[v4,4/6] riscv: sched: defer restoring Vector context for user

Commit Message

Andy Chiu Dec. 13, 2023, 1:13 p.m. UTC

User will use its Vector registers only after the kernel really returns
to the userspace. So we can delay restoring Vector registers as long as
we are still running in kernel mode. So, add a thread flag to indicates
the need of restoring Vector and do the restore at the last
arch-specific exit-to-user hook. This save the context restoring cost
when we switch over multiple processes that run V in kernel mode. For
example, if the kernel performs a context swicth from A->B->C, and
returns to C's userspace, then there is no need to restore B's
V-register.

Besides, this also prevents us from repeatedly restoring V context when
executing kernel-mode Vector multiple times.

The cost of this is that we must disable preemption and mark vector as
busy during vstate_{save,restore}. Because then the V context will not
get restored back immediately when a trap-causing context switch happens
in the middle of vstate_{save,restore}.

Changelog v4:
 - fix typos and re-add Conor's A-b.
Changelog v3:
 - Guard {get,put}_cpu_vector_context between vstate_* operation and
   explain it in the commit msg.
 - Drop R-b from Björn and A-b from Conor.
Changelog v2:
 - rename and add comment for the new thread flag (Conor)
