+/* This is the kernel's entry point into the floating point emulator.
+It is called from the kernel with code similar to this:
+
+ sub r4, r5, #4
+ ldrt r0, [r4] @ r0 = instruction
+ adrsvc al, r9, ret_from_exception @ r9 = normal FP return
+ adrsvc al, lr, fpundefinstr @ lr = undefined instr return
+
+ get_current_task r10
+ mov r8, #1
+ strb r8, [r10, #TSK_USED_MATH] @ set current->used_math
+ add r10, r10, #TSS_FPESAVE @ r10 = workspace
+ ldr r4, .LC2
+ ldr pc, [r4] @ Call FP emulator entry point
+
+The kernel expects the emulator to return via one of two possible
+points of return it passes to the emulator. The emulator, if
+successful in its emulation, jumps to ret_from_exception (passed in
+r9) and the kernel takes care of returning control from the trap to
+the user code. If the emulator is unable to emulate the instruction,
+it returns via _fpundefinstr (passed via lr) and the kernel halts the
+user program with a core dump.
+
+On entry to the emulator r10 points to an area of private FP workspace
+reserved in the thread structure for this process. This is where the
+emulator saves its registers across calls. The first word of this area
+is used as a flag to detect the first time a process uses floating point,
+so that the emulator startup cost can be avoided for tasks that don't
+want it.
+
+This routine does three things:
+
+1) The kernel has created a struct pt_regs on the stack and saved the
+user registers into it. See /usr/include/asm/proc/ptrace.h for details.
+
+2) It calls EmulateAll to emulate a floating point instruction.
+EmulateAll returns 1 if the emulation was successful, or 0 if not.
+
+3) If an instruction has been emulated successfully, it looks ahead at
+the next instruction. If it is a floating point instruction, it
+executes the instruction, without returning to user space. In this
+way it repeatedly looks ahead and executes floating point instructions
+until it encounters a non floating point instruction, at which time it
+returns via _fpreturn.
+
+This is done to reduce the effect of the trap overhead on each
+floating point instructions. GCC attempts to group floating point
+instructions to allow the emulator to spread the cost of the trap over
+several floating point instructions. */
