[PATCH 7/9] aarch64: Add thread state types


From: Sergey Bugaev
Subject: [PATCH 7/9] aarch64: Add thread state types
Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2024 12:01:47 +0300

Notes:
* TPIDR_EL0, the TLS pointer, is included in the generic state directly.
* TPIDR2_EL0, part of the SME extension, is not included in the generic
  state.  If we add SME support, it will be a part of something like
  aarch64_sme_state.
* CPSR is not a real register in AArch64 (unlike in AArch32), but a
  collection of individually accessible bits and pieces from PSTATE.
  Due to how the kernel accesses user mode's PSTATE (via SPSR), it's
  convenient to represent PSTATE as a pseudo-register in the same
  format as SPSR.  This is also what QEMU and XNU do.
* There is no hardware-enforced 'natural' order to place the registers
  in, since no registers get pushed onto the stack on exception entry.
  Saving and restoring registers from an instance of struct
  aarch64_thread_state is implemented entirely in software, and the
  format is essentially arbitrary.
* aarch64_float_state includes registers of a 128-bit type; this may
  create issues for compilers other than GCC.
* fp_reserved is not a register, but a placeholder.  If and when Arm
  adds another floating-point meta-register, this will be changed to
  represent it, and that would not be considered a compatibility break,
  so don't access fp_reserved by name, or its value, from userland.
  Instead, memset the whole structure to 0 if starting from scratch, or
  memcpy an existing structure.

More thread state types could be added in the future, such as
aarch64_debug_state, aarch64_virt_state (for hardware-accelerated
virtualization), potentially ones for PAC, SVE/SME, etc.
