When we want to use float point operation on Linux
we need to use within special kernel protection
(`kernel_fpu_{begin,end}()`.), otherwise the kernel
can clobber userspace FPU register state. For detecting
these issues we use a tool named objtool (with -Ffa
flags) to highlight the FPU problems, all warnings can
be summed up as follows:
./tools/objtool/objtool check -Ffa
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dml/dml_common_defs.o
[..] dc/dsc/rc_calc.o: warning: objtool: get_qp_set()+0x2f8:

[..] dc/dsc/rc_calc.o: warning: objtool: dsc_roundf()+0x5:

[..] dc/dsc/rc_calc_dpi.o: warning: objtool:
dscc_compute_dsc_parameters()+0x7b:
FPU instruction outside of kernel_fpu_{begin,end}()
This commit fixes the above issues by rework DSC as described:
1. Isolate all FPU operations in a single file;
2. Use FPU flags only in the file that handles FPU operations;
3. Isolate all functions that require float point operation in static
functions;
4. Add a mid-layer function that does not use any float point operation,
and that could be safely invoked in other parts of the code.
5. Keep float point operation under DC_FP_{START/END} macro.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
