powerpc/process: Fix flush_all_to_thread for SPE
Fix a bug introduced by the creation of flush_all_to_thread() for processors that have SPE (Signal Processing Engine) and use it to compute floating-point operations. >From userspace perspective, the problem was seen in attempts of computing floating-point operations which should generate exceptions. For example: fork(); float x = 0.0 / 0.0; isnan(x); // forked process returns False (should be True) The operation above also should always cause the SPEFSCR FINV bit to be set. However, the SPE floating-point exceptions were turned off after a fork(). Kernel versions prior to the bug used flush_spe_to_thread(), which first saves SPEFSCR register values in tsk->thread and then calls giveup_spe(tsk). After commit579e633e76
, the save_all() function was called first to giveup_spe(), and then the SPEFSCR register values were saved in tsk->thread. This would save the SPEFSCR register values after disabling SPE for that thread, causing the bug described above. Fixes579e633e76
