Summary
fcsrduring kernel thread context switches.mathmodule in MicroPython./lib.Implementation details
Floating-point context switching
SwitchContextnow stores:fcsr)The scheduler eagerly saves the outgoing thread's floating-point state and restores the incoming thread's state during every context switch.
The kernel normally runs with
sstatus.FS=Off. The context-switch assembly temporarily enables floating-point access only while copying FP state and disables it before returning to Rust code.RISC-V assembly workaround
Rust currently lowers
naked_asm!to global assembly without reliably forwarding the target's floating-point extensions to LLVM's assembler.Each floating-point assembly fragment is therefore locally wrapped with:
