This patchset enables FPSIMD lazy save and restore for ARM64, you could apply it against v3.12-rc2.
We have done basic functional tests on ARM fast model, but still lack of detail performance benchmark on real hardware platforms. We would appreciate if you could help to test it on really hardware platforms!
The first two patches are bugfixes for current FPSIMD implementations. The other five patches implements FPSIMD lazy save and restore.
Jiang Liu (7): arm64: fix possible invalid FPSIMD initialization state arm64: restore FPSIMD to default state for kernel and signal contexts arm64: implement basic lazy save and restore for FPSIMD registers arm64: provide boot option "eagerfpu" to control FPSIMD restore policy arm64: reuse FPSIMD hardware context if possible amd64: avoid saving and restoring FPSIMD registers until threads access them arm64: disable lazy load if FPSIMD registers are frequently used
