Ard Biesheuvel 3931261ecf arm64: fpsimd: Bring cond_yield asm macro in line with new rules
We no longer disable softirqs or preemption when doing kernel mode SIMD,
and so for fully preemptible kernels, there is no longer a need to do any
explicit yielding (and for non-preemptible kernels, yielding is not
needed either).

That leaves voluntary preemption, where only explicit yield calls may
result in a reschedule. To retain the existing behavior for such a
configuration, we should take the new situation into account, where the
preempt count will be zero rather than one, and yielding to pending
softirqs is unnecessary.

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.
