Subject: [PATCH 4.13 02/53] MIPS: math-emu: Remove pr_err() calls from fpu_emu()
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 18:15:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171016161442.360274567@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171016161442.263947886@linuxfoundation.org>

4.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@imgtec.com>

commit ca8eb05b5f332a9e1ab3e2ece498d49f4d683470 upstream.

The FPU emulator includes 2 calls to pr_err() which are triggered by
invalid instruction encodings for MIPSr6 cmp.cond.fmt instructions.
These cases are not kernel errors, merely invalid instructions which are
already handled by delivering a SIGILL which will provide notification
that something failed in cases where that makes sense.

In cases where that SIGILL is somewhat expected & being handled, for
example when crashme happens to generate one of the affected bad
encodings, the message is printed with no useful context about what
triggered it & spams the kernel log for no good reason.

Remove the pr_err() calls to make crashme run silently & treat the bad
encodings the same way we do others, with a SIGILL & no further kernel
log output.
