The integrated assembler of Clang 10 and earlier do not allow to access
the VFP registers through the coprocessor load/store instructions:
arch/arm/vfp/vfpmodule.c:342:2: error: invalid operand for instruction
fmxr(FPEXC, fpexc & ~(FPEXC_EX|FPEXC_DEX|FPEXC_FP2V|FPEXC_VV|FPEXC_TRAP_MASK));
^
arch/arm/vfp/vfpinstr.h:79:6: note: expanded from macro 'fmxr'
asm("mcr p10, 7, %0, " vfpreg(_vfp_) ", cr0, 0 @ fmxr " #_vfp_ ", %0"
^
<inline asm>:1:6: note: instantiated into assembly here
mcr p10, 7, r0, cr8, cr0, 0 @ fmxr FPEXC, r0
^
This has been addressed with Clang 11 [0]. However, to support earlier
versions of Clang and for better readability use of VFP assembler
mnemonics still is preferred.
Ideally we would replace this code with the unified assembler language
mnemonics vmrs/vmsr on call sites along with .fpu assembler directives.
The GNU assembler supports the .fpu directive at least since 2.17 (when
documentation has been added). Since Linux requires binutils 2.21 it is
safe to use .fpu directive. However, binutils does not allow to use
FPINST or FPINST2 as an argument to vmrs/vmsr instructions up to
binutils 2.24 (see binutils commit 16d02dc907c5):
arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.S: Assembler messages:
arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.S:162: Error: operand 0 must be FPSID or FPSCR pr FPEXC -- `vmsr FPINST,r6'
arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.S:165: Error: operand 0 must be FPSID or FPSCR pr FPEXC -- `vmsr FPINST2,r8'
arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.S:235: Error: operand 1 must be a VFP extension System Register -- `vmrs r3,FPINST'
arch/arm/vfp/vfphw.S:238: Error: operand 1 must be a VFP extension System Register -- `vmrs r12,FPINST2'
Use as-instr in Kconfig to check if FPINST/FPINST2 can be used. If they
can be used make use of .fpu directives and UAL VFP mnemonics for
register access.
This allows to build vfpmodule.c with Clang and its integrated assembler.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Some platforms might not be able to fully utilize VFP when e.g: one CPU
out of two in a SMP complex lacks a VFP unit. Adding code to migrate
task to the CPU which has a VFP unit would be cumbersome and not
performant, instead, just add the ability to disable VFP.

The subarchitecture field in the fpsid register is 7 bits wide on
ARM CPUs using the CPUID identification scheme, spanning bits 22
to 16. The topmost bit is used to designate that the
subarchitecture designer is not ARM when it is set to 1. On
non-CPUID scheme CPUs the subarchitecture field is only 4 bits
wide and the higher bits are used to indicate no double precision
support (bit 20) and the FTSMX/FLDMX format (bits 21-22).
The VFP support code only looks at bits 19-16 to determine the
VFP version. On Qualcomm's processors (Krait and Scorpion) we
should see that we have HWCAP_VFPv3 but we don't because bit 22
is set to 1 to indicate that the subarchitecture is not
implemented by ARM and the rest of the bits are left as 0 because
this is the first subarchitecture that Qualcomm has designed.
Unfortunately we can't just widen the FPSID subarchitecture
bitmask to consider all the bits on a CPUID scheme because there
may be CPUs without the CPUID scheme that have VFP without double
precision support and then the version would be a very wrong and
large number. Instead, update the version detection logic to
consider if the CPU is using the CPUID scheme.
If the CPU is using CPUID scheme, use the MVFR registers to
determine what version of VFP is supported. We already do this
for VFPv4, so do something similar for VFPv3 and look for single
or double precision support in MVFR0. Otherwise fall back to
using FPSID to detect VFP support on non-CPUID scheme CPUs. We
know that VFPv3 is only present in CPUs that have support for the
CPUID scheme so this should be equivalent.
