[PATCH] powerpc: change giveup_fpu/altivec to disable VSX for current

[PATCH] powerpc: change giveup_fpu/altivec to disable VSX for current

[Michael Neuling]

When we call giveup_fpu, we need to need to turn off VSX in current.
If we don't, on return to current it may execute a VSX instruction
(before the next FP), and not have it's register state refreshed
correctly from the thread_struct.  Ditto for altivec.

This caused a bug where an unaligned lfs or stfs (which calls
giveup_fpu so it can use the FPRs) to return to userspace with FP off
but VSX on.  Then if a VSX instruction is executed, before another FP
instruction, it will proceed without another exception and hence have
the incorrect register state for VSX registers 0-31.

   lfs unaligned   <- alignment exception turns FP off but leaves VSX on

   VSX instruction <- no exception since VSX on, hence we get the
                      wrong VSX register values for VSX registers 0-31
                      (overlapping the FPRs)
