From: Manuel Lauss Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 2/2] MIPS: make FPU emulator optional Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2014 12:57:04 +0200 Message-Id: <1396868224-252888-2-git-send-email-manuel.lauss@gmail.com> This small patch makes the MIPS FPU emulator optional. The kernel kills float-users on systems without a hardware FPU by sending a SIGILL. Disabling the emulator shrinks vmlinux by about 54kBytes (32bit, optimizing for size). Signed-off-by: Manuel Lauss --- v4: rediffed because of patch 1/2, should now work with micromips as well v3: updated patch description with size savings. v2: incorporated changes suggested by Jonas Gorski force the fpu emulator on for micromips: relocating the parts of the mmips code in the emulator to other areas would be a much larger change; I went the cheap route instead with this. arch/mips/Kbuild | 2 +- arch/mips/Kconfig | 14 ++++++++++++++ arch/mips/include/asm/fpu.h | 5 +++-- arch/mips/include/asm/fpu_emulator.h | 15 +++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) --- a/arch/mips/Kconfig +++ b/arch/mips/Kconfig @@ -2667,6 +2667,20 @@ config MIPS_O32_FP64_SUPPORT If unsure, say N. +config MIPS_FPU_EMULATOR + bool "MIPS FPU Emulator" + default y + help + This option lets you disable the built-in MIPS FPU (Coprocessor 1) + emulator, which handles floating-point instructions on processors + without a hardware FPU.
