    x86: fix math_emu register frame access · d315760f
    Tejun Heo authored
    do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
    it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
    argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
    argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
    of configuration in the current code.
    
    This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
    other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
    pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
    like normal C functions do.  This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
    struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
    correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
    used.
    
    This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
    somewhat working.
