2010-02-23 06:13:23 Emmet Hikory description Observed for example running ffplay to decode H.264 video on Babbage 2.0 This needs to be worked around by a separate kernel image for the affected platforms, or the ability to enable or disable CONFIG_NEON at boot. Note that the principal problem here is the reporting of neon in the auxv AT_HWCAP word and /proc/cpuinfo which may mislead userspace apps into using NEON. The NEON context-switching code enabled by CONFIG_NEON should not itself cause problems. Observed for example running ffplay to decode H.264 video on Babbage 2.0 This needs to be worked around by a separate kernel image for the affected platforms, or the ability to enable or disable CONFIG_NEON at boot. Note that the principal problem here is the reporting of neon in the auxv AT_HWCAP word and /proc/cpuinfo which may mislead userspace apps into using NEON. The NEON context-switching code enabled by CONFIG_NEON should not itself cause problems. TEST CASE ======= 1) Download the neon-checker.tar.gz attachment 2) Build this with the following: $ gcc -g -march=armv7 -mfpu=neon -o neon-check neon-check.s $ gcc -g -march=armv7 -mfpu=neon -o neon-probe neon-probe.s 3) Run each of neon-check and neon-probe $ ./neon-check & $ ./neon-probe & Result if bug is present: neon-check will exit immediately with SIGILL or print error messages Result if bug is addressed: both programs run without error endlessly (this can be considered satisfied aftern an hour or so for SRU verification purposes)
