This series provides support running Vector in kernel mode.
Additionally, kernel-mode Vector can be configured to run without
turnning off preemption on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel. Along with the
suport, we add Vector optimized copy_{to,from}_user. And provide a
simple threshold to decide when to run the vectorized functions.
We decided to drop vectorized memcpy/memset/memmove for the moment due
to the concern of memory side-effect in kernel_vector_begin(). The
detailed description can be found at v9[0]
This series is composed by 4 parts:
patch 1-4: adds basic support for kernel-mode Vector
patch 5: includes vectorized copy_{to,from}_user into the kernel
patch 6: refactor context switch code in fpu [1]
patch 7-10: provides some code refactors and support for preemptible
kernel-mode Vector.
This series can be merged if we feel any part of {1~4, 5, 6, 7~10} is
mature enough.
This patch is tested on a QEMU with V and verified that booting, normal
userspace operations all work as usual with thresholds set to 0. Also,
we test by launching multiple kernel threads which continuously executes
and verifies Vector operations in the background. The module that tests
these operation is expected to be upstream later.
* b4-shazam-merge:
riscv: vector: allow kernel-mode Vector with preemption
riscv: vector: use kmem_cache to manage vector context
riscv: vector: use a mask to write vstate_ctrl
riscv: vector: do not pass task_struct into riscv_v_vstate_{save,restore}()
riscv: fpu: drop SR_SD bit checking
riscv: lib: vectorize copy_to_user/copy_from_user
riscv: sched: defer restoring Vector context for user
riscv: Add vector extension XOR implementation
riscv: vector: make Vector always available for softirq context
riscv: Add support for kernel mode vector

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.
