23/* This is the kernel's entry point into the floating point emulator.
24It is called from the kernel with code similar to this:
25
26	sub	r4, r5, #4
27	ldrt	r0, [r4]			@ r0  = instruction
28	adrsvc	al, r9, ret_from_exception	@ r9  = normal FP return
29	adrsvc	al, lr, fpundefinstr		@ lr  = undefined instr return
30
31	get_current_task r10
32	mov	r8, #1
33	strb	r8, [r10, #TSK_USED_MATH]	@ set current->used_math
34	add	r10, r10, #TSS_FPESAVE		@ r10 = workspace
35	ldr	r4, .LC2
36	ldr	pc, [r4]			@ Call FP emulator entry point
37
38The kernel expects the emulator to return via one of two possible
39points of return it passes to the emulator.  The emulator, if
40successful in its emulation, jumps to ret_from_exception (passed in
41r9) and the kernel takes care of returning control from the trap to
42the user code.  If the emulator is unable to emulate the instruction,
43it returns via _fpundefinstr (passed via lr) and the kernel halts the
44user program with a core dump.
45
46On entry to the emulator r10 points to an area of private FP workspace
47reserved in the thread structure for this process.  This is where the
48emulator saves its registers across calls.  The first word of this area
49is used as a flag to detect the first time a process uses floating point,
50so that the emulator startup cost can be avoided for tasks that don't
51want it.
52
53This routine does three things:
54
551) The kernel has created a struct pt_regs on the stack and saved the
56user registers into it.  See /usr/include/asm/proc/ptrace.h for details.
57
582) It calls EmulateAll to emulate a floating point instruction.
59EmulateAll returns 1 if the emulation was successful, or 0 if not.
60
613) If an instruction has been emulated successfully, it looks ahead at
62the next instruction.  If it is a floating point instruction, it
63executes the instruction, without returning to user space.  In this
64way it repeatedly looks ahead and executes floating point instructions
65until it encounters a non floating point instruction, at which time it
66returns via _fpreturn.
67
68This is done to reduce the effect of the trap overhead on each
69floating point instructions.  GCC attempts to group floating point
70instructions to allow the emulator to spread the cost of the trap over
71several floating point instructions.  */
