Currently fp-stress only covers userspace use of floating point, it does not cover any kernel mode uses. Since currently kernel mode floating point usage can't be preempted and there are explicit preemption points in the existing implementations this isn't so important for fp-stress but when we readd preemption it will be good to try to exercise it. When the arm64 accelerated crypto operations are implemented we can relatively straightforwardly trigger kernel mode floating point usage by using the crypto userspace API to hash data, using the splice() support in an effort to minimise copying. We use /proc/crypto to check which accelerated implementations are available, picking the first symmetric hash we find. We run the kernel mode test unconditionally, replacing the second copy of the FPSIMD testcase for systems with FPSIMD only. If we don't think there are any suitable kernel mode implementations we fall back to running another copy of fpsimd-stress. There are a number issues with this approach, we don't actually verify that we are using an accelerated (or even CPU) implementation of the algorithm being tested and even with attempting to use splice() to minimise copying there are sizing limits on how much data gets spliced at once.

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 reStructuredText 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.
