+Subject: Fix the VFP handling on the Feroceon CPU
+X-Git-Url: http://www.linux-arm.org/git?p=linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=85d6943af50537d3aec58b967ffbd3fec88453e9;hp=26584853a44c58f3d6ac7360d697a2ddcd1a3efa
+
+Fix the VFP handling on the Feroceon CPU
+
+This CPU generates synchronous VFP exceptions in a non-standard way -
+the FPEXC.EX bit set but without the FPSCR.IXE bit being set like in the
+VFP subarchitecture 1 or just the FPEXC.DEX bit like in VFP
+subarchitecture 2. The main problem is that the faulty instruction
+(which needs to be emulated in software) will be restarted several times
+(normally until a context switch disables the VFP). This patch ensures
+that the VFP exception is treated as synchronous.
