It is called from the kernel with code similar to this: sub r4, r5, #4 ldrt r0, [r4] @ r0 = instruction adrsvc al, r9, ret_from_exception @ r9 = normal FP return adrsvc al, lr, fpundefinstr @ lr = undefined instr return get_current_task r10 mov r8, #1 strb r8, [r10, #TSK_USED_MATH] @ set current->used_math add r10, r10, #TSS_FPESAVE @ r10 = workspace ldr r4, .LC2 ldr pc, [r4] @ Call FP emulator entry point The kernel expects the emulator to return via one of two possible points of return it passes to the emulator. The emulator, if successful in its emulation, jumps to ret_from_exception (passed in r9) and the kernel takes care of returning control from the trap to the user code. If the emulator is unable to emulate the instruction, it returns via _fpundefinstr (passed via lr) and the kernel halts the user program with a core dump. On entry to the emulator r10 points to an area of private FP workspace reserved in the thread structure for this process. This is where the emulator saves its registers across calls. The first word of this area is used as a flag to detect the first time a process uses floating point, so that the emulator startup cost can be avoided for tasks that don't want it. This routine does three things: 1) The kernel has created a struct pt_regs on the stack and saved the user registers into it. See /usr/include/asm/proc/ptrace.h for details. 2) It calls EmulateAll to emulate a floating point instruction. EmulateAll returns 1 if the emulation was successful, or 0 if not. 3) If an instruction has been emulated successfully, it looks ahead at the next instruction. If it is a floating point instruction, it executes the instruction, without returning to user space. In this way it repeatedly looks ahead and executes floating point instructions until it encounters a non floating point instruction, at which time it returns via _fpreturn. This is done to reduce the effect of the trap overhead on each floating point instructions. GCC attempts to group floating point instructions to allow the emulator to spread the cost of the trap over several floating point instructions. */ .globl nwfpe_enter nwfpe_enter: mov r4, lr @ save the failure-return addresses mov sl, sp @ we access the registers via 'sl' ldr r5, [sp, #60] @ get contents of PC; emulate: bl EmulateAll @ emulate the instruction cmp r0, #0 @ was emulation successful moveq pc, r4 @ no, return failure next: .Lx1: ldrt r6, [r5], #4 @ get the next instruction and @ increment PC and r2, r6, #0x0F000000 @ test for FP insns teq r2, #0x0C000000 teqne r2, #0x0D000000 teqne r2, #0x0E000000 movne pc, r9 @ return ok if not a fp insn str r5, [sp, #60] @ update PC copy in regs mov r0, r6 @ save a copy ldr r1, [sp, #64] @ fetch the condition codes bl checkCondition @ check the condition cmp r0, #0 @ r0 = 0 ==> condition failed @ if condition code failed to match, next insn beq next @ get the next instruction; mov r0, r6 @ prepare for EmulateAll() b emulate @ if r0 != 0, goto EmulateAll @ We need to be prepared for the instructions at .Lx1 and .Lx2 @ to fault.
