Sometimes it's useful to amortize calls to XSAVE/XRSTOR and the related
FPU/SIMD functions over a number of calls, because FPU restoration is
quite expensive. This adds a simple header for carrying out this pattern:

    simd_context_t simd_context = simd_get();
    while ((item = get_item_from_queue()) != NULL) {
        encrypt_item(item, simd_context);
        simd_context = simd_relax(simd_context);
    }
    simd_put(simd_context);

The relaxation step ensures that we don't trample over preemption, and
the get/put API should be a familiar paradigm in the kernel.

Given that it's always supposed to be used like that, mightn't it be
better if simd_relax() took a pointer to the context, so the call is
just

    simd_relax(&simd_context);

?

The inlining means that there won't actually be a pointer dereference in
the emitted code.

If simd_put() also took a pointer then it could set the context back to
HAVE_NO_SIMD as well?

That's sort of a neat idea. I guess in this scheme, you'd envision:

   simd_context_t simd_context;

   simd_get(&simd_context);
   simd_relax(&simd_context);
   simd_put(&simd_context);

And this way, if simd_context ever becomes a heavier struct, it can be
modified in place rather than returned by value from the function. On
the other hand, it's a little bit more annoying to type and makes it
harder to do declaration and initialization on the same line.

Yes.  It's also how most get/put APIs already work in the kernel, eg
kref_get/put (mostly because they tend to be 'getting/putting' an
already-initialized object, though).

Right; in this case the object wouldn't be initialized yet, which
might defeat the purpose, since one advantage of the & way you
mentioned is _put modifies the context.

Andy - any opinions on this? The tl;dr is:

1) what we have now:

simd_context_t simd_context = simd_get();
for (item in items) {
    do_something(item);
    simd_context = simd_relax(simd_context);
}
simd_put();

2) what kevin is proposing:

simd_context_t simd_context;

simd_get(&simd_context);
for (item in items) {
    do_something(item);
    simd_relax(&simd_context);
}
simd_put(&simd_context);

I can see pros and cons of each approach.

Rather, simd_put(simd_context);

Good idea.

Hey Kevin,

I found numerous other advantages in doing it the way you suggested
(which also helped squash some bugs), and so this will be part of v5.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Regards,
Jason
