[RFC PATCH 5/6] riscv: vector: allow kernel-mode Vector with preemption

Björn Töpel bjorn at kernel.org
Tue Sep 12 04:57:27 PDT 2023


From: Andy Chiu <andy.chiu at sifive.com>

Add kernel_vstate to keep track of kernel-mode Vector registers when
trap introduced context switch happens. Also, provide trap_pt_regs to
let context save/restore routine reference status.VS at which the trap
takes place. The thread flag TIF_RISCV_V_KERNEL_MODE indicates whether
a task is running in kernel-mode Vector with preemption 'ON'. So context
switch routines know and would save V-regs to kernel_vstate and restore
V-regs immediately from kernel_vstate if the bit is set.

Apart from a task's preemption status, the capability of
running preemptive kernel-mode Vector is jointly controlled by the
RISCV_V_VSTATE_CTRL_PREEMPTIBLE mask in the task's
thread.vstate_ctrl. This bit is masked whenever a trap takes place in
kernel mode while executing preemptive Vector code.

Also, provide a config CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_V_PREEMPTIVE to give users an
option to disable preemptible kernel-mode Vector at build time. Users
with constraint memory may want to disable this config as preemptible
kernel-mode Vector needs extra space for tracking per thread's
kernel-mode V context. Or, users might as well want to disable it if all
kernel-mode Vector code is time sensitive and cannot tolerate context
swicth overhead.
