    arm64: compat: fix vfp save/restore across signal handlers in big-endian · bdec97a8
    Will Deacon authored
    When saving/restoring the VFP registers from a compat (AArch32)
    signal frame, we rely on the compat registers forming a prefix of the
    native register file and therefore make use of copy_{to,from}_user to
    transfer between the native fpsimd_state and the compat_vfp_sigframe.
    
    Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well in a big-endian environment.
    Our fpsimd save/restore code operates directly on 128-bit quantities
    (Q registers) whereas the compat_vfp_sigframe represents the registers
    as an array of 64-bit (D) registers. The architecture packs the compat D
    registers into the Q registers, with the least significant bytes holding
    the lower register. Consequently, we need to swap the 64-bit halves when
    converting between these two representations on a big-endian machine.
    
    This patch replaces the __copy_{to,from}_user invocations in our
    compat VFP signal handling code with explicit __put_user loops that
    operate on 64-bit values and swap them accordingly.
