From: Paul Burton Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 15:46:54 +0000 (+0100) Subject: MIPS: 16 byte align MSA vector context X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=37cddff8e330a8771afcdab96d9d8ec385584daf;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git MIPS: 16 byte align MSA vector context The MSA specification upon first read appears to suggest that it is safe to perform vector loads & stores with arbitrary alignment. However it leaves provision for "address-dependent exceptions"... Align the vector context to a 16 byte boundary to ensure that the kernel cannot cause any such exceptions. Note that the fpu field of struct thread_struct was already at a 16 byte boundary within the struct, the introduction of FPU_ALIGN simply makes the requirement explicit. The only part of this impacting the generated kernel binary is ARCH_MIN_TASKALIGN.
