powerpc/signal: Don't manage floating point regs when no FPU
There is no point in copying floating point regs when there
is no FPU and MATH_EMULATION is not selected.
Create a new CONFIG_PPC_FPU_REGS bool that is selected by
CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION and CONFIG_PPC_FPU, and use it to
opt out everything related to fp_state in thread_struct.
The asm const used only by fpu.S are opted out with CONFIG_PPC_FPU
as fpu.S build is conditionnal to CONFIG_PPC_FPU.
The following app spends approx 8.1 seconds system time on an 8xx
without the patch, and 7.0 seconds with the patch (13.5% reduction).
On an 832x, it spends approx 2.6 seconds system time without
the patch and 2.1 seconds with the patch (19% reduction).
void sigusr1(int sig) { }
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i = 100000;
signal(SIGUSR1, sigusr1);
for (;i--;)
raise(SIGUSR1);
exit(0);
}
