Subject: [PATCH 3.17 008/122] MIPS: fix EVA & non-SMP non-FPU FP context signal handling
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 14:43:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141205223306.740952173@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141205223305.514276242@linuxfoundation.org>
3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com>
commit 14fa12df1d6bc1d3389a0fa842e0ebd8e8a9af26 upstream.
The save_fp_context & restore_fp_context pointers were being assigned
to the wrong variables if either:
- The kernel is configured for UP & runs on a system without an FPU,
since b2ead5282885 "MIPS: Move & rename
fpu_emulator_{save,restore}_context".
- The kernel is configured for EVA, since ca750649e08c "MIPS: kernel:
signal: Prevent save/restore FPU context in user memory".
This would lead to FP context being clobbered incorrectly when setting
up a sigcontext, then the garbage values being saved uselessly when
returning from the signal.
Fix by swapping the pointer assignments appropriately.
