Subject: [PATCH] Fix process crash in 2.4 on attempt to use FPU on MIPS32
Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2006 01:25:14 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44AD7FBA.8000203@ru.mvista.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 403 bytes --]

If there's built-in FPU in a MIPS32 CPU the first time the process tries
to use it, the kernel should crash with "reserved instruction" -- CPU will try
to execute 'dmtc1' which is a MIPS64 only insn. _init_fpu() was apprently 
blindly copied form arch/mips64/... :-)

Since this occured with GXemul recently resending this 1.5 year old patch.
