Subject: [PATCH 1/3] signal: Add FPE_FLTUNK si_code for undiagnosable fp exceptions
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2018 16:02:38 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1519228960-10883-2-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1519228960-10883-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com>

Some architectures cannot always report accurately what kind of
floating-point exception triggered a floating-point exception trap.

This can occur with fp exceptions occuring on lanes in a vector
instruction on arm64 for example.

Rather than have every architecture come up with its own way of
descrbing such a condition, this patch adds a common FPE_FLTUNK do
report that an fp exception caused a trap but we cannot be certain
which kind of fp exception it was.
