From: Dave Patel <dave.patel at riscstar.com>
This patch adds proper support for per-domain floating-point (FP) and
vector (V) contexts in the domain context switch logic. Each domain
now maintains its own FP and vector state, which is saved and restored
during domain switches.
Conditionalize FP and Vector save/restore based on extensions, unconditional
save and restore of floating-point (FP) and Vector registers fails on
generic platform firmware. This firmware must run on multiple platforms
that may lack these extensions.
Address this by conditionally executing FP save/restore only if the underlying
hart supports the F or D extensions. Similarly, perform Vector save/restore
only if the hart supports the Vector extension.
Changes include:
- Added `fp_ctx` and `vec_ctx` members to `struct hart_context`.
- Introduced dynamic vector struct allocation for vlenb in 'struct hart_context'
to allocate and free per-domain FP and vector context.
- Modified `sbi_domain_register()` to initialize FP/Vector context per domain.
- Updated `switch_to_next_domain_context()` to save/restore FP and vector
contexts safely:
- Ensures FS/VS fields in `mstatus` are enabled (set to Initial) only if Off.
- Added runtime checks for FP and vector extensions where needed.
- Added SBI_HART_EXT_F, SBI_HART_EXT_D, SBI_HART_EXT_V to enum
sbi_hart_extensions and the sbi_hart_ext[] array. Use sbi_hart_has_extension()
to check for these capabilities before performing the context switches
This improves support for multi-domain systems with FP and Vector
extensions, and prevents corruption of FP/Vector state during domain
switches.
