# 0707ae87 23-Feb-2017 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

Move arch independent functions to generic files and HAVE_FPU config


# ae8f2c99 23-Feb-2017 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

x86: move current active FPU owner to node state


# 323e60a7 23-Feb-2017 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

x86: define number of restore since switch as node state


# 2c00cdd7 09-Jan-2017 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

x86: Permit larger than required XSAVE regions

Instead of failing when the configured XSAVE region size is larger than required
this changes to print out a warning instead.


# a529810e 26-Nov-2016 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

x86: Initialize store area when using XSAVE variant instructions

When using, SSE (and other variants), mxcsr would assume similar role as
control word in i387 FPU. When initializing the FPU, it should have valid value.


# e7d0a886 24-Nov-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

x86: Rewrite config_default as config_ternary for FPU

config_default was intended to either evaluated to the passed configuration
value, or the a default value if the config didn't exist. For integer values
this does not actually work, and the default value always gets returned.
This commit reimplements the desired functionality as config_ternary, which
takes 3 arguments, a config to switch on and a desired true and false expansion


# 1c312610 23-Nov-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

x86: Switch to NULL FPU state if suspect no one using it

Adds a heuristic to switch to a NULL fpu state if we think the FPU
is not presently in use. A NULL fpu state is more efficient as
we do not have to enable/disable the FPU when switching threads


# cc685301 23-Nov-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

Remove unneeded usages of `VISIBLE`

Using `VISIBLE` where it is not needed limits the ability for the
compiler to optimize, especially when using whole program optimizations


# 44fc989c 03-Nov-2016 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

Store remote FPU state


# a85472a9 02-Nov-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

x86: Always consider FPU owernship of threads core

When checking if a thread is using the FPU or not we now check on that
threads core, under the assumption that if a thread migrates its FPU
state is explicitly (and not lazily) migrated.


# 7fbde1bb 14-Jun-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

SELFOUR-287: 32-bit vt-x implementation

This is an implementation of vt-x for x86 kernels running in
ia32 mode.


# 3f9eb7c8 06-Oct-2016 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

SELFOUR-632: implement cores non-architecture dependent structres


# 2cbc7123 28-Sep-2016 amrzar <azarrabi@nicta.com.au>

SELFOUR-630:preliminary booting application processors
- update core detection code and Kconfig file
- update kernel stack managment so that BSP does not use boot stack before IPI APs
- move arch dependant data to a single structure
- add cache line size to Kconfig
- add cpu indexing and apic id mapping
- boot APs to halting state
- add guard for kernel stack if there is only one core


# 4044e204 21-Sep-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

Revert "Merge pull request #358 in SEL4/sel4 from ~AZARRABI/sel4:multicore to master"

This reverts commit ce2f666bb811c5e4c779829fcb09d5a189ebcdbb, reversing
changes made to dc183f96b81f2344d7d0d910fc430f924eaae940.

SELFOUR-615: arm entry point stubs


# 3c05b79a 27-Jul-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

Provide generic C entry/exit hook routines

It can be deseriable to run code before/after user mode, but
not have to write it in assembly. This commit adds such stubs
that get called as the first/last C code when coming in
and out of the kernel


# d410e13b 02-Jun-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

trivial: style


# 93bca86e 01-Jun-2016 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@data61.csiro.au>

x86: Introduce support for XSAVE feature set

The XSAVE feature set is the future proof way for x86 CPUs to
manage extended CPU state. Extended state is MMX, FPU, SSE, AVX etc
registers. This is a replacement for the current FXSAVE and the
512 byte FPU region.

XSAVE introduces a few problems that this commit has to address

* The alignment of the XSAVE region is 64bytes, instead of the 16
bytes of the FXSAVE region
* XSAVE region size is dependent on the desired features, which
are detected at run time
* There are multiple variants of the XSAVE instruction that have
different potential optimizations, but are not always supported

The solutions to these are

* Re-order the FPU state and user registers in the user context
struct so that the new XSAVE region is first, and is thus
aligned to 64bytes without needing lots of padding
* Provide config options for desired features (including XSAVE
instruction variant) and required XSAVE region size. These
are checked at boot time to ensure the CPU meets these
requirements

x86: Rename ia32->x86

This is a stylistic commit to make names of variables/constants and
functions in the kernel more consistent. That is, things that are
not IA32 specific, but are generic x86, get renamed to having an
x86 name


# 88d73db0 15-Oct-2015 Anna Lyons <Anna.Lyons@nicta.com.au>

refactor tcb_t to remove duplication between x86 and arm header files


# 914741ea 27-May-2015 Adrian Danis <Adrian.Danis@nicta.com.au>

x86: Make x86 the name of the architecture instead of IA32

IA32 is 32bit version of the x86 architecture. Whilst only IA32
is supported, much of the code is generic x86. Using a generic
x86 architecture will aid in future 64bit support
