This is good for consistency even if there is no difference in compiled
code. LTO might rely on this eventually. No need to preserve the extern
attribute as it is the default with function prototypes.

This patch adds ptrace support for setting and getting the VFP registers
using PTRACE_SETVFPREGS and PTRACE_GETVFPREGS. The user_vfp structure
defined in asm/user.h contains 32 double registers (to cover VFPv3 and
Neon hardware) and the FPSCR register.

<title>[ARM] 5349/1: VFP: Add PM code to save and restore current VFP state</title>

<id>fc0b7a20368193e1f7cf1376624eed419b9c33e6</id>
<content type='text'>
When CONFIG_PM is selected, the VFP code does not have any handler
installed to deal with either saving the VFP state of the current
task, nor does it do anything to try and restore the VFP after a
resume.

On resume, the VFP will have been reset and the co-processor access
control registers are in an indeterminate state (very probably the
CP10 and CP11 the VFP uses will have been disabled by the ARM core
reset). When this happens, resume will break as soon as it tries to
unfreeze the tasks and restart scheduling.

Add a sys device to allow us to hook the suspend call to save the
current thread state if the thread is using VFP and a resume hook
which restores the CP10/CP11 access and ensures the VFP is disabled
so that the lazy swapping will take place on next access.

This patch adds the support for VFPv3 (the kernel currently supports
VFPv2). The main difference is 32 double registers (compared to 16).

These two instructions exceptionally take a single precision register
as their operand.  This means we can't use vfp_get_dm() to read the
register number - we need to use vfp_get_sm() instead.  Add a flag to
indicate this exception to the general rule.

The current lazy saving of the VFP registers is no longer possible
with thread migration on SMP. This patch implements a per-CPU
vfp-state pointer and the saving of the VFP registers at every context
switch. The registers restoring is still performed in a lazy way.

VECITR in Floating-Point Exception register indicates the number of
remaining short vector iterations after a potential exception was
detected.

In case of exception caused by scalar instructions, VECITR is NOT updated.
Therefore emulation for VFP must ignore VECITR field
and treat "veclen" as zero when recognizing scalar instructing.

Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz

vfp_put_double didn't work in a CONFIG_AEABI kernel.  By swapping
the arguments, we arrange for them to be in the same place regardless
of ABI.  I made the same change to vfp_put_float for consistency.

Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz

The recent fix to hide VFP_NAN_FLAG broke the check in vfp_raise_exceptions;
it would attempt to deliver an exception mask of 0xfffffeff instead of reporting
a serious error condition using printk.  Define a safe constant to use for
an invalid exception maskm, and use it at both ends.
