to describe all the registers.  Instead,
Macros are defined in sigcontext.h to facilitate access to the
parts of the structure.

Changes since v2
----------------

Requested by Catalin Marinas:

 * Rewrite the SVE_VQ_BYTES and SVE_VQ_MAX definitions in decimal, to
   avoid any resemblance to masks or bitfields.

+ *
+ * The same convention applies when returning from a signal: a caller
+ * will need to remove or resize the sve_context block if it wants to
+ * make the SVE registers live when they were previously non-live or
+ * vice-versa.  This may require the the caller to allocate fresh
+ * memory and/or move other context blocks in the signal frame.

+ * Changing the vector length during signal return is not permitted:

+ * doing a sigreturn.

+ *
+ * Note: for all these macros, the "vq" argument denotes the SVE
+ * vector length in quadwords (i.e., units of 128 bits).

+ * The correct way to obtain vq is to use sve_vq_from_vl(vl).  The
