From 6eb6c80187c55b7f95683bc6502dccac54b95b92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Janet Liu Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 12:04:32 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: kernel thread don't need to save fpsimd context. kernel thread's default fpsimd state is zero. When fork a thread, if parent is kernel thread, and save hardware context to parent's fpsimd state, but this hardware context is user process's context, because kernel thread don't use fpsimd, it will not introduce issue, it add a little cost.
