[RFC PATCH 10/11] Cortex-M3: Add VFP support

Sun Jan 22 06:13:36 EST 2012


From: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas at arm.com>

This patch adds support for the ARMv7-M VFP extension. It uses the lazy
state preservation mechanism available in hardware for the S0-S15
registers. The S16-S32 registers are saved at a context switch if the
thread being scheduled out ever used the VFP. Similarly, the S16-S31
registers are restored if the thread being scheduled in ever used the
VFP.
