* Use only NEON instructions, or VFP instructions that don't rely on support
code
* Isolate your NEON code in a separate compilation unit, and compile it with
- '-mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp'
+ '-march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp'
* Put kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() calls around the calls into your
NEON code
* Don't sleep in your NEON code, and be aware that it will be executed with
Therefore, the recommended and only supported way of using NEON/VFP in the
kernel is by adhering to the following rules:
* isolate the NEON code in a separate compilation unit and compile it with
- '-mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp';
+ '-march=armv7-a -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp';
* issue the calls to kernel_neon_begin(), kernel_neon_end() as well as the calls
into the unit containing the NEON code from a compilation unit which is *not*
built with the GCC flag '-mfpu=neon' set.
