25 /* This is the kernel's entry point into the floating point emulator.
26 It is called from the kernel with code similar to this:
29 teqp pc, #PSR_I_BIT | MODE_SVC
31 ldr pc, [r4] @ Call FP module USR entry point
33 The kernel expects the emulator to return via one of two possible
34 points of return it passes to the emulator. The emulator, if
35 successful in its emulation, jumps to ret_from_exception and the
36 kernel takes care of returning control from the trap to the user code.
37 If the emulator is unable to emulate the instruction, it returns to
38 fpundefinstr and the kernel halts the user program with a core dump.
40 This routine does four things:
42 1) It saves SP into a variable called userRegisters. The kernel has
43 created a struct pt_regs on the stack and saved the user registers
44 into it. See /usr/include/asm/proc/ptrace.h for details. The
45 emulator code uses userRegisters as the base of an array of words from
46 which the contents of the registers can be extracted.
48 2) It locates the FP emulator work area within the TSS structure and
51 3) It calls EmulateAll to emulate a floating point instruction.
52 EmulateAll returns 1 if the emulation was successful, or 0 if not.
54 4) If an instruction has been emulated successfully, it looks ahead at
55 the next instruction. If it is a floating point instruction, it
56 executes the instruction, without returning to user space. In this
57 way it repeatedly looks ahead and executes floating point instructions
58 until it encounters a non floating point instruction, at which time it
59 returns via _fpreturn.
61 This is done to reduce the effect of the trap overhead on each
62 floating point instructions. GCC attempts to group floating point
63 instructions to allow the emulator to spread the cost of the trap over
64 several floating point instructions. */
