From a4e4a6ee0cc6e069926d006b7a6efd73d33edfcc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:23:29 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7308/1: vfp: flush thread hwstate before copying ptrace registers commit 8130b9d7b9d858aa04ce67805e8951e3cb6e9b2f upstream. If we are context switched whilst copying into a thread's vfp_hard_struct then the partial copy may be corrupted by the VFP context switching code (see "ARM: vfp: flush thread hwstate before restoring context from sigframe"). This patch updates the ptrace VFP set code so that the thread state is flushed before the copy, therefore disabling VFP and preventing corruption from occurring.
