    MIPS: prctl: Disallow FRE without FR with PR_SET_FP_MODE requests · 28e4213d
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
    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'.
