2013-09-27arm64: fix possible invalid FPSIMD initialization stateJiang Liu
If context switching happens during executing fpsimd_flush_thread(), stale value in FPSIMD registers will be saved into current thread's fpsimd_state by fpsimd_thread_switch(). That may cause invalid initialization state for the new process, so disable preemption when executing fpsimd_flush_thread().

2013-08-20arm64: add support for kernel mode NEONArd Biesheuvel
Add <asm/neon.h> containing kernel_neon_begin/kernel_neon_end function declarations and corresponding definitions in fpsimd.c These are needed to wrap uses of NEON in kernel mode. The names are identical to the ones used in arm/ so code using intrinsics or vectorized by GCC can be shared between arm and arm64.

2012-09-17arm64: Floating point and SIMDCatalin Marinas
This patch adds support for FP/ASIMD register bank saving and restoring during context switch and FP exception handling to generate SIGFPE. There are 32 128-bit registers and the context switching is currently done non-lazily. Benchmarks on real hardware are required before implementing lazy FP state saving/restoring.
