Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: prctl: Disallow FRE without FR with PR_SET_FP_MODE
 requests
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1805141439290.10896@tp.orcam.me.uk>
User-Agent: Alpine 2.00 (DEB 1167 2008-08-23)

Precedence: bulk

Having PR_FP_MODE_FRE (i.e. Config5.FRE) set without PR_FP_MODE_FR (i.e. 
Status.FR) is not supported as the lone purpose of Config5.FRE is to 
emulate Status.FR=0 handling on FPU hardware that has Status.FR=1 
hardwired[1][2].  Also we do not handle this case elsewhere, and assume 
throughout our code that TIF_HYBRID_FPREGS and TIF_32BIT_FPREGS cannot 
be set both at once for a task, leading to inconsistent behaviour if 
this does happen.

Return unsuccessfully then from prctl(2) PR_SET_FP_MODE calls requesting 
PR_FP_MODE_FRE to be set with PR_FP_MODE_FR clear.  This corresponds to 
modes allowed by `mips_set_personality_fp'.
