Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names, header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options. provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
