In the fpsp040 code when copyin or copyout fails call
force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) instead of do_exit(SIGSEGV).
This solves a couple of problems. Because do_exit embeds the ptrace
stop PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT a complete stack frame needs to be present for
that to work correctly. There is always the information needed for a
ptrace stop where get_signal is called. So exiting with a signal
solves the ptrace issue.
Further exiting with a signal ensures that all of the threads in a
process are killed not just the thread that malfunctioned. Which
avoids confusing userspace.
To make force_sigsegv(SIGSEGV) work in fpsp040_die modify the code to
save all of the registers and jump to ret_from_exception (which
ultimately calls get_signal) after fpsp040_die returns.
v2: Updated the branches to use gas's pseudo ops that automatically
calculate the best branch instruction to use for the purpose.
