[PATCH v4 02/15] ARM: Implement ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORT

Samuel Holland samuel.holland at sifive.com
Fri Mar 29 00:18:17 PDT 2024


ARM provides an equivalent to the common kernel-mode FPU API, but in a
different header and using different function names. Add a wrapper
header, and export CFLAGS adjustments as found in lib/raid6/Makefile.
