Crash in -next due to 'MIPS: Move FP usage checks into protected_{save, restore}_fp_context'

[Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net>]

Hi,

my qemu test for mipsel crashes with next-20150715 as follows.

...
Btrfs loaded
console [netcon0] enabled
netconsole: network logging started
Freeing unused kernel memory: 284K (808f9000 - 80940000)
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000008

Bisect points to commit 'MIPS: Move FP usage checks into protected_{save,
restore}_fp_context'. Bisect log is as follows.

The problem is not seen with bit endian qemu test.

Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help debugging
this problem.

Thanks,
Guenter
