Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/7] arm64/fpsimd: Don't warn when EFI execution context is preemptible
Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 19:43:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250514174339.1834871-13-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250514174339.1834871-9-ardb+git@google.com>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Kernel mode FP/SIMD no longer requires preemption to be disabled, so
only warn on uses of FP/SIMD from preemptible context if the fallback
path is taken for cases where kernel mode NEON would not be allowed
otherwise.
